Spy movies have all the cool gadgets, and power packs disguised as a variety of everyday objects can now be included on that list.
Laser's Lipstick Power Bank ($20) reminds me of Agent 99 from Get Smart and her poison lipstick that was inconspicuously stored in the smallest of places. In pink, blue, green, and gold, this would be fabulous if there was an actual lipstick in there as well. With only 2200mAh capacity, don't expect to fully charge your phone.
A pen that doubles as a power pack combines two highly practical functions in one object. The 15.5cm-long Power Pen ($43) from Firebox has a traditional nib at one end and access to a power pack from the other. With a micro-USB port and a Lightning Connector, the Power Pen serves both Android and Apple devices and comes in black, gold and grey. But with only a tiny 700mAh capacity, it's only good for a little extra juice to take a few more photos or to finish off that important social media post.
The wrist is a handy place for gadgets from smartwatches to Fitbits, and now power packs are muscling in on that territory. The Maze Exclusive Wristband Powerbank Battery Charger 3000mAh is expensive at $105, but it is water resistant, which I guess could be handy if you're ever stuck in the rain wanting to resuscitate your phone. It's chunky looking in a choice of black or blue, but only works for Apple devices.
With its stylish minimalist design, the Sanho HyperJuice Pearl Compact Mirror with Rechargeable Battery Pack ($40) comes in pink, silver or red. About 9cm in diameter, it has a 3000mAh battery that will fully charge most phones and tablets. The LED light ring around the mirror is a nice touch.
