Show of hands: How often do you find yourself just halfway through your day, frantically searching for an available wall socket to charge your phone? It’s become a way of life—and a certain kind of stress that seems like a necessary evil. But really, it’s not.

You can save yourself the panic and the cortisol flood if you just have a power bank. That sounds like a large object, but it’s not. It’s not much bigger than a phone, but it’s loaded with juice and can power your laptop, tablet, phone—whatever you desperately need to keep awake and alive.

HSN has a sale right now on a great set of power banks from IdeaPlay. With this sale you get three power banks for $40 (or five interest-free payments of $8)—down from the regular price of $50. Plus, if you’re new to HSN you’ll get $20 off your first order with code HSN2020.

“These things really work,” says one of many five-star reviewers. “They hold a charge and really charge my phone fast. I keep one in the car, one in the house and I gave one to my brother. You won't be sorry if you get these—and they look nice as well.”

For the uninitiated, this is not your grandpa’s device charger. A fully charged IdeaPlay Power Bank can provide a midday pick-me-up for your laptop or a full-on resurrection of your tablet, cell, or earbuds. How does it work? You charge the power bank over night, then drop it in your bag, and go. Later, when you’re running around and your iPhone starts to fade, just plug it into the power bank. The phone will be it fully recharged in minutes.

You can actually charge two phones at the same time, thanks to the Power Bank’s dual output ports. And IdeaPlay works with all phones. The charging cord is fitted with three plugs: one for Android phones, one for iPhones, and a multi-use USB. Watch the digital readout to track charging progress. When you see “100,” you’re golden.

“I love the digital countdown feature. I also love the multi-use plug!” says another five-star fan. “Can charge all current devices now, even charge a friend or coworker device. I purchased several for gifts and kept one for myself. Such a useful and relevant product this year. Great job!”

All together, there are nine color options available—three in each set. (Photo: HSN)

A power bank is a lifesaver at the airport (when we get back to traveling), at a restaurant (same), and anywhere else an outlet may not be available. To keep your family from fighting over power banks, get a range of colors (no confusion over whose is whose). The Power Bank 3-pack is available in three schemes: Lilac Tie Dye (pinks and purples), Terrazzo (blues and greens), and Multicolor Geo (bright red and turquoise).

Each of the three power banks comes in its own box. So, keep one, and gift two. Spread the love. Or maybe keep two (one for that comfy chair that’s so far from the outlets—it’s a pandemic and we all need a little spoiling). In any case, there’s literally no gift we can think of that would appeal to more people—coworkers, kids, nieces and nephews. It’s universal.

This is a special deal. You know you’re going to kick yourself if you miss it and end up scrambling for last-minute gifts (that are likely inferior and more expensive). Take advantage: $40 (or five payments of $8) for three great gifts. Then you can relax, rest, and recharge—the holidays are almost here.
