Why I love my Universal Charging Station

January 26, 2011

Remember our secret compartment for charging station & storage  on top of TD’s shoe cabinet in our hallway console? For Christmas I gave TD a universal charging station that fit in perfectly ! Here’s a picture of it in action!

In fact, this BlueLounge product has won several international design awards. It’s not only functional (can charge up to 1500 different gadgets) but it also looks aesthetic! TD absolutely loved it and it was definitely worth the price for me.

We realized while we were on vacation recently in Lombok Island near Gili Islands, of Eat Pray Love fame, that we should be bringing this charger instead of all our chargers for our Blackberries, iPhone, cameras, etc. which actually take up more space and weigh more.

The thing that we didn’t think about when packing then was that in hotel rooms there is usually only 1 or 2 sockets. It became so tedious to take turns charging the many gadgets we had! With The Sanctuary you only need one power socket and you can charge several gadgets at the same time!

Next time we go on a trip we will definitely be bringing The Sanctuary instead of so many chargers!

    Beautiful! Do you have photos from the trip to Lombok? I would love to see them! I haven’t been to Bali yet! I know, shame… I also like Akasara. They have so many neat and cool stuff, but I usually end up just window shopping.

      I have yet to post pics of Lombok. I am terrible when it comes to posting trip pictures. In fact I still have several trips I have yet to post about 2 Bali, 2 Borobodur, 1 KL, etc. I get so overwhelmed by the thousands of pics I have I end up not posting on them. Eeeeep! So much backlog! Will post soon though!

      I love the books they have too and usually buy on sale! But it’s my favorite shop and hubby cheers me up sometimes and allows me to buy something from there as a treat hehe!
