XD Design solar window charger

This clean energy source will keep your gadgets fully charged – and all you need is a nearby window.

The days of worrying about a flat battery are over with this solar charger.

Cable drop

On the lower end of the cost scale, these ingenious little clips will save you from a mass of tangled wires again.

CableDrops are little drops that grasp peripheral cables to keep them in place, routed and within reach wherever you may need them. CableDrops put an end to the insanity of chasing that cable that seems to slip and disappear behind every flat surface, day after day.

Bamboo Spark

Ever been faced with taking notes in a meeting, only to then have to spend an hour typing them up? Those days are over with Bamboo Spark.

Using a smart ballpoint pen, you can capture handwritten notes on any paper and with the push of a button all that content is saved in the Bamboo Sparkapp for light editing and sharing.
