There are going to be some days where you need to ride your bike to a specific location. But then all of a sudden, the heavens start to open. You need an umbrella, but it’s too dangerous to open one while you’re on the move. This hands-free umbrella could really come in handy on rainy days for that mom scooter.
But a hands-free umbrella is great for just about anyone. If tinted, it can be used as a sunshade too. With a push of a button, it retracts or opens automatically. Withstanding 40 mph winds, gone are the days the umbrella rips inside out by a freezing gust. The whole contraption is securely mounted like a backpack.
Self-Weighing Suitcase
Not everyone has a pair of scales at home to weigh themselves or a piece of luggage in preparation for a flight. But you want to know that you're not packing too much. Otherwise, you'll turn up to check-in and the clerk will tell you to remove certain items so that you don't exceed your registered limit. Thankfully, there is a special luggage bag that solves this problem.
This luggage bag has a handle that can tell you exactly how much it weighs. You simply press the "On" button on the handle, and it will reveal an accurate measurement of its weight. This means that you don't have to deadlift your luggage every time you need to weigh it.
Replaceable Toothbrush Bristles
It seems like the time to replace one's toothbrush comes around way too quickly. Before you know it, you have to take another trip to the drugstore and purchase your next batch of brushes. But what if we told you that you might never need to replace your brush ever again? At the very least, you won't have to replace the handle with this awesome device.
This handle makes it easy to clip on and clip off your toothbrush bristles so that you can simply replace this part of the brush without having to change the handle. It's pretty neat, but might not be the most cost-effective solution until the replaceable bristles become mainstream.
Oreo Holder
There is nothing quite like dipping a bunch of Oreos in a nice, cool, glass of milk. Truth be told, these cookies are some of the ultimate dunkers on the market. But who wants to dig through the box or lay out the Oreos on a plate? Both of those practices are so primitive.
Now, you can handle your Oreos in a much more sophisticated way. Simply take this specially-designed Oreo holder and clip it onto the edge of your glass. You can now easily pick up your Oreo and dunk away! And you don't have to worry about the cookies falling out of the container - they won't!
Electronic Luggage Bag
It would be quite an understatement to say that moving a luggage bag around the airport can be quite a drag (pun intended). And that was the inspiration behind a Chinese farmer's incredible invention. He Liangcai devised the very first electronic luggage bag. Like many other luggage bags, this one also has wheels.
But what makes it unique is the fact that the wheels are connected to an electric system that allows it to move without dragging it along the floor. It also has a pair of handles, allowing the user to sit on the bag and ride it like an electric bike. Here, we can see Liangcai riding the bag down a street in Changsha City.
Sound Shirt and Sound Mini Skirt
Unlike other devices on this list, this one is specifically designed for the deaf community. Unveiled at the Access+Ability exhibit at the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum, the Soundshirt, and the Sound Miniskirt are designed to look appealing to the eye and to also assist those who wear them.
Designed by Ryan Genz and Francesca Rosella, this wearable device provides deaf audience members with the ability to "feel" the music being played at a concert through vibrations and the sense of touch. It's a pretty innovative breakthrough that helps members of the deaf community get a much more well-rounded experience at events that heavily revolve around music.
Sock Slider
There is no denying that putting on your socks can be an arduous task. Who has time to sit at the edge of their bed and put a sock on each foot to start their day? Maybe you can call us lazy - but surely there's a device out there that stops us from asking our mom (or partner) to put on our socks.
Look no further than the slock slider. This ingenious device allows users to simply fit the edges of the sock onto it, providing one with the easy task of simply dipping their foot toe-first into the hole. There has never been an easier way to put on socks!
The Secret Fridge Cam
When the fridge lock is a little too harsh but you still need some refrigerator security for various reasons. Perhaps you find that someone at the office keeps stealing your yogurt, or you're cruelly monitoring your loved one's food habits, either way, the fridge cam is the way to go.
Just stick the sneaky little secret camera in the back of the fridge, connect it to an app on your phone, and keep that watchful eye on your beloved icebox.
