Some gift guides have a theme, but this week we have a variety of very cool gifts that would be welcome Christmas gifts for anyone — techies or not.
Here are some things I’ve been trying out over the last few months that I’m happy to recommend.
• Jackery Explorer Portable Power Station and Solar Panel
What is it? This is a big battery that you use to power your stuff when you’re away from electricity. The Explorer Portable Power Station has a 240-watthour rechargeable battery that can keep your phone, tablet or portable electronics running when the power is out. There are USB, 12v car plug and 110V (200w) outlets. The SolarSaga 60 Solar Panel can keep the Power Station charged up from the sun.
Who is it for? This is perfect for anyone who wants to be prepared when the power goes out. It’s great for people who live in hurricane zones.
