Keep your Wii controllers ready to go

My husband has always been a gamer even though he took off years while we were raising our children, we kept up with most of the new systems out there. Once he fell at his job and was recovering before we found out he would be disabled he got into gaming again to pass the time. 

We like to have items that are rechargeable so that we are not throwing away tons of batteries as they aren't good for the earth so recharging packs like these from Sminiker are just the answer. This set is charged through USB which is the only thing I would change as I like things that charge by regular cord but with an adapter which we already had I have the best of both worlds. 

This set comes with 4 battery packs and a charger that can charge up to 4 remotes at the same time. Wii remote not included. Easy to set up and use and will keep you playing for hours on end. The Sminiker charger for Wii can be found at my affiliate link below.

Suaoki Reversible-plug 50w 10A 6-Port USB Charger

One thing with all of the tech gear is that you need a place where you can charge it all. With a family that doubles, triples, etc. In our home alone we charge several of each device.

We were losing cords like crazy that is until we made a family charging hub where everyone's products go to be charged for the next days use, this also keeps the electronics out of the kids rooms at night when they should be sleeping.

This is a nice system because it doesn't matter which way you put your USB in as this works either way which makes life that much more simpler.


The Suaoki charger can be found on Amazon.

Family charger

If you are like me and have a family with several tech products then they all need a place to charge their items for the next day. This is a great item that you can plug in regular items as well as usb
items. This works great for both our laptops, ipads, ipods, etc. We made one area where everyone charges so there are no more lost cords, which cuts down on how much money is going out of our home, and insures our children are not going to bed with their tech.

My husband would actually like to see this with few extra plug in spots to be perfect for him, but until one comes along this fits our family quite well.


This Charger can be found on Amazon.

MagBox Make MagSafe 2

We do not have a magnetic interface like the macbook so we were not able to use this but I have to say that this is a neat way to charge your devices.

4.8A 24W Dual USB Travel Wall Charger

One thing we never seem to have enough of mainly because I am still waiting for my husband to build a charging station for everyone's electronics. I have the design in my head just can't physically build it. So here we are with cord and plugs in every room but no one can find theirs.

The first one that disappears is mine even though I  only charge mine in the car or by my computer but mine goes missing. Yes we know it is one of the kids who takes it but you wouldn't know because they can never find mine or theirs. I think it is like the socks twin going missing they never are to be found again.

I really like this iClever charger because it plugs into the wall and can charge two devices at one time. Now I can charge my iPad and my daughters iPad all at the same time. Saves a little insanity from trying to find a wall charger, at least until this one disappears.  

You can find the iClever charger on Amazon.

Coosh Rapid MFI Certified Car Charger

Now this is my kind of charger the only thing that would make this perfect is if it has a wall plug included in the package. Easy to use and does the job well. I like the coiled wire no more snags and keeps my tech gear close at hand while it is being charged. 

My children are always borrowing my cords and even though we have been careful they still go missing. Since this is the only one with a coil cord I don't think they can get away with it so easily. Time will tell before someone borrows it but until then it is mine all mine.

My favorite part is the light that indicates if your item is charged. I don't have to power on my device or check to see the status on how it is doing. Having a car charger is a must for our on the go family.
