Since Christmas is just a little over a week away, you need to start thinking about presents for your friends and family. If you ran out of good of ideas, here you will find several really cool gadgets that everyone who owns MacBook or iMac will surely appreciate. I will admit from the the very beginning that these aren't really budget gifts, but when it comes to Apple-made products, nothing is actually cheap, so you're going to have to decide for yourself if it's worth it or not.

One of the coolest things you can get for those who own Apple-made laptops is the Line Dock. This ultra thin power bank offers up to 15 hours of autonomy, can charge multiple devices at the same time and provides both wired (USB-C) as well as wireless charging capabilities. Its retail price will be $349, but you can get it a lot cheaper by preordering from the product's Indiegogo page. Unfortunately, Line Dock will start shipping out in June next year.

The drawer is big enough to fit your tablet, smartphone, notes, etc., so it's actually quite useful. I found it on a website galled GadgetShopping and it costs $89.95
