Toddy Gear: Smart and Functional Tech Accessories

toddy gear

It is no surprise that I rely on my tech to not only keep me connected and working but also to keep my kids learning and sometimes entertained. Heck, we even have technology in places where we would never have dreamed of it 20 years ago. Just last week, a friend of ours told us to check out this wireless doorbell that she was having put in her home. Like, who would have thought we’d ever see the day where a doorbell is connected to the internet. I am lucky enough that my office can be where ever there is an internet connection and that also means I need to be ready to tackle work anywhere–even the fast food joint while my kids play for just a few more minutes.

When Toddy Gear asked me if I wanted to partner up I of course headed to their site to check out what they were all about. Most of the accessories for tech are on the masculine side–tough, durable and a bit drab. They always get bought and thrown into some dark corner of the house because they are ugly. I can’t find them when I need them and frankly, I don’t even want to pull them out because a beer fridge portable charger is not very fashionable or functional.

Toddy Gear Desktop Essentials Kit

In order to be taken seriously, you have to have the tools to help you succeed. My home desktop is the hub of my jobs, if it is not functional then nothing gets done. The Toddy Gear Desktop Essentials Kit is a welcome addition to keep me working, and working well on the go as well.   

Because when you are on the go the last thing you want to be dealing with is a dead phone battery. I own the Google Pixel which is a unique charger and almost noone has it. Having the Sanibel Smart Charge Deluxe in my purse not only gives me peace of mind, it means I can spend more time doing what I love without feeling chained to the power cord. You can even charge two devices at once so no need to choose between your phone and the kid’s tablet–do both!Some of the tech specs are:

  • 7000mAh battery for superior performance
  • Compatible with smartphones, tablets, and wearables that support charging via 5V/1A and 5V/2.1A USB interface
  • Glossy, mirror-like finish
  • Slim, elegant, and powerful for on-the-go charging
  • Digital LED indicators to display remaining power

Next up is the Wedge which is a beanbag-like stand for your smartphone or tablet. It not only looks great with the Sanibel pattern but it’s not something that would easily break if you throw it into your purse.  Bonus perk is that the bottom will clean your screen if you forget your Smart Cloth at home or are in a rush.

Speaking of the Smart Cloth I think that this is one of those understated items that everyone should own. The dual-sided cloth is fine microfiber on one side with a silky side to polish. Just last week our youngest took to spraying our TV with cleaner and trying to wash our screen. We now have black lines running down the TV because it really shouldn’t be in contact with moisture. Hopefully, our lesson learned will be a lesson for all of you as this cloth will work not only n tech but also glass, appliances, and dashboards. All together this bundle is kept safely in its carrying pouch while out and about and in constant use while at home.
