Are you an early adopter of new gadgets? Or someone who waits until their friends try the new Apple product before you buy it yourself? I usually find myself in the second category…wishing I was in the first!
Recently I’ve been trying to think through my daily routine and recognize ways that technology might be able to help. Kind of a “work smarter, not harder” philosophy.
In doing this, I have found a ton of new gadgets (most of which are very affordable) that have brought a ton of value to my daily life.
Keep reading to learn about these products, plus a few more, that I think you’ll love.

Advance Tile Trackers – Cool Gadget
I’m sure y’all have seen Tile trackers, but this new multi-pack is really stepping it up a notch. The pack includes:
- A credit card shaped tile to put in your wallet.
- The ability to ping the trackers so they start making a sound.
- The ability to share the Tile Bluetooth connection with other contacts in your phone, in case they need to track something for you.

LARQ Self-Cleaning Water Bottle
In case you haven’t heard, Houston has faced some major water contamination issues this week. Even before this issue, I’ve been using self-filtering water bottles to make my day easier.
Instead of filtering water in a Brita and then pouring it in the bottle, this product does the whole process in one. Again…smarter not harder 🙂

Rechargeable USB Lighter – Useful Gadget
Y’all…this one has changed my life. Lighters are so annoying, and refilling them when they’re out of fluid is always such a pain.
I recently purchased this lighter and will never go back to the “normal” kind. All you do is turn this lighter on, and it’ll produce the perfect flame for lighting candles or other small wicks.

Sugru Moldable Glue
So you caught me…this one isn’t necessarily a gadget. But, most of these gadgets include some sort of cord–which is where this product comes in.
This moldable glue reinforces cords, to prevent them from breaking down. When cords start coming apart, use this glue (which hardens after 30 minutes after being unwrapped) to make sure the damage doesn’t get any worse.

Google Pixel Buds – Smart Gadget
I am planning a ton of trips this summer, and am always looking for ways to make travelling easier. These Google Pixel Buds are Bluetooth headphones (think AirPods, but from Google!) but have one very important feature.
According to Google, these headphones include “real-time translations right in your ear, whether you’re ordering dinner in Tokyo or visiting your multilingual family.”

Fingerprint Padlocks – Handy Gadget
I’m always struggling with padlocks, and more often than not choose to forgo them and leave my stuff unprotected. But after a few stolen bikes…this needs to change.
I think this fingerprint-enabled padlock is SUCH a great idea. Basically instead of having to enter a combination, it’s operated with a system like Touch ID to only unlock the lock when your fingerprint is recognized.

Coffee Mug Warmer – Awesome Gadget
This one came purely out of my own need. My morning coffee is usually consumed from an on-the-go type cup, but I love having my afternoon coffee/tea in a mug. Something about it the mug just makes the drink better.
But, coffee in mugs can get cold super easily–which is where this product comes in. It’s really a hot plate, that gets just warm enough to keep your coffee mug warm while you drink without getting too hot. Think of it as a coaster with heat!
