One of my favorite tech innovations of the past year is Apple’s iPad Pro paired with the Pencil. There have been many digital styli that have preceded it, but for me, nothing’s come close to touching the Pencil for note-taking and drawing.

I’m all about minimalism these days. Why carry two things when you can condense down to one. One example of this is an iPhone 7 and a wallet. You can ditch the wallet if you buy an iPhone 7 case that doubles as a wallet, like the new X-Doria Stash iPhone 7 case. Available in
