Do you love gadgets? Well, if you are going to answer “No”, you probably just don’t know what I mean.
Gadgets are little (and huge) devices that are meant to make our lives easier. They do not necessarily mean any technological innovations, sometimes these are ordinary things with enhanced functionality.
So today I am going to show you how daily-routine things may be optimized so that you could never imagine. You have dreamed about them without even knowing this is possible!

Sometimes you just can’t do without crutches, but why settle for regular crutches if you can have collapsible ones? (via Craziest Gadgets)

Cool gadgets.
Um… Crunches?
It’s “crutches”, not crunches. You made that mistake twice so it can’t be a typo.
These are fantastic ideas. It’s just too bad that they are not in production. Would have loved those collapsible crutches a few years back.
@MonkeyMons: It has been fixed. Thanks
Cool gadgets! My favorite will have to be the stackable furniture set.
Most of these gadgets are VERY unique and very cool! Thanks for the post.
We ordered and tried the USB heated fingerless gloves and they don’t work at all. I had them plugged in all day and didn’t get heat.
We decided to stick with heated items that really work well and get the job done: a heated mouse, heated mouse pad, heated keyboard pad and mouse hand warmer blanket pouch. They’ve all best tried, tested and work fantastic to relieve cold hands when using the computer.
@empa7hy, MonkeyMons, thanks for the catch
I think I copy-pasted and thus the error occurred twice. Sorry, guys
Cool stuff. I think my dog would like the Peek Pet device.
All of them are superb!
I am too lazy and i think i should have the one for tooth paste..
The lady with the crutches is trying to get into the DRIVERS SEAT of the car.
Hmm…
Thanks,
Great.
I really enjoyed it.
Kind regards,
Assa
I think you’re misreporting.
That bowl seems too simple to have built-in gyroscopes to ensure it doesn’t tip. Where would you put them? It’s just molded plastic construction.
I think the bowl is just weighted and gimballed.
Here’s a link to the slippers with lights
http://shop.energysmartcompany.com/green-gadgets-40/brightfeet-slippers-101/
Okay, that toothbrush fountain is just TOO COOL. The slippers with lights on the toes made me laugh. Banana holders, too! hahaha!
But the most brilliant from my perspective is the lap work station. What a terrific item to have, for someone wheelchair bound! VERY good idea.
#2 would be useless in Australia, with water restrictions and so forth.
Yup, the plastic bowl doesn’t have gyroscopes, it has gimbals like old sailing compasses and the awesome flight cockpit in The Last Starfighter!
A lot of them look photoshopped.
Wow usb-heated gloves
Why? lol
Some of these are just nuts,,,but they are all funny LMAO
most of these are just useless gimmicky items that you try once and through it in the closet because its more of a hassle than help
Phil E Drifter, you are an idiot.
cool but toooo funy.
Those USB mittens are epic!
These are so awesome!
I wouldn’t exactly call a sponge shaped like a microphone an ‘innovation’. Otherwise, a few cool things on here.
awesome stuff i like the stacking furniture
In love with toothbrush, furniture, and gloves. They all really make my day. In fact, I see a purchase of mittens in the near future..
excellent, love these products
coool, the ’spill-resistant’ bowl is too cute
retractable crutches might be the most useful of them.
nice one.
I love the stackable furnitures!
The problem is they cost a bit too much:

The tray is not an innovation as it is biased against left-handed people.
I have the USB Mittens. They are incredible.
The Bird house will be great for those sparrows getting home late from a night of drinking otherwise great Stuff.
C-O-O-L! I LIKE SO MUCH THE ROCKER-SEATS!
Very interesting and inovative. I like the stacking and space saving furniture.
I have a similar collapsible bowl and cup set to that squishy bowl from Mountain Equipment Co-Op here in Canada… we’ve had them for years, and they’ve gone across Canada and into Europe with us. It’s a fantastic way to be able to eat and drink while travelling without resorting to disposable plates, restaurants, or bulky items in your luggage.
woow that baby bowl is pretty cooll
hey hey hey smoke weed every day
Wow. These are so random but so useful!!!
I especially like the table/chair/artwork combo. I’d also take the lighted slippers, self-righting bowls, and the collapsible bowls.
HEATED GLOVES. Okay that’s a good one. I’m a fan of heated stuff.
I also love the toothbrush.
I don’t know how practical some of these are, but they are interesting.
