Don’t let the term ‘discontinued by the manufacturer’ put you off, I own one and use it everyday t o listen to songs and charge my iPhone 5 and now iPhones SE without any problems.

If you want to give someone a gift that is a combo of work & play; I suggest you buy them this awesome speaker charging dock by JBL. The dock charges iPhone 5 and later models along with iPod touch and iPod nano. The lightening connector will charge your gizmo in less time and… if you want to groove during this time then make sure the AC power cable is connected because you need that to get the uber awesome speakers get their jam on. There is also a USB slot at the back which then makes this sadly discontinued device a universally loved speaker. Capable of connecting AUX wires, you can listen to music via any device. Did I mention, it’s portable? Why yes it is. Just insert 5 AAA batteries and you are set for 4 – 5 hours easily. Since the price is going up every month, I suggest you nab this hard-to-compete charging speaker dock because its still under $100

What is life without a smartphone? Here is a portable charger which comes with two built-in cables for all smartphones supporting lightening cable and micro-USB cable. The integrated power indicator button on the side tells you the charging status and current battery life. With 4,000 mAH portable charger you can take care of both; Apple and micro USB devices easily during travel. If you are looking for something useful and under $100, then consider getting this. I got this particular tech idea from a newsletter sent by MyUS.

For the hygiene freak, set them up with this UV sanitizer 2.0. Simply connect the Sanitising device to a power outlet, place your phone inside and shut the lid. When the cleaning process is finished, the indicating light on top will go out. It takes about 5 – 10 minutes to get the germs off of your phone. This equipment is big enough to accommodate phones and phablets under 6.8″ L | 3.74″ W | 0.78″ H. This unique sanitizer by PhoneSoap (yes, that’s the manufacturer’s name) also acts like a charger. Simply connect the USB charging port into the back of this device and pass the wire through the secret tunnel to connect the phone while it sits for its UV bath 🙂 This particular gift idea was also taken from the MyUS newsletter which I’m subscribed to!