The Laundry Folder
We have washing machines, tumble dryers, and yet all these years we've had to rely on primitive things like our hands and irons to keep our clothes neatly folded. No more. The automated laundry folder is officially here.
Laundry is truly one of the worst chores of everyday life, so we are so thrilled that this revolutionary machine was launched in 2019. How it came this late is a total msytery.
Water Bike
Truth be told, there are plenty of vehicles that one can use to travel across the water. Boats have been around for a long time. And if you don't have time to take a boat-riding course, you can always use a canoe. But what about if you're riding a bike and you need to get to the other side of a lake? That's where this device comes into play.
Dusty Apparently, this specially customized bike has inbuilt floats that you can inflate when you reach a body of water. Then, it has a mechanism that allows you to peddle your way across the surface, without falling over! This guy used it in Lake Como, Italy.
The Pee-Mate
It's hard being a woman. Along with all that male privilege, comes the wonderful advantage of "going to the bathroom easily." That is until now. This crazy invention actually makes things in that department much, much easier.
Take it with you to concerts, camping trips, and really just anywhere around the city. Have you seen public bathrooms? No thank you!
The Ice-Cream Rotator
Everybody loves ice-cream, but not everybody enjoys publically going to town on a chocolate or whatever preferred-favored cone for all eyes to see. Not to mention all that tiring wrist work you get from forever spinning it around, ceaselessly trying to catch those melted drips.
It's physically exhausting and a race against time itself. The rotating cone however effortlessly rotates your ice-cream for you so you will never again have to experience the horror of eating ice cream all by yourself.
The Tablet Arm
Trying to watch a movie from the comfort of your own bed and you don't have a TV? Good luck with the laptop. The thing inevitably sinks into your sheets, or you end up craning your head too much when you're lying down.
Thankfully, for lazy folks like all of us, the tablet arm conveniently attaches to you to your bedside table and comfortably extends to the front of your face "Wall-E" style. You may never have to get up again.
The Toothpaste Squeezer
Who needs hands? This toothpaste roller squeezer is a genius little invention for people who don't know how to squeeze toothpaste (top squeezers, we're talking about you.)
Even those with the mightiest of grips can never fully get it right. With this, the roller will do all the work for you from the bottom to the top, just like a Drake song.
The Invisible Helmet
People kill themselves trying to look stylish, but now they don't have to. No, this isn't like "The Emporer's New Clothes" in which everybody oohs and aahs over the imaginary item of clothing.
This is an actual non-light bending plexiglass helmet that turns into a perfectly designed head "airbag" from the slightest trigger. You can now be perfectly cool and safe rolling down the street on your string-thin fixie.
Handwriting Robot
It seems like the evolution of handwriting has come full circle with the following device. Back in the day, humans would write letters with a quill. Eventually, this was replaced by the pen. And then along came the typewriter, which threw handwriting out of the window completely.
And since then, we have been used to typing our words with a variety of devices. But there's nothing quite like a beautiful, handwritten letter. So with this robot, you can type in the message you want written, and it will write it out for you! Or, you can just relearn how to handwrite...
Smart Garden 3 by Click & Grow
Food technology is always looking for innovation, and Smart Garden 3 is here to bring it. Grow herbs without the stress that comes from watering, watching, and waiting. It uses “smart soil,” a NASA-inspired tech that optimizes growth by giving your plants the perfect amount of nutrients, water, and oxygen all thanks to built-in sensors.
Your herbs will grow quickly and they'll thrive thanks to the advantages of this device. The included Grow Lamp even speeds up the growing process, meaning you will have fresh, home-grown herbs faster than ever. Space-age tech is here to make your food taste better.
The Bottleloft
This fantastic storage-saving magnet allows you to take your fridge use to new heights. Find yourself running out of space in the fridge because all the shelves are packed up? Just use the ceiling! We'll explain - first with the following photo.
This bottle fridge magnet is the perfect answer to your beer-space woes. Is that magnet strong enough to withstand an aggressively hungry person flinging open the fridge doors? We sincerely hope so. Whatever the case may be, you simply hold up the bottle top to the magnet and voila, it sticks to the fridge ceiling! Absolutely genius stuff.
