In the midst of all the “Back-to-School” buzz going on, there are quite a few tech tools and gadgets catching our attention (and wallets). And some of them are not just for the tech-savvy high-school or college student, but can actually be a nice addition to your work and lifestyle gadget collection.
Not being a techie myself, I’m not into collecting tech gadgets (or setting up a tent outside Apple all night waiting for the next iPhone generation). Yet, I have to say some tools are definitely worth their investment weight in added efficiency, lessened headaches and even some added fun in the process.
Here are my corporate-sister, mommy-approved picks for back-to-school tech gadgets every professional can also use, even if we’re not heading to school or college this year:

Beddi Alarm Clock
For all those out there (like yours truly) who have trouble getting ejected smoothly transitioning out of the bed, this intelligent Beddi alarm clock may just be your new “thang”. It integrates Spotify to allow you to wake up to your favorite Beyonce, or Mozart tune; allows you to gradually wake up to natural light, and you can even directly call Uber with it when your car decides not to start… Price: $99
Fossil Q Wander Smartwatch
Consider this the stylish alternative to the Fitbit! This Fossil Q Wander Smartwatch from Fossil in this flattering rose-gold tone tracks your steps, counts your calories, and lets you know when you receive texts, calls and app updates. A tiny LED flashlight is even built into it so you can find your keys in your messy full tote bag. Price: $315

Plantronics BackBeat GO 3 Wireless Earbuds
I love a good, sturdy pair of earbuds when listening to podcasts or music at work, or even tuning in to the latest work training on my laptop. These Plantronics BackBeat GO 3 wireless earbuds not only connect to your smartphone, but also to your laptop or tablet. And one charge lasts you over six hours. You can buy these without the charging case, but I’d recommend investing the extra $30 for peace of mind! Price: $129.99

HP Deskjet 3755 All-In-One Printer
This super-slim and efficient printer will save space on your work shelves, while allowing you to scan, print, and copy minus the extra stress and bulk. Not to mention HP’s remote mobile app’s capability to let you use your device to scan images from wherever you may be! You can also print without a network, as it connects effortlessly to any of your devices via Bluetooth. Price: $70

Moto Z Droid Instashare Projector
Ever wanted to make a presentation with just your smartphone? The Instashare projector functionality on this Moto Z Droid smartphone allows you project movies, presentations or photos up to 70 inches on any surface! Talk about a really smart phone! Price: $300
