This one is aimed at world travelers. I’ve heard countless stories of people who went from the States to Europe (or the other way around), only to remember – too late – that they need an adapter for their laptop. Trying to find an electronics store in a foreign country, where you might not even know the language, is not really fun. The lesson here: be prepared.

This adapter has slide-out plugs which work in more than 150 countries, so you should be covered. It has a safety release button and a built-in fuse, but be careful how you use it, as it does not reduce or convert electrical voltage. Plus it’s small, so you don’t have to worry about how to fit it in your suitcase.

How much under $29.99?
A little: $21.38 on Amazon.com.
