Let's talk about plugs . . . because they might be boring as heck, but good ones will make your life so much easier. In the spirit of Spring cleaning, we bring you eight options guaranteed to make you wonder how you ever did without them.

Compact and collapsable are just two ways to describe this Pivot Power Mini ($13, originally $25). Unfold and you'll get two grounded outlets and two USB ports — perfect for all your charging needs.

Just one look at the shape of this Pivot Power surge protector ($30), and you know that it's practical and better-looking than all the other options out there.

A USB wall charger ($33) with two ports for fast charging? Sold.

What we love about these rotating outlet and USB ports ($19, originally $25) is that you'll never be struggling to plug in two gadgets at once.

The great thing about the Hug-A-Plug dual outlet adapter ($6) is that its compact design fits flat against the wall, and it gives you twice the sockets to plug your gadget into.

This Socket Pocket ($6) is basically your very own cellphone charging station — so convenient!

Why hasn't anyone thought of this before? PocketPlug case ($70) was made so you never have to deal with a dead phone again.

OK, so this isn't a real outlet, but the fake product ($7, originally $10) is helpful for hiding money and valuables.
