Iniu portable charger

A verified reviewer said, "I highly recommend getting any power bank by Iniu, you will not be disappointed. This is my third power bank from them (still have the other two). From this specific power bank I was able to get about four charges... they're reliable, compact, lightweight and are at a great price."

Simple Modern classic insulated tumbler

This TikTok-famous tumbler is beloved for keeping drinks icy cold. These sleek-looking drink containers are double walled and vacuum insulated. One reviewer said, "I've had ice at the bottom of my cup after 10 plus hours."

Car visor vanity mirror with LED lights

One passionate verified reviewer said, "I love everything about this visor mirror. First, you can charge it up for use when needed. This means the light will work without its being plugged in to the cigarette lighter until you run the charge down. 

"Second, there is a choice of lighting: bright white, or soft and mild yellow. Third, both types of light are dimmable so you can control the brightness. Fourth, the lights go all the way around the mirror. The practical benefit of this feature is that you can see just as well to apply your lipstick as you can your mascara. Fifth, because it plugs into the cigarette lighter to charge, you never have batteries to replace."

Never fight over the car charger again. This multi-charging cable with a 4.5-star review average is compatible with most mobile phones and tablets. The 4-foot-long cable will even reach the back seat.
