4. Multipurpose Sandwich Wrap

Oftentimes too many, people who bring sandwiches are noted as environment hazards, especially when their snack has been wrapped with plastic or even paper that adds an extra item to the trash.

2. Energy Saving Mobile Charger

This gift is perfect for everyone who has mobile phones or other stuff that needs recharging on a regular basis. We have to admit that people oftentimes forget to unplug their mobile charger when they charge their devices at night, consuming so much inefficient electricity and increasing the cost of your electric bill.

1. USB Rechargeable Batteries
