Our company just recently purchases some of the chargers. They are awesome. We have random people asking where we got them in the airports. Highly recommend these.
Mobile device boost is great. I am constantly on my iphone or ipad and need the extra boost when no plug is around to charge my devices up. I love electronic swag. Dual car chargers is great for charging my devices while I get to my next destination.
These items are just the coolest things!
My absolute favourite item would have to be the Mobile Device Battery Boost, even though you are able to pretty much charge your devices in places like the airport etc, my one fear is always losing power on my iphone or ipad as I really do rely on these two devices. I think most people would find this really useful and it makes for brilliant corporate swag!!
I hear that Bea, I’ve found folks love it when they’re in a pinch (coffee shop / mode of transportation with no outlets, forgot their charger for the day, said charger breaks one fateful day…). Thank you for sharing!