The Whiskey Enhancer
The major distinguisher for whiskey is the amount of time it's aged in a good quality barrel. Aging in a fine oak barrel both helps filter the whiskey and adds a more complex flavor. But what if you get cheap whiskey and get the same effect?
This is where the team from Time & Oak comes in. These guys realized that the key to fine whiskey is just that earthy oak. By simply mixing your "more reasonably priced" whiskey with this fine oakey stick, you can achieve that superior taste.
Eat 'n Draw
Going on a camping trip and want to spend those evenings by the fire doing some late night journaling? Well, this invention of a combination eating utensil and pen is the way to go.
The pen caps double as knives and forks, making these things super easy and practical to travel with. One thing that does concern us is the cleanliness factor. One should make sure to clean off the food once you put them away.
The True Love Tester
If you thought wearable tech couldn't get any weirder (color-changing shirts, Tweeting shoes, and GPS jackets) then brace yourself for this one. The True Love Bra, designed in Japan, is a bra with an electronic clasp that unhooks itself when it detects that the wearer is in love.
The sensor detects a rise in the heartbeat and sends it an app via Bluetooth for "examination," there it decides whether or not that rapid heartbeat indicates romantic fluster, and if so, well, open sesame.
The Life Straw
Clean water is a number one priority and something that every single human should have access to. It's crazy that not all people do, so in the name of craziness, this invention is here to do just that. Introducing the purification straw officially named "The Life Straw."
This special straw can turn any grimy body of water into perfectly clean drinking water. Imagine the impact that can have on the world? It may be a little clunky, but this thing is a literal life-saver.
Chopstick/Fork
Let's face it - how many of us love getting some Sushi but never bother to use the chopsticks to pick them up and put them in our mouths? Surely we should be eating stuff the way it should be eaten, right? No chopstick dexterity? That's fine, not everybody can master this delicate art.
Sure, this item looks like a silly fork with silly chopsticks attached, and it kind of is. But the next time you're tasked with eating a bowl of egg-fried rice, you'll certainly be pining for this invention. These chopsticks are also a fork, for those who aren't feeling too confident about their skills.
Holiday Cheer!
Perhaps Santa will prefer that the milk with his cookies be served in a flask rather than in a glass? Either way, this Santa Flask is available for purchase by anyone who thinks a flask disguised as a plastic Christmas stocking is a good idea.
If you’re looking for a creative gag gift for the next white elephant party you’re invited to, this may be the solution.
Alcoholics Anonymous
Need to get through the executive meeting this afternoon, but you missed the power lunch with the guys because you had to catch up on paperwork? No fear. Sneak a nice sour mash whiskey blend inside this Flask Tie and get through the day.
Conveniently located around your neck, you can keep your drinking anonymous all day long. It comes in eight patterns and holds eight ounces.
Corner Frames
How many times have you tried fitting a piece of art into a perfect little space, only to find that you are prevented from doing so by an annoying wall corner? Countless! These beautiful frames can now go along with the corners and still look good!
The open up like a book right in the corner. You now don't have to leave those parts of your house completely bare anymore.
SneakERASERS Instant Sneaker Cleaner
Sneakerheads will know the difficulty of trying to keep your sneakers clean and bright at all times. It seems that even after a couple of months from the moment of purchase, your favorite kicks can look like they were bought from a second-hand store, and that's just not cool.
The "eraser" is actually a small pre-soaked sponge. In just a few seconds of scrubbing, your shoe will look brand new. Founders and former college roommates Kevin Consolo and Chris Pavlica pitched the idea on "Shark Tank." While a deal wasn't finalized, the pair went on to build a successful sneaker eraser brand.
Keep 'Em Steady!
We don't know about you, but when it comes to the holiday season, there is nothing more stressful than having to wrap a mountain of presents and making sure that you have cut the wrapping paper precisely. It's an absolute nightmare that we'd prefer to leave to Mom.
Luckily, the makers of this laser beam-guided pair of scissors take the guesswork out of cutting. Instead of hoping you cut a steady and straight line, the laser attachment helps to guide you as you cut, leaving you with perfectly straight lines. We wonder if Santa's elves have a whole cache of these at the North Pole.
