Confession time: I have a slight shopping addiction when it comes to techy products. I have always been a little quick to buy things that promise good results (commercials are really persuasive). Nowadays I have much more self control when it comes to shopping. I try to only buy things when I need them, but that doesn’t mean I don’t “oooh” and “ahhh” over trendy new products (HP Sprout, anybody?). Today I thought I would share my favorite tech products for bloggers! Some of these I own in real life and others only in my dreams.
1. Ban.do Pink and Cantaloupe Headphones – Need to tune out chatty neighbors at coffee shops? I love Ban.do’s selection of headphones. These ones are the cutest.
2. Tropical Glam Banana Leaf Print Phone Case – A pretty iPhone case may not be “necessary” for successful blogging, but it definitely makes instagramming, retweeting, and emailing from my phone much more enjoyable. :)
3. Ban.do Back Me Up Heart Mobile Charger – I think I use my phone way too much because it always dies long before the day is over. Ban.do has the best mobile chargers! Putting one of these on my tech wish list for sure.
4. Seagate Backup 2TB Portable External Hard Drive – This is the external hard drive I use and it’s pretty great! Whenever I back up my files, the process is so easy. This thing never runs out of space.
5. Wacom Intuos Pen and Touch Small Tablet – I bought a Wacom tablet three year ago and it’s one of the coolest things I’ve ever purchased. I never liked my handwriting, but practicing with the Wacom tablet allowed me to embrace the messiness and personalize my blog posts in a really fun way.
6. Walnut Flash Drive with Colorblock Detail – Check out these beautiful flash drives from Son of a Sailor! I would love to buy a couple different colors and assign them to different blogs or projects.
9. Transcend P8 15-in-1 USB 2.0 Flash Memory Card Reader – I’ve gone through so many memory card readers (a lot of them break easily) and this is my favorite one yet. I love how small and sturdy it is, and it supports so many different memory cards. Always good to have on hand.
8. Silicone Critter Keyboard Brush – I seriously had no idea keyboard cleaners could be this adorable!
9. Doxie Go Plus Portable Scanner – How amazing is this tiny scanner? Perfect for scanning small images, magazine pages, or hand drawn doodles.
10. Sprout by HP – This looks like the best. thing. ever. Has anyone ever used one? It is basically a 2d/3d scanner. If I had one of these, I would really go crazy with mood boards and collages, and I’d probably scan every flower in sight.
11. Canon EOS 5D Mark III – This is my dream camera, not the one I actually use. Someday I’ll have a full frame DSLR and that will be magical. For now, I shoot on a Canon 7D which is also pretty wonderful and does the job.

YESSS to all of these- I used to use card readers all the time and now I’m finding myself in the market for another one. And I’ve been debating using a wacom tablet for my photography. all great gadgets!

I’m so glad I ended up getting a Wacom tablet! Although they’ve come out with a bunch of new ones, so I’m considering upgrading in the near future.
Valla says
I would love to add the wacom tablet to my workflow and I just recently purchased the Canon 6D it’s also a great full frame as well and the price is awesome too.
Jennifer says
I LOVE the Canon 6d! It came out right after I invested in the 7D and I was so bummed. Such a great one. :)
Liz says
I was just looking for a new mobile charger for my upcoming trip and this one looks functional and is pretty! Thanks for sharing these products!
Jennifer says
No problem! I love when things are both cute and functional. :)
Gina says
What a fun post! All of these gadgets look so fun and I would love to fill a blogging studio full with them! If only I had a real blogging studio and it didn’t just exist in my mind haha! Those USB drives are so cute and I’m loving all the fun details these products have!
Jennifer says
Haha right?! I feel like if I keep talking about my workspace like it’s a true “blogging studio”, it’ll become that rather than just my living room. :)
Giulia says
This is one on my favorite post ever! I love all that concern technology! The mini scanner is so incredible and it’s so strange that I have never seen a thing like this :)
My next technology purchase will be a Wacom tablet, do you think that is a useful product? I’m so insicure if buy it or not

Yes, I’m completely obsessed with my Wacom tablet! I use it all the time. I have the small $100 tablet and it works just fine for me. Wacom is a great company! They also have a good return policy too in case you decide it isn’t quite right.
Maja says
I love all of these – the prettier the equipment, the easier the work :)

Yes! That is always my motto :)
Caitlin Cheevers says
Oh my goodness, so many things I didn’t realize I need! I LOVE the walnut USB Flash Drives, and the keyboard brushes are amazing. Luckily I don’t have a keyboard that needs a brush, so I won’t spend money I don’t have on it. ;)

Aren’t the flash drives great?! And I feel ya about the keyboard brushes. Thankful that I don’t have a keyboard haha.

Hi there!
I am new here and I would like to ask if you or anybody else could help me out on the generel name to the kind of devices/tablets, Wacom makes?
I mean, if you want to look into the market, what do you search for (what do you call the tool)?
Is Wacom the one to recommend, or are there other great options?
What is the difference in the different models from Wacom – anyone?
Thanks a lot ahead;-)
