Perfect for a gadget geek, this almost-wireless Powermat plugs into a traditional wall socket and charges up to three devices at once. The devices must be fitted with receiver cases or USB connectors to get a charge. The lightweight mat folds up and comes with a small carrying case that you can toss in your bag when you're on the move.
Cost: $99, plus $39.99 for an iPhone Receiver Case or $29.99 for a universal receiver with a variety of USB tips