Snazzy-Looking Smart Glasses
For many of us, the idea of "smart" glasses that can be paired to your phone conjures up images of something out of a sci-fi film. But if you thought these futuristic features couldn't be fashionable, think again.
Vue glasses look like real designer glasses that you would see in a fashion magazine. An added bonus is that they can be synced up to your smartphone and allow you to play music and answer calls while looking (and feeling) like regular eyeglasses! Who would have thought? Obviously, the next step in this technology is being able to browse your phone and watch YouTube videos through you glasses!
Zipped Earbuds
As technology progresses, so does the design of the day-to-day items we use. These zipped-up earbuds are basically everything one needs to avoid the wires from tangling or getting lost. Not to mention the fact that our cats and dogs love to chew on every single cable they can sink their teeth into.
So this device is a welcome addition in that respect. We wonder if this great idea can be attached to a zip-up hoodie and then our lives will be totally carefree. We are sure that the designers of this zip are coming up with that next invention as we write this.
Overloaded Elevator
Elevators have a limit of people who can use them at once. The bigger the elevator, the more people can squeeze themselves in. It also indicates the weight limit. So, we're not going to start counting the number of people that are cramped inside with us, and we are surely not prepared to weigh anyone.
The designer of this thought of it all. So, the number of people is not always the most accurate measurement of the elevator's capacity limit. Surprisingly, it can be as little as two people who can reach the limit easily. At any rate, this is a pretty good way to indicate how full the elevator is.
Home Security Bot
This home security guard is a self-driving lawnmower. Like the Roomba vacuum cleaner, this high-tech robot navigates the perimeter of the lawn and mows it, automatically steering clear of obstacles as small as dog poop. When its battery runs low, the autonomous mower cruises over to the power source and plugs itself in.
But that's not all. The bot provides a 360-degree security camera with remote access. Loaded with AI features, powered by an algorithm, and fully compatible with Alexa, it’s one smart lawnmower. Imagine if you hired a gardner who could also be your bouncer. That's what this device basically is.
Hug Me Pillow
Hmm, we don't judge. Folks gotta do what folks gotta do to fight the lonely bug away. If you're tired of those lonely nights and can't do much about it, then this pillow might bring you a world of comfort. It's big, sturdy yet cushiony man arm will hug you through the night and keep you safe.
You can have your hug pillow dressed up in a button-downed shirt to make you feel like you're cozying up to a business-man. You can also dress it up in whatever else you like! It's your pillow!
The Baby Mop
This invention is pretty questionable and very much depends on how you're planning on using it. If you're planning on putting your baby to work, then maybe you should reconsider. But if you think the outfit is at least kind of cute and perhaps feel that it couldn't hurt, seeing as your baby is crawling around the floor all day anyway, then, why not?
Just don't use this as an actual substitute for real mopping. Your floor will still be dirty if you don't take care of that. And, also, please, please wash that thing daily. If your baby is going to be rolling around as an extra absorptive cleaning tool, then it's best you keep your baby and their clothes as clean as humanly possible.
Goggle Umbrella
This is pretty nifty. To get real protection from the rain, you always have to keep that umbrella pretty low down. Good umbrellas that shield your own face often block your vision and shallow umbrellas flip inside out from a single gust of wind. With goggle umbrellas, it's goodbye to all those umbrella related issues.
Now you can just carry around your umbrella at eye level, keep super dry and completely see where you're going through the plastic space for your eyes. It's perfect and it's odd how this isn't on all umbrellas.
Ping Pong Door
Your doorway no longer needs to be just a boring doorway anymore. Gone are the days of simply walking in and out rooms in your house. With the ping pong door set, you can turn your home into the greatest house on the block. All you need is two people...and a doorway!
Set up the table anywhere two rooms are connected. You can go one on one, to doubles and ping pong the boredom away.
Baby Stroller and Scooter Hybrid
We cannot vouch for the safety levels of this product but it does look cool. Still, if you're zooming down the street with this thing, you might want to do so extremely carefully. Clearly made for hard-working city parents, this scooter meets stroller will get you and your baby where you need to go as fast as possible.
