Dealing with a multitude of charging cables for my various gadgets has always been a headache for me. From my laptop to my phone, headphones, Apple Watch, and even an Android tablet, my bedside table is often a tangled mess of wires resembling a snake pit.
Using all these devices daily means that by the end of the day, they are usually begging for a recharge. Unfortunately, I often forget to plug them in, resulting in a silent morning gym session and my iPhone 16 Pro barely holding on at 13% battery as I start my day. While Apple’s move to USB-C has helped streamline things by eliminating the need for different cables for my Android devices, the clutter still bothers me.

I realized I needed a wireless charging stand that could hold all my devices in one place, allowing me to rest easy. However, considering my frequent office visits, holidays, business trips, and family gatherings, the product I chose had to be travel-friendly to avoid duplicating purchases.
The perfect solution for me, one that I now can’t imagine traveling without, is Anker’s 3-in-1 MagGo Wireless Charging Station.
This charging station features dedicated spaces for my Apple Watch, phone (including MagSafe), and a horizontal pad that accommodates my headphones or a second phone. Measuring just 13mm thick and weighing a mere 340g (about the weight of a tin of soup), I can keep it by my bedside at home and easily slip it into my backpack when on the go.
The pad supports fast-charging at 15W, allowing my iPhone to reach 20% battery in just half an hour. The dock for the phone and watch can be folded up to use the station as a vertical display or an alarm clock, and then easily snapped down for travel. The pad is powered by a single USB-C cable, the same one I use for my tablet and laptop throughout the day.
Anker is currently offering the charging pad for £89.99, a price I consider to be a great deal. This is the type of gadget that quickly becomes indispensable – and looking back, I wonder why I waited so long to get it.
