Powermat is the BEST present for the person who has everything

Do you have one person on your list who has everything? The type of person who, if they don't have it, they go out and buy it for themselves the month before Christmas or their birthday leaving you with NO good gift ideas for them? (Special note to my brother, JP - you can stop reading right about now. Go on, click on a different post, check your email, blah blah, blah.)

My brother the gadget guy

My dad used to be this person. With his passing, my brother seems to have assumed the roll. He is always in line to get the newest iGadget. And, whatever gadget he doesn't have, he buys for himself! His little 4-person family alone has 3 iPhones, 2 iPods, and 1 iPod Touch. That's 6 devices...that I know of! I'm guessing there are a few lying around his office collecting dust bunnies.

This is an electronic family for sure. 

But what they DON'T have is a way to charge all of their technology!

Powermat A Great Gift that Saves Charging Space

I received the Powermat 2x Portable Wireless charger to review and now I know what I'm getting my brother for Christmas! His family NEEDS this, and I know for sure he doesn't have one yet and has no plans to buy one...score!

Powermat 2X Portable Wireless Charger

More than that, Powermat will save them space and electricity. Powermat can charge multiple devices wirelessly and knows when they are fully charged so it can cut power. Simply place the device with either the appropriate receiver or universal cube attachment onto the Powermat and it starts charging.

For items with a Powermat receiver (sold separately based on your device) you will feel a little 'handshake' to know it's charging. For items using the Powercube (universal cube with tips to fit hundreds of devices including phones, PSP, Nintendo DS, etc) you'll see a light go on. What's great about the Powermat I received is that it has a rechargable battery so you can take it with you and continue to charge even if there is no outlet around!

How's that for a gift for the person who has everything?

I think I nailed it.

Happy shopping! Have you found a great gift for the person who has (or buys themselves) everything?

Disclosure: I received a Powermat 2X charger and two receivers for the purpose of this review. All opinions are my own and I really am going to give one of these to my brother so JP, if you are still reading, Merry Christmas! This post was neither reviewed nor approved prior to being published.

Powermat recharges the whole family

Here's a little device that comes in a nice and tidy package and that the whole family can enjoy.

It's a little mat that recharges cell phones, handheld games, and more without all the wires.

It's portable. It works with just about any device. It's called Powermat.

This is how it looks folded up:

You plug in the powermat, add a receiver to your device, place the device on the mat, and it will bluurp to let you know it's charging. You don't have to plug in your phone, just place it on the mat!

You can charge multiple items at the same time with only one wire plugged in. Neat, clean, tidy.

And cool.

Powermat makes a little blruuuup noise to let you know items are charging and you feel a slight magnetic pull.

You can purchase a receiver for your phone or use a power cube with the appropriate tip (one of the white cubes you see in the picture is the power cube and the other holds the tips used to connect the cube to your device). Either way it's easy and you don't have wires all over the place.

I received the portable Powermat at the Getting Gorgeous event at Blogher and have used it to charge my phone and the Twofer's Nintendo DS machines. I'm thinking this would make a great gift for my brother who has 3 iPhones and 3 iPods in his house. I'm sure many of you can relate.