We suppose it makes sense to combine these two things. But on the other hand, does it really? When it comes to babies, a slow stroll down a quiet road might be the safer option.
Alarm Clock Coffee Maker
Ever wished that someone would deliver you coffee the moment you wake up in the morning? Sure, many people can really on their partners for that. But for single people, they might need to come up with a contingency plan. Undisputedly, this solution is a dream come true, every single morning, for the caffeine-inclined.
The contraption wakes the sleepy coffee connoisseur at the scheduled time and then churns out a perfectly brewed cup. It’s like having a barista bot right on the nightstand. There is no excuse for hitting snooze with this device. How could a cup be left to go to waste? And the aroma! This alarm clock will wake the sleepiest sleepyhead.
Ostrich Pillow
Many people have come across this unique design without really understanding what the whole fuss was about. The appearance of this pillow wasn't prioritized when designed, however, the functionality of it was focused on, big time. It's designed to use when you need a short rest, or a power nap.
This pillow provides an isolated and private environment within a public space. It allows you to sleep anywhere at any time in the most comfortable position possible. What's more, is that it's a sensory deprevator. This means it will block out all of the terrible surrounding sounds and also give you so much needed darkness, ideal for sleep.
Basketball Glasses
Well, why not. Who said people with glasses aren't sporty! Though it might look like you're trying to overcompensate just a tad, and it's not quite clear if this is more of a stay at home kind of game, or if those are 'outside appropriate'. Either way, this invention is about as crazy as it is useful.
Dropping that ball might bring a lifetime of frustration as it will probably just roll under your furniture and never be found again. Maybe it's good for parties and could be a fun addition to a beer pong game.
Glow In The Dark Toilet Roll
How many times have you scurried to the bathroom in a sleepy haze, in the middle of the night, only to find not a single roll of toilet paper? This is a classic nightmare that somehow never stops repeating itself. It's also why this invention is all the more genius.
Laugh if you must, but you will never have to stumble into the darkness and experience another midnight toilet disaster ever again. This amazing little thing lights up your toilet roll, and inevitably, your bathroom. It's simply is a must.
The Soft Shelf
It may look a little wonky but it is actually not the case with this interesting piece of rubbery furniture. This shelf holds your silverware in a bit of an unconventional way, granted, but those things do they do look rather safely tucked in there.
It also looks pretty economical as you can fit quite a lot of things in there. No need to fill our house with shelving when you have this baby.
Selfie Spoon
We love sharing shots of our delicious meals with our friends. Whether it be at our favorite restaurants, or to show off our masterful creations from our own kitchens. These beautiful dishes deserve their moments of glory. But why should it stop at the plate?
Take your food sharing experience to the next level with the selfie spoon. It might sound far-fetched but isn't the best part of food the eating part? This allows you to share just that.
Multifunctional Foldable Cutting Board
This flexible cutting board is more than just flexible; it’s downright compliant. You can do all your prep work with this culinary tool. Covering all the bases, it provides a space to cut, chop, strain, and rinse any type of fruits and vegetables.
And after you’re done, just pop it in the dishwasher. Voila!
The Force is With You
Ah, the Uncle Milton Star Wars Deluxe Lightsaber Room Light. A must-have for all Star Wars enthusiasts, regardless of age. This wall-mounted lightsaber glows in eight different colors, each level of the spectrum accessed at your command.
The handheld remote control feature also controls sound effects. Light and entertainment, the perfect bedroom decor accent piece.
Make Espresso Anywhere
This little gadget is a java dream come true for that person who absolutely cannot go a day without freshly brewed espresso. Otherwise, it might be perfect to bring a portable espresso maker camping or to a picnic. It’s a must-have device for all glampers!
Sneak it on the airplane and enjoy a high-quality espresso while the other passengers are stuck with airline brewed regular coffee
Travel Charger
Stop searching everywhere for a place to charge more than one device at a time when you’re on vacay. Vacations should be relaxing, free of low battery fears. This Travel Power Strip fits easily in a suitcase and comes in handy with three available USB outlets. Or maybe at home, there’s only that one free outlet behind the couch. This retractable power circle can reach it.
