I ordered the PowerCore+ 26,800 mAh Power Bank with Charger ('https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MZ61PRW') to extend the life of my 2016 15" MacBook Pro :-)

Anker is love, Anker is life. I think the best deal in the bunch here is the USB Type-C Premium 5-Port 60W USB Wall Charger ('https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01D8C6ULO') mentioned above. It has power delivery for fast charging so it should work well with the new iPhone and iPad models this autumn. Their Lumos smart bulb is also on sale for 30% off: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072PSKWRM with code EUFYBLB2. Has anyone tried those yet? What's nice is that they don't require a hub.
