![]() I got the cookie sheet at the Dollar Tree. I got this idea HERE and modified it a little bit to make it travel friendly. I’ll give you the details of how I modified each activity to fit our needs. I’ll direct you to the website from which I got the original idea so if you would like more specific directions, you can find them there. My friend’s family is also going on a beach vacation so we worked together…she did the printing and laminating and I gathered all the supplies. I hosted craft night at my house on Friday night so I had a nice block of time to get started on these activities. So…this week’s post isn’t about organizing, but with summer approaching, I thought I would share the games and activities I’ve created for Reuben for our upcoming road trip to the beach. Just keep in mind that, if you use it on your bedside table, it will briefly light up your dark room with an obnoxious LED when you put your phone on it to charge.Delightfully Inspiring Thursday: DIY Travel Games Posted: | Author: lifethroughmyeyes | Filed under: Crafts | 15 Comments ![]() As mentioned above, Anker’s soda can is like the precursor to its excellent new 3-in-1 Cube, but it’s much cheaper and does a fine job charging your phone at 7.5W alongside a set of earbuds. Anker 623 2-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charger (MagGo): This charger’s real name is terrible, so you should just call it the soda can.Then email me and teach me the ways of your cable management skills because I always end up turning this thing into a spaghetti monster of cords. It’s super handy and there’s nothing else quite like it. If you think you can find a good use for the Anker 637 in your space, just buy it. The Qi charger and USB ports can output up to about 65W combined you can charge up to seven devices at the same time (not counting the AC ports) or plug in a lone USB-C cable and get up to 65W of power - enough to power even some smaller MacBook Pros. The Anker 637 is like a weird amalgamation of a magnetic charging stand and a power strip - it has the magnetic Qi charger, two USB-C ports, four USB-A ports, and three AC ports. Anker 637 Magnetic Charging Station (MagGo): Ponder the almighty charging orb and all you can potentially plug into it.You could also use this thing as an improvised weapon against any would-be intruders since it’s two whole pounds of metal! Melee combat preparedness aside, though, you can get a more useful 3-in-1 charger for the $149.95 price. I love this thing as a bedside charger because it’s so hefty that your phone lifts right off without shifting the base even a millimeter. Nomad Base One Max: Speaking of premium, the Nomad Base One Max offers full MagSafe charging support and a built-in Apple Watch charger in a sleek and minimalist metal slab.It’s even sold at the Herman Miller store - need I say more? ![]() If you’re the type that obsesses over mid-century modern stylings like hairpin legs and Eames chairs, here’s your (non-MagSafe) magnetic charger. Courant Mag:2 Essentials / Classics: Courant’s same elevated formula but this time in a 2-in-1 charger for your phone and earbuds.Plus, the Mag:1 has a lengthy six-foot cable. It’s totally unnecessary, but if you want your tech to not be an eyesore to your home decor, I think they’re totally justifiable. ![]() Courant’s magnetic charging pucks don’t get you MagSafe speeds, but for $50 to $80 (discounted to as low as $40) and without a USB-C AC charger, you get a sleek design wrapped in soft linen material or posh leather. Courant Mag:1 Essentials / Classics: Sometimes having something a little “premium” is just, well, nice.If you’re lucky, it can go on sale for as low as $99.99, though you’ll need to BYO 20W AC adapter. Apple MagSafe Duo charger: If you’re going to spend as much as $129 on this Apple charger, I think it’s better to add another $30 and get the Mophie travel charger, but the Duo is perfectly adequate for travel or home use if you have just an iPhone and Apple Watch.