There is not a device in the world that this little wonder can't accommodate! A must have in today's tech-stacked world.
Is It a Fork? Is It a Spoon?
Truth be told, kitchen utensils need to be more dynamic than they currently are. Exhibit A. This invention could be a training tool for your kids when they learn how to use a fork. It could also be a great way to save on some space when going on hiking trips (we always need a fork at one point or another).
This can also be just a plain fork-spoon combination with no story behind it at all. We believe the term "spork" is thrown around a lot these days. Would this work with a lefthanded? Would it work at all?
A Smart Faucet
Having the perfect shower seems to me mission impossible sometimes. How many times have we stepped foot into the cubicle, and tried to adjust the dialer to the perfect temperature, but with plenty of fails along the way? That's where this ingenious invention comes into play. Let's take a look at it.
It is a shower faucet with thermostat control, warming to the perfect temp without the back-and-forth guesswork. Just set it to the exact temperature and take a stress-free shower. Never too cold. Never too hot. Even Baby Bear can lock in the just-right shower experience without getting doused with freezing or scalding water.
The Smart Lens
This revolutionary medical device that serves as a contact lens for vision while monitoring glucose levels in people with diabetes was a really good idea. Monitoring made simple, no pricks or prods. Google’s life science company Novartis led the project only to find, much like Google’s driverless cars, it is completely impracticable at this point.
We suppose it's still in the early stages. Technology like this certainly takes it time to develop.
A Bottle Opener for Any Occasion
Never get stuck with a beer you can’t open again. The ZRAMO Ring Bottle Opener is a stainless steel bar tool that comes in a silver or gold finish. Best of all, you will always have it with you.
For beer-centric lovebirds, it may be the perfect nuptial gift. Note to buyers. The Ring Bottle Opener comes in only one 22 mm size.
Breakfast Sandwiches
on the Double! Make breakfast for yourself and your partner in a jiffy! This Dual Breakfast Sandwich Maker cooks your breakfast in just 5 minutes. Double that! It cooks two. Save the time and energy it takes to run through Mickey D’s for an Egg McMuffin, and enjoy a lovely breakfast at home, even on those days when you have to be out of the house by 7 a.m.
Worrying about keeping all those parts clean think again. This thing has you covered, they go right in the dishwasher.
The Condiment Shooter
Guns and barbecues. What is more American than that? Now you can shoot your ketchup onto your burger or pull the trigger to line your hotdog with mustard.
Do you want to make eating fun enough that your kids show up for dinner? This is your culinary device. (Disclaimer: The Condiment Shooter hereby disclaims any and all responsibility for the potentiality of food fight shootouts.) And that’s not all, folks it also shoots BBQ sauce and hot sauce.
‘Beam Me Up, Scotty’
Star Trek fired our imaginations with teleport technologies. Traveling in a zip is a wonderful dream. (Just hope you don’t accidentally land at the wrong, very inconvenient, destination. Like, in the middle of the frigid Atlantic instead of Berlin.)
Space vacation will be available this century. You will be able to orbit the Earth as the moon does, but you’ll still have to rocket to get there. Yet, maybe teleporting isn’t too far off either. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) pulled it off with quantum information. In an experiment, the NIST teleported light particles! Will we be next?
Port-a-book
We absolutely love this one. The small portable computers intended to be carried around are not as comfortable as the desktop ones we have in our homes or offices. In Japan, they have thought of it all.
This laptop has a keyboard that breaks into two pieces when stored, and when in use it becomes the same size as the keyboard you left behind in your office. So, the screen may still be small but for sure the finger exercise on this will be much more comfortable. The next phase of this device is an expandable monitor. That would make it perfect.
Onion Holder
OnionHolder Onions are a challenge. But not with this all-in-one onion holder. Now you can slice, chop, cut, and remove odor from onions with one tool.
Plus, freeing your hands from touching the onion keeps your hands free of onion odors. Plus, it can be used on potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, and cucumbers too! Very versatile.
