Monster Outlets to Go
You know that crazy dance you do in your hotel room to plug in all your devices--the one where you dive under table legs, discovering gum from previous occupants on the underside of that once-stately desk, and meeting the dust bunnies the cleaning staff left behind? Dance no more. Monster's Outlets to Go Power Strip gives you three AC outlets and one USB port to charge your various batteries while you recharge yours.
Price: $19.95
