Create a Charging Station

If your home is anything like my home, you’ve got charging cords and plugs scattered throughout the house. We are constantly on the hunt for our charging cables and have different devices all about the kitchen counter all the time.

I LOVE this idea from fellow contributor, Mellie, who created an awesome charging station in her home.

1) MobileVision charging station: I got the black faux leather cuz it goes with my decor. I got the big one that can hold multiple phones & tablets. There is a pretty, bamboo/wood one, but it got worse reviews for being more breakable/damageable (is that a word? lol). We are charging 3 IPhones, 1 older Kindle, and 1 FitBit right now. I still need to keep my Kindle charged by my bed because that is where I last use it at night to read.

Don’t forget the accessories, or you will be mad when you get it home & you can’t use it…

2) Sabrent 60 watt 10-port USB station: You need a little USB multi-port to stick into the bottom of the charging station so that you can stick all of your USB cables into it. The USB multi-port in turn has a power cord that you feed out the back of the charging station into your power outlet.

3) ZiBay 3-pack data lightning-to-USB-cable (short length)–You can use your IPhone, IPad, etc. chargers in this docking station. But, you will have a lot of extra cord length to deal with. You can buy little, shorter cables to solve this problem. That way, you can leave your longer cables elsewhere, and use these shorter cables specifically for the charging station. Most newer Apple products use these lightning cables, so make sure you are getting the correct cables for your device.
