Ditto Vibrating Cell Phone Signaler
Know someone who is sick and tired of receiving seemingly useless notifications on their phone all of the time? By putting a phone in silent mode to avoid the influx of unwanted or tedious, non-essential messages, important notifications can be missed in the process. The Ditto Bluetooth Vibrating Cell Phone Signaler will allow you to pick and choose from whom you want to receive calls, texts and email messages. It’s customizable with a free app, allowing you to pre-set important contacts, like the babysitter or the boss, and not be bothered by every single phone call, text or email that comes in while doing other things. The app is both iOS and Android compatible. $39.95; HarrisComm.com.
