Charging stations, meet your king. The Blu Dot Juice Box Digital Dock is the Mercedes of charging stations. Blu Dot, for the uninitiated, is a high-end line of minimalist furniture with style to spare. They've brought the same flair to their first charging station, one that takes my breath right out of my mouth. There is that price — $129 — which is a drawback, but it's still cheaper than Read more

Just enter the code BLUDOT15 at checkout to get the discount. I'd never really considered Blu Dot much before for my own home; as a whole, their designs are more modern and bare than the things I tend to gravitate towards. But there are Read more
