I recently upgraded my phone to an iPhone 7 and I thought I’d compile a few of the accessories I have on my Christmas list and share them with y’all as gift giving inspiration for the phone lovers in your lives.
Portable Battery & Lipstick Charger – I am a gadget girl, but I’m not always near an outlet. Thanks to T-Mobile’s awesome international plan I’m able to have unlimited data and texting just about everywhere I go in the world. I need to be able to jump on Waze or Google Maps to find my way in a new city, take pictures and share them on Instagram and Facebook or Snapchat. Both of these chargers are pretty portable, but this large Anker charger charges my phone and iPad four full times before needing to be recharged itself. Oh, and this lipstick Anker charger is perfect for when my phone just needs that little boost.
Bluetooth speaker – Whether I’m dancing around my house, in a hotel room on vacation or by the pool this speaker comes in handy. I’ve been pairing my speaker with my computer recently and the connection is seamless. Spotify can play all day without any notification interruptions.
Glitter case – Kate Spade one – Glitter and protection, need I say more?
iTunes Gift Card – There are tons of free apps out there, but some of the best ones cost a bit, so I’m never upset when I see a few of these gift cards in my stocking. They come in handy when I buy photo editing apps and the fitness apps I’ve been into recently.
Wristlet with Charger in it – Why not have the best of both worlds? I’ve had my eye on this wristlet since it was announced and it’s on my wishlist. The durability and stylishness of a Kate Spade bag with charging power? Sign me all the way up!
Tempered Glass – These phones might be waterproof, but they’re not shatter-proof. I’ve been using this same tempered glass (but swapping out my matte screen protector on a regular basis) since last year. It’s gotten me through numerous warranty replacements and even now with a new phone. I had it on my iPhone 6 and it fits my iPhone 7.
Matte Screen Protector – I don’t know about y’all, but I can’t stand the makeup transference that happens when I talk on my phone. I’ve probably used a screen protector on every phone that I’ve owned, but it wasn’t until an old co-worker turned me on to the matte ones a few years ago that I switched it up and never looked back. I love how the matte screen feels when I’m typing on my phone and I feel like there isn’t as much makeup transference since I’ve made the switch. They’re so cheap and are typically sold in packs of 3 or 5 (in fact, the last one I got had 6 in there instead of 3), so I just rotate them out every 2 months or so.
10ft charging cable – I don’t know how I survived all these years without a 10ft charging cable. This bad boy’s perfect for those nights when I’m lounging on the couch or checking my social media accounts from my bed. No more twisting my body in awkward positions to make sure my phone stays plugged in and you can’t beat this price with a stick!
