The Kwilt Shoebox Plus just made storing your personal memories even better

NEWS – A few days ago, I tested and reviewed the Kwilt Shoebox. This little device connects to your network via wifi and is controlled via an Android or iOS app. It allows you to transfer all of the photos and video from your Smartphone or tablet to local storage across your network. The Kwilt has a USB port where you can add a flash drive or a USB hub with multiple drives to create virtually unlimited storage. Once your files are transferred, you have the option to either keep the original files on your mobile device or to delete them. The beauty about deleting them is that the Kwilt Shoebox allows you to access your stored files from anywhere at any time via the app. You can also add pictures and videos that were never on your device to the storage attached to the Kwilt, and you can access them via your phone/tablet as well.

I absolutely love the Kwilt Shoebox, albeit that I would prefer if it has a built-in Ethernet port to provide a more reliable connection, and the ability to add multiple drives without having to buy a hub to do so.

I guess the folks at Kwilt must be reading my mind because they just announced the Kwilt Shoebox Plus. This updated version of the shoebox had a built-in Ethernet port, 4 USB data ports for adding storage and still keeps the HDMI port and all of the original functionality.

If you are as interested in the Kwilt Shoebox Plus as I am, you can purchase one for $119 on Amazon or from the Kwilt website.

Control this smart aromatherapy diffuser with the sound of your voice

NEWS – The Gadgeteer has told you about aromatherapy diffusers before, but this is the first smart diffuser we’ve seen. The Smart WiFi Essential Oil Aromatherapy Diffuser can be used as a normal diffuser, or you can download its app and control features like LED color, mist intensity, or set timers or schedules from your phone. It’s also compatible with Google Home and Amazon’s Alexa, so you can also control it with vocal commands.

The diffuser has a 400ml water reservoir that’s sufficient for about 12 hours of continuous mist. Instead of heat, this diffuser uses ultrasonic frequencies to vaporize water and the essential oils, so there’s no worry that the heat will damage the oils.

The Smart WiFi Essential Oil Aromatherapy Diffuser is $36.95 at Amazon.

Carry a few pens in this attachable pen case

NEWS – Most pen cases that fit over a notebook seem to hold only one pen. That’s fine for some, but other folks may like to color-code entries and need a couple ink colors at hand. Instead of needing to buy multiple pen holders to carry those pens, get the Smiley Attachable Pen Case and keep everything in one case.

The Smiley case is made of synthetic leather. It’s attached to an elastic band that fits over a notebook or journal cover; it’s for use with hardcovers only. The height of the notebook should be between 7.75 – 10.25 inches for best fit. The case itself measures 1.5″ x 7.6″ x 0.33″ and weighs 0.8 ounce. It fits 3-4 pencils or pens. It is not designed for long writing implements; your pens should be no longer than 5.9″, so it unfortunately won’t work with the Apple Pencil.

The Smiley Attachable Pen Case is available in the eight colors shown above. It is $11.01 at MochiThings.
