Cables stay put with magnetic buttons, and the base’s reusable adhesive lets you switch it around as much as you want—move it, love it, and leave no regrets.

3. Glase, AirPods (4th Gen) Case
The gamble about getting cases of any type, including AirPods cases, is that you might risk getting something too tacky for the recipient’s taste (in their opinion, anyway). But that’s off the table with Glase—a crystal-clear option that comes clean and free of designs or color, almost as if your AirPods have gone bare. How do you know the difference? It’s protective and comes with a carabiner, reducing the risk of tumbles and the damage sustained from them altogether.

4. Eleva, iPhone Case with Kickstand
Got a tight-knit family of iPhone users? Nothing could be more fitting than gifting a set of Elevas, which makes future long-distance calls as easy as 1-2-3. This sleek yet stylish phone case unfolds to reveal an aluminum stand, offering a fine upgrade that, literally, holds up over time. And the rest of the phone isn’t left defenseless— it boasts features like a scratch-resistant back, raised corners, and a lens bezel for extra protection. Best of all? Low battery won’t stop anyone from making the weekly scheduled call, supporting wireless charging with a compatible surface.
