Swivel Power

With each family member needing to power up multiple electronic devices these days, electrical outlets can easily turn into a turf war.

This rapid charging station with surge protection offers six, three-pronged outlets and three USB ports which means you can charge nine devices simultaneously.

This Swivel Power strip also rotates 180 degrees on its base, which makes it easier to access (an ideal feature when traveling, as hotel outlets are rarely where you want them to be).

“I originally got one of these for the home office but quickly realized it would be great when traveling,” says verified purchaser Allan Keiller. “I now keep one in my backpack when I travel. I found it very helpful when a hotel room has limited outlets available.”

From stilettos to golf shoes, you’ll never spend time searching for your shoe’s mate again.

“These hold my shoes in neat and tidy rows,” writes Deanna Locker, who had her suspicions at first. “I was skeptical they would accommodate bigger shoes (I range from a 9-10) but they fit great. They have some flex to them so I fit some really tall wedges in them as well.” The best shoe storage awaits.
