We’re all juggling a lot during the holiday season, so we’ve gathered up some items to help you hold it all together. A headband with a hidden pocket can hold keys and cash while you’re out and about. A magnetic belt holder can help you get those last minute projects done without dropping the ball (or a nail), and a charger lock keeps your cords right where you left them. Find all these helpful products and more, right here.

Charger Keeper

Phone chargers are a hot commodity, so sometimes they’re “borrowed” without your knowledge. If you have a charger that you always keep in the same place (maybe one at your work desk or  your home entryway) this clever plastic gadget will keep it stationary. It snaps onto your charging block then screws into your outlet cover to make unplugging it a major chore for future thieves.

Cat Camera

It’s an age-old question: Did the cat ever move from the couch today or did he just remain there for all eight hours you were out? A pet camera can tell you the answer, but this camera is also made especially for kitties. It rotates 360 degrees, shoots out little treats via the app, and has a cute feather toy hanging off the top for added fun.

It’s like having a third hand!
