Wall mounting outlet extender

Provided is a wall power outlet extender that may relocate the wall power outlet to a different position without requiring electrical work or professional installation and without cluttering adjacent surfaces. The wall power outlet extender may be positionable along a surface of a wall adjacent to a wall power outlet and may allow a user to semi-permanently relocate the wall power outlet. The wall power outlet extender may be made fixed and stationary at a particular position and relatively unmovable unless acted on or repositioned by a user. The wall power outlet extender may be selectively rotatable and/or telescopic, and include a spinning or ambidextrous plug, to be adaptable to the specific location and to provide a myriad of different positions in which the new outlet may be placed. The wall power outlet extender may feature multiple outlets, USB ports, and surge protection, as well as Bluetooth and wireless capabilities.
