Top 3 Gadgets Martin Can't Go Without

We’ve all been working from home for a while now.  

Whilst for most businesses and people, it was a mad rush to get everyone set up to work remotely. In many ways this wasn’t done as well as most would have liked. A big part of this is due to the shortage we have of technology and office equipment, due to stock shortages to begin with and then people panic buying when all the craziness started. By the way, if anyone tracks down any webcams, be sure to let us know! Even office chairs are hard to come by!  

Even so, with what we have, we would all have quickly learned to love some of our tech and gadgets.

I also love my $30 Aldi selfie ring light and phone holder. This gets used to record my video content, provide me with better light in video calls, and it also doubles as a desk lamp.  

Then there’s my $20 Aldi Bluetooth selfie stick for shooting videos on the go.  

Lastly, our trusty Dyson heater which turns on every morning to ensure the chilly mornings are nice and toasty.
