This Piece of Foam Is the Best Phone Stand (Really)

A bendy phone stand is a surprisingly useful purchase, according to Strategist writer Kat Gillespie. Kat initially bought the Flight Flap to use on flights (technically, that’s what it’s designed for) but has since found that it’s ideal for reading recipes in the kitchen or placing next to a laptop during workdays for an eye-level extra screen. She says, “I’ve even put it next to my yoga mat for lazy bedroom YouTube workouts. Once I’m done, the foam flattens into a discreet rectangle for easy storage. You won’t catch me with a dining-room table that looks like a WeWork.” Already cheap, the Flight Flap is now a third off: $11, down from $16 on Amazon. If your Valentine is a frequent flier, it might be a prudent purchase. If your loved one has different interests, you can read about some more hyper-specific gift recommendations, below.
