Anker USB-C to USB-C Cable (3 ft / 6 ft, 240W, Upcycled-Braided)
There's always one person who borrows your charger and somehow never gives it back. This braided Anker USB-C cable can be theirs instead. It's rated at 240W and fast-charges laptops and phones alike, so the same cord handles a dorm desk and a nightstand.
The braid has a soft-touch feel, and it stores without knots, so it comes out of a drawer or backpack ready to plug in instead of tangled. Pick from 3-foot and 6-foot lengths: shorter for a tidy desk, longer for reaching a bed from that one awkward outlet.
Free to start. They get a beautiful gift page and pick their own shipping address.
Who it’s for
Why it makes a good gift
Send it just because, the week someone moves into a dorm or a first apartment and their cords are still buried in an unlabeled box.
It's also a playful, affectionate gift for the partner, sibling or roommate who keeps walking off with yours. Few gifts make the point so kindly.
Want to round it out? The Anker Nano Charger (35W, Built-In Retractable USB-C Cable) is a compact charger with a cord that can't be left behind. For long drives home on school breaks, the Anker 323 Car Charger fast-charges a phone and a second device at once.

Questions, answered
Which length should I pick?
It comes in 3 ft and 6 ft. The shorter one keeps a desk neat, and the longer one helps when the outlet is across the room from the bed or couch.
Will it charge a laptop as well as a phone?
Yes. It's a 240W USB-C cable that fast-charges both laptops and phones.
Does it make a good back-to-school gift?
It's a handy one. Students tend to lose or lend cables, and a braided cord that stores without knots travels well in a backpack.
Can I send it to a student without knowing their dorm address?
Yes. Text or email the gift with your note, and they fill in where it should go, whether that's campus or home.
