Here are a couple of deals on gadgets that aren’t all that sexy, but provide simple upgrades on the way you might be using your tech today. As someone who’s owned them both, I can say they’re the kind of things that are hard to ditch once you have them.

AmazonFirst up is the TechMatte MagGrip smartphone mount. This little guy slots onto one of the air vents of your car, then uses magnets to keep your phone propped up while you’re driving. It’ll work with all but the thickest of cases. From there, you can check Google Maps, see what song is playing, start a phone call, or do whatever else you need to do while keeping one eye on the road. Simple.

TechMatte’s mount is far from the only one of its kind, but it’s very popular, with a 4.5 rating after 4,730 Amazon reviews. While it was already very cheap, today you can save a couple bucks and bring it down to $5. Just use the code “C3LLYQ2H” at checkout. If you can spare your CD slot, TechMatte has a more secure mount that goes there, too — it’s also discounted today, down to $8 (from $11) with the code “UCX57S9O”.

AmazonSecond, there’s the Anker PowerPort 4. This is a four-port USB wall charger, meaning it lets you refill up to four phones, tablets, headphones, or what have you without having to spread them across multiple outlets. Though it doesn’t support Qualcomm’s Quick Charge tech, it still charges quickly and reliably. It also has foldable prongs, which makes it easy to pack up. Plus it looks nice. On Amazon, it has a 4.9 rating after 1,045 user reviews.

The PowerPort 4 normally goes for $26, but today it’s down to $20 with the codes “QAAUTP8Q” (for the white model) or “MY677LQF” (for the black model). Like the MagGrip, it won’t make for a particularly exciting gift, but it should make your life easier, if only by a little bit.

TechMatte MagGrip Air Vent Car Mount Holder, $4.99 (w/code “C3LLYQ2H”), available at Amazon.
Anker PowerPort 4 Multi-Port USB Charger (White), $19.99 (w/code “QAAUTP8Q”), available at Amazon.
