Nowadays we need power and USB ports more than ever, especially with the plethora of gadgets that need to be constantly charged. Although many hotels have caught on, installing USB outlets in their walls, for the most part, our homes haven’t. We still need to have a plug-in with a USB-friendly outlet.

Detroit-based lifestyle brand Shinola came up with an unlikely pairing with General Electric to celebrate the American brand’s 125 years of innovation. GE has a legacy of creating inventions that somehow make our lives a little bit brighter. Together, the young American heritage label and the old, created something that both people of all ages will appreciate. The Shinola X GE collection consists of a series of wall clocks and power accessories that we all can use. Plus, everything is made in the United States

The power accessories are die cast in zinc with a powder finish. The 2-port power cord echoes Shinola’s famed bicycles, as well as the layered construction that makes up Shinola watches. The durable cord is also strong enough to withstand regular wear and tear. There’s also a 5-port version and an extension cord, just to make sure you have all your bases covered. Plus they come in three colorways: black, orange and white.

Shinola X GE also created the Runwell wall clock, which is inspired by the very first watch the label made in Detroit. Raised numerals, luminous hands and the matte dial are enclosed in a polished chrome case beneath raised glass.

So next time you’re in need of USB port, get the Shinola X GE power accessories. They look good, do everything you need, and are made in the good old United States of America. How is that for being two true American brands?

Disney is arguably the most iconic entertainment brand in the world. The company's properties, both original and acquired, combine to produce content that transcends age demographics. Disney has built a brand that's beloved by children, and those children eventually age into adults who introduce their kids to the films they loved when they were young. Disney's animation alone has made it iconic, but in recent years, the company has also acquired some of the biggest pieces of intellectual property there are. And, with Disney Plus available on any device, you can watch all these movies whenever you want.

Between its acquisitions of both Marvel and Star Wars, there's a good chance that whatever you love is being shepherded to screens both large and small by Disney. When they launched Disney+, the company was sure to fill it with both those nostalgic animated classics and plenty of new stuff as well. It's meant to be a streaming service for all ages, which is why the selection of movies available there is so diverse. These Disney Plus movies will make you laugh and cry and leave you eager for a rewatch. Here's a look at the best movies on Disney Plus.
