While I think everything we write about here on Cool Mom Tech is…well, cool, every so often we find something that so perfectly fills my wants and needs that I’d swear it was made just for me.

The Photojojo bamboo solar charger is one of those perfect picks. It uses the sun to charge any gadget with a USB connector, and the charger is housed in a gorgeous, sustainable bamboo case. So smart, and so eco-friendly too.

I’m already thinking about a bunch of ways I can use it: Skiing, camping, biking, and time at the beach and pool are all prime-time picture-taking opportunities, and all times when my phone battery runs low. This charger can even help keep me safely connected during an all-day hike up and down the peaks.

How often do we get to cite safety as a valid reason for such a seemingly indulgent purchase? Love it. –Julie
