5/5 Stars – “All 6 fans are working properly and seems cool enough (not sure about the difference in the fan settings though if there are any lol). Hopefully it would help my gaming laptop not to overheat 🥵 Aesthetic-wise, it’s also very nice for that “gamer feel” 😂 Thank you! ❤️”
3. Portable Bluetooth Speakers (Drop and Waterproof)
Laptop and cellphone built-in speakers often lack the volume or the sound quality that a decent external speaker can provide. With a good Bluetooth speaker, you can enjoy good quality audio paired with any of your modern day devices.
The sound may not be as good as a pair of high quality wired speakers, but this is still an excellent option that gives you a balance between convenience and sound quality. This particular model is also great for travelers as it’s built for durability, excellent if your SO likes to go on workations.

5. Video Games via Steam Wallet Digital Codes
Steam has one of the most extensive library of games you can find on the internet., ranging from the latest and greatest to Indie games made by small developers. If your husband is a PC gamer, chances are that he at least knows of a few games on steam.
What makes steam cards so appealing is that it also gives your partner the freedom to choose which games he would like to buy with the GC that you give him. You can think of it like a gaming allowance of sorts.
Just be mindful that a typical AAA game (latest and popular games) will likely cost around P2K to P3K. Older games and those that are on sale can go for as low as 30% of the original launch price.
6. Extension Wire - Universal Charger Power Socket
This may not be the most glamorous gift idea, but it is one of the most practical ones out there. Despite it’s simplicity, you can’t beat the functionality of an extension cord that provides you with most of the sockets you’ll ever need for your gadgets.
This is an excellent idea if you want to make sure that you’re giving him something that he’ll likely use day in and day out.
