TILE MATE $25
This gadget helps find your keys — or remote
A good stocking stuffer, the Tile has been a popular Bluetooth locator for a few years. Attach one to your keychain — or luggage or remote control — and you will have instant help locating your keys with the companion smartphone app. Press a button in the app and your Mate will sound a ringtone.
The original Tile has been replaced by the smaller Tile Mate, which has a non-replaceable battery that lasts a year before you send the Mate back for replacement (at a discount).
SNAPPOWER GUIDELIGHT $15
Light your hallway with the outlet cover
The SnapPower Guidelight is a replacement cover for your outlets that have LED lights to provide a night light. The lights are controlled by electric eye. They will only light up when it is dark in your room.
Installation takes just a few seconds. It really is as easy as taking off your existing plug cover and popping on the SnapPower. You don’t even need to turn off the power.
For $20, there is also a SnapPower plate with a USB port to charge your phone or tablet.
