Holidy Gift Guide 2024 – The Power

To keep all your gear moving you need power.
Other than the camera batteries of course.
After seeing a ton of products this year, it’s clear that Anker is owning the market.
I may have a drawer full of batteries, but they are getting tired.
The latest are smaller, more powerful and faster charging. BTW, Everything below I have used, and recco!

Anker’s latest phone battery is a vast improvement on previous models as the “packs small, plays big” concept is in full view.
Their latest Anker MagGo Power Bank (10K, Slim) mag safe battery has so much juice, this should keep your phone going all day even with heavy usage, plus an extra full charge!


Smaller than your phone, this battery and connect via a USB-C cable or with mag safe to your phone.
One thing I have found is that these mag safe batteries can generate a little heat and have had my phone stop charging till the temp came down a bit.
Nothing to crazy, just a note.

Then they have the bigger power bank that will connect to your laptop, tablet, phone, and even charge multiple devices in a small footprint. Anker 737 24,000 mAh


The great thing about this one is the LCD read out telling you how much power is left in %, which is better than the traditional 4 light code.
Yes, it has a little heft but it’s a great unit for a content creator full day.

One other tiny battery from the folks at Rolling Square, fits on your keychain and is a great emergency top up for your phone that is super light and easy to carry.
Called the   TAU® 2 – Emergency keyring power bank, it has lightning & USB-C cables built right in, comes with QR code stickers that you can add your contact info to, in case you misplace your keys, plus a mountable charging

with a magnetic and is a perfect stocking stuffer as well. Of course, NEVER add your address! just a contact like a cel# social media contact or 2000mAh.

BTW, more products from Rolling Square will be featured this week in additional gift guides!

As we are all moving to USB-C, there is a home charging hub from Anker, called the Prime that has 4 fast charging USB-C ports, and 2 USB-A ports.

With a programable feature so you can choose how your gear is charged, making it a smart charger, it’s perfect base unit to use for all your  charging needs. Plus, it has a clock feature, which I’m a big fan of! The 4 USB-C ports are following the move to that format as everything is going there.

And part of all of the the new upgrades, are better USB-C charging cables for fast charging.

There are built to handle the faster charging speed
Here is the Anker version:

The Scosche brand is a braided, heavy-duty cable that can handle the fast charge.

Speaking of Scosche, one more item for you shopping list is the Scosche Dual Port USB-C 65 watt charger. It’s tiny, and the plug prongs fold into the body so it’s an easy travel device. If you can imagine an iPad charger block, except with 2 ports and super fast charging capability. Perfect for travel and will let you fast charge a laptop and phone in the same hub, as we all know laptop ports are in demand and anytime you can consolidate is a win.  Perfect for working in the coffee shop, or on a plane.

And here is  USB-C hub that will be included into the travel gift posting, although fits right here as well.

A  brilliant product from Twelve South it’s the PlugBug, that not only has 4 USB-C ports, folding plug for smoother packing, this unit has a tracking device built in, in case you leave your charging hub behind ! Maybe at the coffee shop, hotel room, shared workspace, or perhaps you just forgot to pack it!

Yep, working with Find My on your iPhone, I have been alerted when it’s left behind, so I know its working!.
You can also get this with a travel case that holds all of our internal plus adaptors.

There you have! a curated collection of power tools for you and /or your giftee!.

Remember, Black Friday is coming fast, and some of the brands above are already in the zone!
