Keep this gadget in the freezer when not in use. Then, take it out and pour hot coffee in it and watch as it chills down your coffee without watering it down. Pretty awesome, right?

Thermacell’s portable mosquito repeller works just as well as bug spray, if not better. And unlike the bug spray, this portable repeller doesn’t have any gross fumes that make you smell like chemicals. Just pop in the cartridges that come with the device and set it down in a central area for a 15-foot zone bug shield. We found it much more effective than candles and fact that you don’t have to deal with any kind of repulsive fragrance is a big plus. If you love the great outdoors, especially near bodies of water or humid areas, this is a must-have gadget.

After testing a LifeStraw water bottle for over three months of camping now, we can confidently say every individual should try one of these devices. The drinking straw (hence the name) protects up to 99.99% of bacteria, parasites, microplastics, and dirt, making even some of the most unappealing water drinkable. While this means you can essentially drink water from a stream or river without worry, we also use it a lot when filling up water bottles out in public—you can attach the LifeStraw to one of the brand’s water bottles for everyday use. Because nothing beats worry-free water, wherever you are.

When it comes time, just throw the thing in the washer for a fuss-free clean. After testing, we found this gadget was even good for keeping small pets in place or stuffed animals and the like should you have kiddos. Get one now.

This nifty all-in-one golf carrying case holds a glove, tees, pins, car keys, and more. Some might dub it a more petite man purse but we call it the dopp kit for golfers.

The vented design is quite sophisticated as it will keep contents dry and there’s even designated spots for ball markers and divot tools. Better still, it can attach to your bag or even attach to a belt loop. We dig the fact that you get access to four cool color options as well. Do not hit the links without it.

A good power bank is the true MVP in a tech-gadget drawer. This rugged one has a solar charging panel on the back for off-the-grid use, and it comes with an impressive 4 cables and 6 outputs. You even get a flashlight feature on the end, as well as a wireless charging pad that will work on AirPods and Apple Watches—just make sure you position them on the pad correctly or they can slide off and not charge. The fact that it works universally, accounting for all mobile device types, is fantastic.

Refrigerator deodorizers are not sexy, but this one from Purriko at least gets close with this sleek stainless steel design. That means you don’t have to hide it behind the pickles or six-pack of beer. Skip the dollar store deodorizers and pop this gadget into your fridge or freezer to control odor for years (Purriko says this device can last up to 10 years).

What’s more, you don’t have to do anything during that time except just let it set in your fridge. We found it to work better than baking soda and it also makes a nice gift. It’s underrated and wowed us from the get-go.

Pros

• Great value
• Brings order to tech chaos
• Three color options

This weird snake-like cable wrap has turned out to be one of the hottest selling gadgets seen on TikTok. The wire wrap will take multiple wires coming off a power strip and pack them all into one, eliminating that cluttered, corded mess.

The thing could not be easier to install and you’ll instantly add to your wires lifespan. There’s a lot of psychology to working from home and having an area that’s organized will keep you focused and refreshed. Sometimes your existing tech needs an extra assist and this gadget does that. You even get three color options to boot.

The Groove Wallet has been a favorite wallet of ours for over a year now thanks to its strong metal design and cool slide-action card holder design. You can pop in up to 6 cards and then store your cash on the back. If there’s a more modern wallet out there, we don’t know about it.

This puppy handles like a charm and can take on plenty of valuables while downsizing your clutter levels. That translates to know bulge in your pocket and something you like to show off when it’s time to pay for the bill.

Adding and electric salt and pepper grinder is a practical kitchen upgrade that adds a luxe touch. This set comes with 5 grinding settings and a charging station. The result is easy, labor-free grinding that’s even and measured. For perfectionist chefs, this is a fantastic kitchen gadget.

The base LED light gives the grinder a futuristic sense of cool while the settings are decidedly different and all quite useful. Use on obvious seasonings but also employ this puppy when using herbs or spice blends or rubs. Included is a cleaning brush that proved quite handy. We also enjoyed bringing this gadget outside during grill season.

Heat resistant gloves are the ultimate grilling gadget for a true hands-on approach to your food. What’s great about these gloves is they have a textured surface that grips onto big pots, as well as the fact they are easy to wash. That means more hands-on goodness in the kitchen and at your tailgaters.

They come in a half dozen color options and the cotton liner means they’re comfortable to wear. We were impressed by the grip these gloves afforded and moved around the kitchen with confidence, not dropping a thing.

Shipped in a set of 3, this ice cube tray produces thin ice cubes that can be dropped down into pretty much any type of bottle. This sounds like a silly invention until you think back on all those times you couldn’t fit ice into your favorite water bottle.

Shoot, you can even use this tool to make ice that can squeeze into a beer bottle or through the mouth of your favorite canned drink. They add a little colorful flair to your freezer and will remind you to stay hydrated. We even like using the tubular cubes in cocktails just to shake things up. And you get that all for less than $10.

Suitable for all Apple Watch models, including the Apple Watch Ultra, this portable keychain charger will give you on-the-fly juice for your watch at all times.
