Elago’s inspired charging stands
Elago’s spectacular Apple Watch charging stands are my favorite products on this list. And if you’re a fan of anything Apple (or retro gaming), I know you’ll love them, too.
They come in a number of outstanding designs inspired by the original Macintosh, the iconic iMac G3, early iPods and the very first Game Boy. And they come in a number of eye-catching colors.
They’re also surprisingly affordable, with prices starting at just $13. It’s a struggle to resist buying them all.
