Three under $11 gadgets that make great stocking stuffers.

The Eggheads LED Wobble Nightlight is a very small and handy light. This versatile LED light won't tip over and is activated by a simple tap or a shake. Need to get out of bed late at night. Keep one of these on the nightstand. Just tap it, and it goes on, carry it to the bathroom or any place you have to go. In case you forget to tap it or shake it so goes off, an auto-timer will shut it off after about six minutes. The super bright LED bulbs last for more than 100,000 hours. It’s available in colors and is $7.99 at Bed Bath & Beyond. We may already set off a run on this neat little light because it’s now showing “out of stock online”.

The QuikStand from Nite-ize was designed to eliminate the use of assorted books, coffee mugs, and cereal boxes we use to try to prop up our smartphones and tablets. It’s made with sleek brushed aluminum and sturdy, yet flexible polypropylene. The QuikStand is the size of a credit card and be easily carried in your wallet. But when it’s in use, it can be adjusted to different angles to hold your device securely in either portrait or landscape orientation. The company says it fits smartphones and tablets up to 7" with or without cases. The QuikStand is great for travel. I first used on my flight back from CES in Las Vegas to NYC. I placed it on my snack tray and watched movies I had recorded on my Galaxy S4. It worked perfectly. And it’s priced under $11. Company website:

The Nest is a very clever solution to the problem of tangled and damaged earbud-style headphones. Storing earbuds inside The Nest takes only a few seconds and leaves the earbuds and cable completely protected. The earbuds can then be instantly removed, safe and tangle-free, with a single pull. Another feature is that The Nest is small and flexible so that it fits easily and comfortably inside a pocket, purse, gym bag, etc. It’s made from a single piece of high-quality silicone that’s washable, highly durable, and feels great to the touch. And it’s now available in three colors for about $10.00.
