People always ask me what is the best gift for the person who has everything, and I always reply, "Something to carry it in!" And if that person cares at all about fashion, they will appreciate the Helios Lite Backpack ($119.95) from Moshi. The folks at Moshi always deliver stylish, well-designed, well-built products, and as one of the best tech backpacks out there, the Helios is no exception. It's a backpack that doesn't make you look like an extra in Revenge of the Nerds. You could be right at home in the boardroom, the courtroom, or the computer room.

Apple has released a plethora of Apple Watch bands to let users give their Apple Watch a personal touch, but a low-cost option dubbed iPops goes even further. You insert an iPop into one of the holes in your Apple Watch band and have your own Pandora-style bracelet that tells a story. iPops are like emojis that you wear.

You’ve already spent a pretty penny on the Apple Watch, but you want to buy a different wristband too. The sport band that comes with the Apple Watch sport edition is great and easy to put on, but it’s missing the classic, minimalist style I so cherish. Yet, both Apple and third-party watch bands tend to be around $75 on the low-end and can reach over $250: you’ve got to be kidding. That’s why I set out to build a list of beautiful, classy, and/or radical Apple Watch bands you can buy for under $50.

Etsy has made it far easier for small businesses and local craftsman to promote and sell their handmade or vintage goods. The large online store has categories with everything from knitting needles to wedding dresses. But when we’re looking for tech accessories, it’s easy to forget about the website of amazing crafts. Meanwhile, the options available on Etsy are endless and certainly deserve a look. Here’s five gorgeous and/or useful Apple accessories you can only find on Etsy.

I'm a big fan of chargers with integrated Lightning cables and also microUSB, which is why I'm an even bigger fan of myCharge and its Hub line of chargers. Not only do the company's chargers have integrated charging cables but they also have built-in A/C wall prongs. That means one less thing to worry about leaving behind. I travel with the HubMax ($129.99) so I have plenty of power (9000mAh) to charge my iPhone, iPad, and microUSB devices such as my iPad keyboard.
