Yesterday I went shopping at two of my favorite stores; Ikea and Five Below! If you have ever shopped at either of these stores, you may already know that they are a great place to find the most random accessories for a great price and yesterday, that is what I found.

First, Ikea. They have a new section called Ikea Family where they include a collection of travel accessories like bags, briefcases, backpacks and luggage that are a sturdy quality for a low price. Browsing the area I found an assortment of travel bags at various sizes and colors, so I picked up this hot pink little travel zip bag from the Upptacka series that was only $3.99 ($3.19 with my Ikea Family card). I think this will be a great tech accessory bag for all my chords, cables, chargers and small peripherals while I travel this summer for mini vacays and getaways!

Next, I made my way to Five Below. I consider this store a Mecca for random tech accessories like cases, extra cables, sleeves and an array of other useful items that compliment my MacBook, iPad, iPods, and Blackberry. Best part is, I find something different every time I go to the store. This trip, I found a very cute neoprene iPad case for summer in navy blue and white chevron/zebra print with a hot pink lining. This case even has a separate front zippered compartment for extras which I found very cool for just $5.00!

Now, I don’t just browse the tech area when I go to this store because useful items can be hiding at any corner, and I found my next set of items in the tween clothing section. These cute bags are actually bikini bags for you to store your wet swimsuit after you have changed out of it, but practically, they are a cute waterproof clutch. So, I picked up three; one for me, my mom and my sister (mine is the nerdy owl on top)! These bags are a great size that can fit an iPad, iPod, ebook reader, or any other tech item you may need at the beach or by the pool, as well as your keys, cash, and ID. Plus, they come in an infinite variety of cute styles for just $5.00 each!
