Nomad may run its fair share of deals on its various phone cases and Apple Watch bands, but we rarely see steep discounts on its fancy, premium multi-chargers. But right now, the second-gen Base One Max is on sale in black or silver for $119 ($51 off) when you use coupon code VERGEB1M on Nomad’s site. The 30 percent discount is good through August 25th at 11:59PM PT.

If you have a MagSafe-compatible iPhone and accompanying accessories like an Apple Watch or a set of AirPods, the Base One Max is a great 3-in-1 home charger that won’t look like an eyesore on your desk or side table. The hefty charger weighs in at 1.7 pounds thanks to its metal and glass slab-style construction, and it can simultaneously fast-charge a compatible Apple Watch while topping up an iPhone at 15W wireless charging speeds — all while charging some AirPods or another pair of earbuds that support wireless charging.

There are cheaper MagSafe-compatible options out there from other brands, but few of them look this sleek and are built this well. Also, many of them do not meet Apple’s official MagSafe certification or the new Qi standard, but rather original Qi, which tops out at slower 7.5W charging speeds on iPhones. And if any family members or other cohabitants use an Android phone, the Base One Max’s flat pad can also wirelessly charge their handset (just without the benefit of the magnets for that perfect alignment every time).

Equipping a student for school, especially campus life, takes more than some composition books and a few No. 2 pencils.

Back-to-school season may have once felt far off, but I regret to inform you that it has arrived in many parts of the US. Thankfully, a new school year also brings new opportunities — along with exciting new gadgets and supplies that can help young academics get their work done. Because, let’s be honest, churning through a flurry of humdrum assignments is always more enjoyable with a spiffy new pen, notepad, or gadget.

With that in mind, we at The Verge have pooled together a list of gift ideas for the student in your life. Some are pretty conventional, like a spiral notebook or a book light, only they’re a bit nicer than your average supermarket fodder. Others, like Philips Hue’s colorful LED strip and League of Lexicon, allow students to personalize their space, settle into campus life, and unwind after a stressful week of 8AM classes (because those always seem like a good idea at first).

Hopefully, these recommendations get the kids as excited about the start of school as you are to see them get out of the house.
