The mail equivalent of a vacuum cleaner. I know you don’t want to get tossed in the dog house but guys really don’t care about that stuff. They would probably like this better than a new tie anyway. Since surge protectors are such a person thing I give you a choice if 3. ;-) These can be really helpful when sitting in an airport or at a hotel room when you need to plug in your phone, computer, ipod, camera, etc… Both the Belkin and the Kensinton have the edition of USB plugs so you can also charge your phone or ipod with out taking and additional plug or having to lug along another charger.

1st up is the Monster Outlets to go. Nice small form factor available in black or white and from 3 to 6 plugs.

Number 2 is the Kensington Portable with 2 USB ports. I like this one because it has a short cord in case you have to use the plug behind a desk or bed.

Number 3 is the Belkin Mini surge. Not as small as it looks but still quite useful. Plugs straight into the wall but does have a rotating plug so you can use in the vertical or horizontal position.

It should come in handy at the next airport/hotel/whatever outlet deficient location I stumble upon. Outlets to Go 3 provides safe charging for up to three devices, and prevents overloads with its resettable circuit breaker. Available in 3 sizes the Outlets to Go give you a nice small outlet strip that easily fits in your bag. About $11 on Amazon.
