Since we've always loved supporting indie makers and small brands, the entire Small Business Saturday effort, and cool tech...well, how awesome that it all comes together today! If you're supporting the #ShopSmall effort, here are some o…

Since we first featured the wooden iPhone baby teethers at 3Princesses Store on Etsy a few years ago (has it really been that long?), they've added a whole slew of cool geeky baby gifts that just so happen to be super affordable too. As …

At first glance, the gorgeous handmade Avakai dolls look like heirloom dolls my kids would love to play with all on their own But hidden inside these matryoshka-inspired Waldorf dolls is some very cool tech that will spark creative play …

I have a thing for simple, smart design, which is probably why I'm such an Apple fan. It's also why I love so many of the Apple accessories designed with the same sensibility. So all it took was the silhouette of this Ray Tablet Stand ha…

I feel like everyone around me has the new iPhone 6, while I'm stuck using my little iPhone 5S. Man, it seems so small! If you're like what seems like all of my friends and are sporting a fancy new phone (lucky you!), here are some cool …

I always find great new makers and brands among the Martha Stewart American Made finalists , but they tend to be more about handmade home decor, accessories, stationery--pretty much anything other than technology. So I was really happy t…

If like me, your desk is starting to become a tangle of devices and cords and accessories, you'll get the genius of the iSkelter SlatePro Personal Tech Desk right away. Especially now that it's on sale. Handmade in Arizona from premium b…

The first thing I said after carefully freeing my new iPhone 6 out of its white box was: I'm going to need a case for this. Moving up from a 4s, I'm still getting used to this larger version. Making things slightly trickier is the slippe…

Update: It seems a future proof charging dock wasn't future proof after all; now you can check out the Dual Charging Dock for iPhone and Apple Watch if you like the look of DODOCase. So we're already fans of DODOCase (the mere mention ge…

When I can manage to wrestle my iPad out of my children's hands (shaking my fist at you, Minecraft), it is often because I need it as my cookbook. While I've liked products like the iPad cutting board for propping up the tablet right whe…

Since I'm (almost) ready to trade in my beloved childhood kitchen table (what, it's vintage now!) which is being used as a totally inappropriate home office desk I've been looking around. And when I saw the gorgeous wooden desks from the…

If your baby is anything like mine was, her favorite toys were gadgets I actually needed and used quite frequently. You know...like keys. Or the remote control. Not exactly stuff you want in your kid's mouth. And that's why I'm doing you…

Remember back when Ataris, station wagons, telephones, and all machines of power and taste included sexy strips of wood? We've covered (heh) wood veneers for iPads and other gadgets , and now we've got just the bling for your gaming cons…

I love the juxtaposition of high and low tech that comes with wood tech accessories and wooden gadget covers . But this wooden bluetooth keyboard takes the cake. Made to order from a single piece of maple or walnut, the Oree Board from O…

By far, the toys that my kids have gotten the most mileage out of are the ones they use for pretend play. Their active imaginations are ageless, and as you start thinking holiday gifts, consider that it doesn't necessarily take a real te…

So as it turns out, it's not a good idea to give a small child your old tech to play with. Once we learned how many toxic components and metals were in those remote controls, cell phones and cameras, we've retrieved the outdated gadgets …

There are some tech gadgets you need, some tech gadgets you want but don't need, and then some tech gadgets you never realized you needed until you saw them and went ooohhh... I'm looking at these beautifully designed wooden USB caps in …

Power strips have come a long way in the last few years. We're finding more and more that are stylish and pretty, or like these, almost invisible. The Invisiplug is a regular old power strip with a realistic wood grain pattern (not real …

The Apple doesn't fall far from the tree with this natural wood keyboard for your Mac. Wood you try it? (Heh) Our inner geek is definitely piqued by this wooden MacBook Pro keyboard from RAWBKNY. Available in Bamboo or Rosewood, each pie…

Sometimes the simplest tech ideas are the very best. Take for example these Stems laptop stands . Looking more like a pair of chopsticks than somethng you'd find at the Apple store, these handcrafted wooden stands hail from Brooklyn's Va…

Go on and hate me: I received a new iPad Mini for Christmas. But it looks so naked and fragile, just sitting there. So I've been scouring Etsy for the perfect handmade case, and whether you like feminine and pretty or sleek and solid, tu…

I am not the only person who has wished that there were mini LoJaks to put on pretty much everything I own--mainly 5 minutes after I'm supposed to be somewhere and still can't find my cell phone or my sunglasses. So when I saw this brill…

I've seen and own a bunch of amazing wireless speakers . However, most of them require some sort of battery or plug to work. That's not the case with my most recent find that uses basic physics to amplify the sounds coming from your iPho…

It's no secret that I'm completely obsessed with the Instagram app , but now my kids can get in the action with this amazing new wooden toy I discovered. Anagram is an Instagram-inspired kids' play camera made from sustainable wood and c…
