The invention is a recharging unit having an efficiently designed recharging base and at least one rechargeable implement, which also serve as an advertising means. The recharging base has two electrical prongs on the rear surface and at least one orifice on at least one outer surface of the base into which the rechargeable implement can be inserted for recharging. Each of the orifice lies completely within the surface where it is, and is configured to retain securely a rechargeable implement even in an inverted position. The recharging base is shaped and the electrical prongs are positioned and oriented such that when the recharging base is inserted into one socket of a common two socket electrical outlet, it does not block the second socket, thereby permitting both sockets to be accessible for concurrent use.
