These discs are called NFC tags. Believe it or not, they can be programmed with your smartphone to automate things you do, or want to do.

A bag of 50 tags are under $15.

Missing the old Blackberry? Clicks is an iPhone case that adds a keyboard. Or these foldable smartphone keyboards that connect over Bluetooth. These are great for tapping out long emails on a phone. They’re under $40 now.

Even people who hate protruding pop sockets will like the Oh Snap! Phone holders. These are ultra-thin when folded but provides a nice grip when it’s extended. They’re magnetic so you can move them from case to case.

Attach one to a phone without Qi Charging, like this Samsung phone, and you can charge on any magnetic charger.

And a TikTok favorite, these rings allow you to scroll through clips, Insta reels, or a book by sliding your finger. These are great for people who like to scroll or read while walking on a treadmill.
