1/ A better battery backup.

Unlike power bricks that stay in the wall, or portable power packs that remain in your bag, the 2-in-1 Anker GaNPrime 733 Power Bank [$99.99; anker.com] goes everywhere. Plugged into the wall, it's a 65-watt charger that's likely faster than the adapter that came with your laptop, tablet, or phone, and it has one USB-A and two USB-C ports to power three devices simultaneously. Heading out? Pull the 733 out of the wall, fold up the prongs, and it's a TSA-friendly, 10,000-mAh battery that charges an iPhone 13 twice.

2/ Shades that switch.
