No mowing required
Cell phones charging on the counter with cords snaking all around aren’t a pretty sight. When will this cable hell end?  We’re going to be stuck with power cords for a while but you can make them go away with innovative products like the Grassy Lawn Charging Station. This little lawn resembles something that belongs outside of Barbie’s Dream House, yet charges most small devices that have a power cord. A compartment underneath hides all of the power adapters and cables.

Getting a jump on storage
You know what happens when you put your cell phone or keys on the counter: your family dumps papers and other stuff on top. If you’re tired of calling your cell phone to find it (trust me, I’m a master at that), leave temporary storage to the Kangaroo.  This handcrafted leather holder is functional and looks adorable too. It’s also ideal as a desktop holder for paperclips and rubber bands.

iPad notepad
You may not have bought an iPad, but did you know there’s a non-tech alternative? Check out the NotePod, a 100-page pad of paper that comes in two sizes: one fits in the palm of your hand and the other is around the size of a mousepad.  The best part? You don’t have to worry about whether or not it’s charged.
