Instant Pot/Keurig/TessanBuying gifts for someone with limited space at home can be tricky. This list combines a few useful items like organizational tools with fun little things they won’t stress about storing.
A Power “Tower” Hub
Typically a small living space also means fewer outlets (and far too many outlets blocked by furniture). This power hub turns a single outlet into 8 AC outlets with 4 USB ports.
Each outlet is spaced to fit even large plug-ins (looking at you, MacBook owners) and it features a surge protector for safety. And, on top of all that, it has a 10-foot cord, which means it’ll finally make that hidden outlet behind the couch useful. It’s a functional gift that they’re sure to appreciate.
Power Strip Tower TESSAN Surge Protector 8 AC Outlets with 4 USB Ports Charging Station Long Extension Cord 10 Feet, Widely Spaced Multi Outlets, Circuit Breaker Safeguard for Home Office Dorm Room
This power hub transforms a single outlet into 12 power sources.

A Google Chromecast
You might think we’re recommending the Chromecast because it’s super tiny and fits right behind your TV, out of sight and out of mind, all while turning your TV into a smart TV with the addition of streaming features. That’s only part of it though.
Sure Netflix at your fingertips is great, but lots of compact streaming devices can do that. One of the coolest small-space benefits of the Chromecast is the ability to turn your TV into a giant digital picture frame. For people who can’t put up many photos—either because they simply lack for the wall space or don’t want a hassle from their landlord if they but a bajillion holes in the walls—the Chromecast makes it dead simple to enjoy a constantly updated stream of personal photos, stunning pictures from around the world and more.