The Evolution of the Pizza Slicer
Introducing the Dreamfarm Scizza. For cutting and serving pizza pies, you have found the ultimate device. This thing will cut perfect slices on any surface without causing damage and then serve a perfect slice to the plate. It’s made of German stainless-steel blades and a non-stick nylon base.
Certainly every college student's dream. Totally simple and intuitive. Seriously one of the best inventions we've seen.
DIY Facelift
Facelifts can be expensive! It costs hundreds and thousands of dollars to have simple procedures performed on your face. Plus, going under the knife is painful, and it takes some time to heal. Why go through all the misery and expense when you can buy this Face Slimmer for just $4.99?!
That’s right, not even five bucks, and you can tighten lips, eyes, and chin areas. Just 3-minutes per day and you can kiss those wrinkles away. If you’re puzzled about how it works, don't worry, there are a full set of instructions.
The Next Best Thing to a Selfie Gadget
So, you need to tether your phone, but you want it near you. Here it is. Like an inverted selfie stick, this gadget brings your phone to your line of vision, whether it’s in the car, behind the wheel, or in bed. You’ll enjoy a truly hands-free experience.
Read up on your favorite actors, hang out with your social media pals, then off with the light. Goodnight!
Two in One
This has to be sold in every hardware store in the country. This great design is basically, a socket and an adapter in one item. And not only is it an adapter, but it's also a multi-adapter, so when multiple friends come from multiple countries, they can all share the same charging spot.
It can be a life-changer. As your UK friend and your Minessota cousin are about to come at the same time, with the same dead battery on their mobile device, they can both charge them in no time whatsoever. Also, you can take this bad-boy adaptor around the world with you.
The Inflatable Back Seat
You already have an inflatable mattress at home to accommodate your guests as best you can, but do you have a Travel Inflatable Mattress Air Bed?
This blow-up bed can make your car into a camper! It’s also the perfect size for your SUV cargo area. Get two and sleep four in your SUV!
A Hammock for Cats
Looking for a safe place for your feline friend to nap the day away? Strap this cat Cat Crib under a chair and the kitty will be purrr-fectly happy. They love hiding under beds and sofas, adding a hammock should be a great find.
Maybe, in immense appreciation, your cat will choose to sleep there rather than leave hair on your comfy couch.
Look Ma, No Hands
There are going to be some days where you need to ride your bike to a specific location. But then all of a sudden, the heavens start to open. You need an umbrella, but it's too dangerous to open one while you're on the move. This hands-free umbrella could really come in handy on rainy days for that mom scooter.
But a hands-free umbrella is great for just about anyone. If tinted, it can be used as a sunshade too. With a push of a button, it retracts or opens automatically. Withstanding 40 mph winds, gone are the days the umbrella rips inside out by a freezing gust. The whole contraption is securely mounted like a backpack.
Dumpling Maker
This durable 3-inch solid stainless steel dumpling maker makes empanadas, ravioli, and pierogies! All you have to do is figure out how to make pasta dough, roll it out, and hope it doesn’t tear.
Then, you simply place it into this handy-dandy pierogi mold. Bon appetite! Just looking at this thing can give you an appetite.
Spout Protector
This spout protector is perfect! It protects your baby from injuries that might be sustained from accidentally falling on a sharp, metal faucet, and it regulates the temperature, so it’s just right for a baby’s bath. Called the 4Moms Spout Cover, it is designed to fit on any faucet.
This sounds like a must for every new mom in the world. It's better to be safe than sorry.
The Dripless Coffee Mug
Do you live under constant harassment from someone who is relentlessly on your case about coffee rings left on coffee tables, books, or side tables? You try to make sure there are no drips, but they detect the evidence every single time!
This coffee mug will save you from endless harassment. Invented by Kim Keun Ae, a Korean designer, the Drop Rest Mug stops drips before they stain important documents or antique wood furniture. Finally.
LED Fan and Clock Invention
Without electricity and the light bulb, we would never have this invention. What is it, you’re asking?? This is a laptop companion that keeps you cool while displaying a clock (for the third time as it’s on the computer monitor as well as your phone which is sitting next to you).
You may be able to use this handy little fan at another USB port too. Cool gadget!
