You know how some gizmos and gadgets make you go I want one of those! You may live your life perfectly happily without them, but you desire them. Check out some of these nifty little gadgets and you could totally live without – but do you want to? OK, maybe some of these may actually be useful too – take a look:
Handing out individual business cards is passé – no one keeps them and besides all contact info is now on the phone and saved on the cloud. So this one is really a great idea: an NFC and smart QR code contactless digital card. It has an NFC chip that transfers all contact details to the phone address book of any HFC enabled phone. Alternatively, it has a QR code that can be read with any phone camera so that the contact info can be saved easily.
It’s a little like magic how the globe of the world seems to float based on an electronic magnetic system. So it levitates and then you give it a little push to get it spinning. It also has an LED light feature that makes this an interesting décor piece, not just something gift that helps teach a kid some geography.
It works at any angle. It even writes underwater, in extreme temperatures and it writes on grease as well. So useful! 3 Idiots pen anyone?
What is better than a lamp which looks like the moon? One that has faces of you and/or loved ones emblazoned on it, that's what. This one lets you change the light colour and you can choose the size of the lamp that suits your requirements. Upload an image of your choice and get it ‘printed’ on the lamp.
Remember you're supposed to let the wine breathe before you pour it out and drink it? Well, this apparently helps. This glass has a special feature that aerates wine even as you drink it.
This battery-powered light is great for those who don’t want to fumble in the dark looking for a light switch. It can be stuck anywhere and is great for the basement, garage, bathroom, closet and so on. It powers off after 15 to 30 seconds of inactivity.
This is a quirky little conversation starter for parties – coasters that light up to create those really ‘lit’ beverages. This is also great for those teetotalers who can pretend they are drinking something other than water.
For the right person, this could make an ideal gift. There is a ring of light around the mirror so one can touch up their lipstick or eyeliner or makeup anywhere, no matter how poorly lit. Sure this isn't a necessary gadget but is certainly something many of us may want.
