4. Wireless Headphones<br />
With the newest models of iPhones lacking a headphone<br />
jack, wireless headphones have increased in popularity.<br />
Even if you don’t have the newest phone, that’s not a problem<br />
because these headphones still give you that “no strings<br />
attached” feeling.<br />
1. Polaroid Cameras<br />
Polaroid pictures are not just something Outcast told us to<br />
shake it like, but they are also making a comeback. Snapchats<br />
and Instastories might be quick to post and share, but instant<br />
cameras give us physical copies of our memories immediately.<br />
5. Mix Tapes<br />
We’ve all seen the movies and shows where teens give their<br />
crush a mix tape. Now, we can quickly make and share playlists<br />
on Spotify, but there is something sweet and romantic<br />
about a tangible expression of your feelings. A cassette tape<br />
of songs for your love is a sweet and unique gift – as long as<br />
your honey has a tape player.<br />
2. Record Players<br />
There are a few tech throwbacks that are coming around<br />
again, including the good old record player. Records might<br />
not be the only way to enjoy music now, but music lovers still<br />
adore collecting records old and new. Some might think owning<br />
a record player in the digital age is silly, but record store<br />
owners must certainly be thankful.<br />
6. PopSockets<br />
It’s no doubt that you have seen these little guys on everyone<br />
else’s phone, and it’s easy to understand why. PopSockets are<br />
great to prop up your phone when sitting back and face timing<br />
a friend. They also give you a much better grip to avoid<br />
dropping your phone on your face while you’re in bed presleep<br />
scrolling – don’t worry, we’ve all been there.<br />
7. Clip-On Lenses<br />
If you’re a budding photographer, but can’t lug around a<br />
big fancy camera everywhere, you can get a clip-on lens for<br />
your phone! These lenses are small, compact, and run fairly<br />
cheap!<br />
3. Cute Phone Cases<br />
Everyone wants to keep their cell safe, but mainly in style.<br />
Some of the more trendy patterns include cases that actually<br />
contain real pressed flowers. Faux marble is popular on<br />
everything from clothes to jewelry to even your tech. Some<br />
are glittering with a snow globe effect that makes the back of<br />
your phone almost as mesmerizing as your Instafeed.<br />
8. Ring Lights<br />
If you want to take the perfect selfie, you obviously need the<br />
perfect lighting. Sadly good lighting is not always readily<br />
available – unless you have the right equipment. Ring lights<br />
(similar to the ones your favorite Youtubers use) are now<br />
available as a smart phone attachment.<br />