The Ben & Jerry’s Pint Padlock
This is a real problem. Especially if you live with roommates. Keep your ice cream safe and germ-free with the Ben & Jerry’s Euphori-Lock Ice Cream Pint Combination Lock Protector. It’s got a long name, but it’s quick to protect your valuable tub of Cherry Garcia.
Keep them out of your Ben & Jerry’s Vegan P.B. & Cookies! A great way to keep those uninvited guests out of your precious ice cream.
Umbrella with a Cup Holder
You thought only cars come with cup holders? Think again. A new invention by Urban Zoo, patent-pending, fits your umbrella with a cup holder too!
You only have two hands. This multi-tasking maven is magnificent! Coffee is a priority, and of course, you don’t want to drop that call. Plus, you may have other items that must stay dry on a rainy day.
Home Spa

The Fork of the Future
The RSVP Endurance Pasta Fork is not a futuristic concept fork. No. It is available to anyone in sets of four. The stainless steel rippled prongs grab onto long spaghetti noodles.

Make a laboratory out of your kitchen and experiment every single night with meals to serve your family.
It's About Time!
So you want to check your watch for the time, but it's just way to cold to roll up your sleeves to check. Of course, you could check your phone from your pocket, but let's assume you don't have a phone. Say goodbye to pulling up sleeves, and say hello to one jacket you are not going to leave!
This winter jacket has a see-through window on the lower part of the sleeve, so you don't have to do much to see the time. Now, we know the position of the window is not in the exact place and it needs to be slightly lower, but hey, this is what we found so this will do!
Sharpie Re-engineers the Highlighter Pen
Now you can highlight your textbook or homework with precision. Sharpie designed a unique see-through tip. These highlighter pens make highlighting clearly visible. Choose from four colors. The chisel tip makes bold or thin lines.
No excuses for avoiding homework now! This is probably the most revolutionary tool that was invented for studying in the history of the universe.
Slippers with Headlights
Why mess with a night light when you can have it mounted to the front of your bedroom slippers? It’s the safest way to traverse a dark room at night. If you think these bright and furry super-functional slippers might be a good fit, check out Bright Feet Lighted Slippers for yourself.
If you think you're the kind of person to knock on into walls on your way to the bathroom then this is definitely for you.
Key-less Keyboard
Here’s an idea so new, there are no words to describe it! A projection keyboard. It’s a virtual keyboard, for keys in a musical instrument or for typing, that is projected with lasers. Mashable opines, “This portable laser keyboard is the keyboard of the future.” It links with any device.
That is super convenient. No more clunky keyboards. Even slick touchscreen keyboards seem archaic when you see these things.
Protect Your Dog from Rain
This dog umbrella serves double duty. Not only does it protect Fido on rainy days from getting drenched, but it also works as a leash.
The leash, in turn, ensures that the umbrella remains directly over your pet to keep it as dry as possible. All you need now is a cup holder on the handle for your latte!
No More Tears Bath Hat
The HOOYEE Safe Shampoo Bathing Cap protects your kids in the bath or shower. Keep water and soap out of the baby’s eyes while bathing. It’s also supposed to assist during haircuts. Plus, according to HOOYEE, it makes a great sun visor.
This could be your all-in-one protection device for your baby’s eyes and face! It comes in turquoise, pink, green, and red.
A Convertible Couch
Take everything you know about sleeping on the couch and toss it out the window. This is no ordinary sofa. The unassuming piece of furniture converts into a bunk bed replete with a ladder and guard rail. Some sofas pull out into a bed. This one lifts up into a bunk bed.
It is like one of those Transformers toys, but this is no plaything, it is made for rest instead of play. And we guess also play. Because bunk beds are ideal for slumber parties and all kinds of fun games. One of the most juvenile inventions on this list, for sure.
The Hourglass Traffic Light
The Sand Glass, designed by Thanva Tivawong, is a concept traffic light that we wish we could already be using! Just imagine how many traffic tickets would be avoided if you don’t have to risk guessing how much longer the light will stay green.
The light also features a countdown for those last few grains of LED-lighted sand.
