Here at Parade.com, we're all about sharing products we love with our audience. When you make a purchase on an item seen on this page, we may earn a commission, however all picks are independently chosen unless otherwise mentioned.

Steel Band for Apple Watch ($200 at Nomad)

You really can’t go wrong with any Apple Watch band from Nomad, but that’s especially true for the Steel Band in either silver or graphite. As the name suggests it’s crafted from 316L Stainless Steel which Nomad tops with a proprietary diamond-like carbon coating—this ensures it won’t scratch easily and even carries a bit of a shine. It fits all models of the Apple Watch, just be sure to match the right screen size. Even neater though is the magnetic closing mechanism which ensures a comfortable fit on your wrist.

Sport Band for Apple Watch ($60 at Nomad)

If you’re shopping for someone who is constantly on the move or just loves to get in a good workout, we’d consider Nomad’s Sport Bands. These are a bit more affordable at $60 and come in eight fun colors. The Sport Band is built from an FKM fluoroelastomer rubber with strategically placed ventilation cutouts to let you wrist breath. It’s ready for nearly any activity with 100% waterproofing as well.

Desk Mat ($180 at Nomad)

Nomad is known for its leather goods and one of the more recent entries into its product portfolio is a Desk Mat. So whether they work from home or want the snazziest desk in the office, this Desk Mat simply gets laid on top of a desk and provides an instantly elegant upgrade. It’s made from a Heinen leather with waterproof that has silicone grips on the back to ensure that it doesn’t slide around.

Modern Leather Case for AirPods Pro ($40 at Nomad)

If they’ve already opted for the latest generation of AirPods Pro, they’re off to the races. But you can elevate that experience with a leather case to protect them. It will protect the white plastic case for any potential miscoloring, and of course, dreaded dings or scratches. Since it is crafted from Horween Leather it will patina with time for a custom look.

65-Watt Power Adapter ($65 at Nomad)

A good wall plug is essentially for being able to use a plethora of gadgets, and Nomad’s 65-watt option is pure-charging-bliss. This compact plus features two USB-C ports and pushes out up to 65-watts of power to charge everything from earbuds to a laptop with a phone or a Nintendo Switch in between. It’s powered by GaN (Gallium Nitride) technology to keep it cool under those fast charges.

Lightning Cable USB-C with Kevlar ($45 at Nomad)

Sure your iPhone or iPad comes with a Lightning cable in the box, but they’ve been known to fray and crack under pressure. Nomad’s strongest and toughest cable has a layer of Kevlar wrapping around to let it stand up to nearly anything. It’s the ultimate gift for the rugged person.

Modern Leather Case ($70 at Nomad)

We’d be remiss to not include a leather iPhone case from Nomad and it would also be a disservice to you. Nomad’s Modern Leather Case for iPhone 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro, and 14 Pro Max (as well as the 13 and 12) is crafted from Horween Leather and perfectly matches the Apple smartphone. It will patina over time and that means it will age gracefully with a custom look.

Base One Max ($160 at Nomad)

For a nightstand or a desk, and for someone who has an iPhone and an Apple Watch we present the Base One Max. It’s an ideal option for a sleek, beautifully crafted charge that takes the guesswork out of keeping your devices ready to go. Simply snap or place your iPhone onto the MagSafe charger and the Apple Watch on to the charging disc, and you’re done. It comes in carbine or silver and is made from glass, metal, and aluminum.
