The cushioned bottom makes it comfortable to prop the table on your legs while you work. When you’re done, fold up the table and carry it around via the built-in handle.

Promising review: “I use it with my iPad attached to my Magic Keyboard & it is PERFECT for what I need. When I need to un-attach the iPad from the keyboard to use with my Apple Pencil, the different positions put it at a perfect angle for me to get it done.”

2. HBN Outdoor Indoor Wireless Remote Control Outlet

The HBN Outdoor Indoor Wireless Remote Control Outlet lets you control everything from your decor to indoor appliances. Connect your holiday lights, air conditioner, heater, audio system, charging devices and more to this outlet and turn them on or off via remote control. Weatherproof construction means you don’t have to worry when it rains.

Promising review: “I needed something to be able to flip the outdoor lights I hung on and off without plugging and unplugging from the wall and found this product, and needed weather resistance for outdoor use and took a chance! Installation was as easy as plugging it in and connecting to remote which is easier than connecting a Bluetooth device.”

3. Tessan Multi-Plug Outlet Extender

We are using more devices than ever before at home, between zoom meetings, work, virtual get-togethers and online retail therapy. The Tessan Multi-Plug Outlet Extender has four AC outlets and three USB ports for all your charging needs. The outlets have enough space between them for multiple power adapters.

Promising review: “I needed a multi-plug for an outlet behind a nightstand. I need to plug in a table lamp, as well as a CPAP machine, and now a humidifier. Perfect space as this plug is flat enough to allow plenty of space behind the nightstand, where the cords can be plugged in on the top, front, and left/right sides.”

Promising review: “I really love this. Turns to front, side or back easily. I use to hang my purse on the front of the passenger seat while driving. If I have a passenger I just turn it & hang it on the backside of the seat.”

5. Homedics White Noise Sound Machine

Choose from four sounds to drift off to slumberland: white noise, summer night, ocean waves and rain. Set the machine to turn off automatically at 15, 30 or 45 minutes. Thanks to its compact size, you can travel with this sleep helper or fit it in a diaper bag.

9. Care Touch Lens Cleaning Wipes (210-pack)

They’ll even work on your camera lenses and glasses. The wipes contain a mild alcohol solution that’s safe for treated surfaces. You get 210 wipes per pack.

Promising review: “They work great and the box has so many of them. I use them every day on my glasses sunglasses and cell phone and I have still not run out. Great size to keep in your glasses case or car, the individual packets are the size of a wet wipe.”

There’s also room for your phone, chargers, SD cards and smaller tablets. The case is durable and waterproof, making it great for travel.

Promising review: “Brilliant idea! It is a sturdy item that stores away in a small area. We have a small kitchen and this provides much needed additional space to set items or dry them.”

13. Mr. Coffee Mug Warmer

Few things in life offer greater pleasure than a warm cup of coffee. And if it goes cold, it’s the total opposite. The Mr. Coffee Mug Warmer keeps your mug of coffee (or tea and cocoa) hot and ready.
