On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me... It's that time of year, and we've only got 12 weekdays left before Christmas weekend. Join us each day as we suggest a series of gifts for each price range that only gets more and more lavish as the days go by. The first day starts small with tech gifts priced at a modest $10, perfect for stocking stuffers. We've got cable management accessories, media card readers, travel kits ...and a partridge in a pear tree!
Blue Lounge CableDrop
$9.95
These six pack cable management clips have a peel and stick that adheres to most surfaces and helps wrangles your cords. They come in all sorts of colors - bright, muted, black, and white - fitting right in with whatever style/decor you subscribe to. Oh what fun it is to manage our tangled web of cables.
Rosewill RUC-6181 4 Port USB International Traveling Wall Charger
$9.99 with promo code EMCJHKD25 (ends 12/12)

$10.49 with promo code EMCJHKD35 (okay, $.49 more than $10)
This convenient little device reads 19 different types of memory cards - whether it's CF Type I and II, Microdrive, SD, MMC, SM, MS, MS Pro, yadayada.
Crabble Folding iPhone Stand
$4.99
It's a tiny smartphone stand that fits in your wallet. Unfolds to create a tiny little stand to watch videos on your smartphone hands-free. Works with iPhones as well as other brands.
Tiny USB Car Power Adapter
$7.99
A cheap and simple way to charge your USB tech in your car. Plugs into your cigarette lighter and has a small profile so it doesn't jut out and look ugly / block stuff. Much cheaper than the "name brands" and does the same thing.
Ghost Lamp
$9.99
Who doesn't love Pac Man! Built-in sensors illuminate the ghost automatically when the lights go out. Choose between the blue, yellow, red, or white ghost. Powered by USB, this lamp is about 4" tall.
Scrolling LED Name Badge II
Send your message loud and clear with this scrolling name badge. It holds 6 messages at one time, each message 256 characters long. There are onboard speed and brightness adjustment and it can be programmed without a computer. Comes with battery, badge and magnetic holder.
IKEA FIXA
$4.99
The IKEA FIXA is a pre-packaged collection of clips, binders, and fasteners. As our editor Gregory Han put it, "For the price of a fast food meal, you get an assortment of organizing accessories that make wrangling in wires and cables a whole lot easier, even fun." We don't know about *fun, but definitely more organized and clean.
iDecals
There are tons of decals for your iDevice, why not pick one that commemorates the life of Steve Jobs. He was kind of a big deal, after all.
Donate to a Good Cause
Tis the season of giving and there's nothing more true and good than giving to a good cause. Even if donating at least $5 gives you a chance to win a sweet Knoll Generation chair and more prizes, it's still considered a good deed. :)

Okay, we don't really have a partridge in a pear tree that we'd actually recommend (or is relevant for under $10) but would you imagine Google shows over 3,700 items matching the phrase near us.

Z2 iPod Dock and Wi...
Just want to say I really appreciate when you put the picture of the object next to the description. It makes it easier to look at instead of having to click through the little thumbnails.
@Viscumin: Agreed! :)
It takes so much longer to do but I'm glad it was worth the effort! :)
Totally worth the effort!
Even though it takes "so much longer to do", it should be standard practice for the entire apartment therapy website. Other websites manage to do it just fine. It really does make it easier to read the articles.
I really like the inline photos. Keep it up!
Seriously, the scrolling name badge is hilarious. I've gotta get that for one of my coworkers! hah
