    Not only can this charger be used to charge USB-C smartphones, but it will also charge bigger devices, such as the newer MacBooks.

    Swiss-Tech Utili-Key 6-in-1

    The Swiss-Tech Utili-Key 6-in-1 is the smallest multitool that I've owned, not much bigger than a key. I have one attached to my car keys, house keys, and I have a couple in the office, and I'm surprised how often I turn to them. A great accessory to add to your keyring!

    It features:

    - Flat screwdriver

    - Phillips screwdriver

    - Micro-sized screwdriver (perfect for eyeglasses)

    - Straight blade knife

    - Serrated blade knife

    - Bottle opener

  • Mio MiVue 766 WIFI dash cam

    Mio MiVue 766 WIFI dash cam

    The MiVue 766 WIFI dash cam is built around two key components. The first is the Sony IMX323 (Exmor) 2-megapixel sensor that is capable of full HD 1920 x 1080p recording at 30fps, and featuring an f1.8 aperture, which gives it good low-light capability. This is paired with a 140◦ wide-angle lens, giving the dash cam an outstanding field of view.

    The other component is the 2.7-inch touchscreen display that's used for both setup and for user feedback when the dash cam is in use.
