I don’t know about you, but I am a marketer’s dream – if a product seems like a good idea I want it. If it is priced attractively enough I buy it. And when I come across one nifty little product, the internet suggests more for me to look at and before long I am sucked down that rabbit hole of unashamed consumerism. Check these items below Rs. 500 that I found really interesting:
I have to keep reminding myself that the pandemic isn't over and we do still have to maintain hand hygiene. In any case, hand hygiene is a good habit to have, COVID or no COVID. This touchless sanitiser has an infrared sensor that dispenses an alcohol solution when the hand is placed above it.
This is an inkless and paperless slate for kids, creating shopping lists, to-do lists, reminders, notes and so on. It is great for the home or office. One button erases it all from this digital slate. This battery-operated little gadget is now something that I want too.
It is USB chargeable portable fan and the double-headed design keeps the air flowing on both sides of the neck/head. I'm thinking this may be a useful thing to get before summer really sets in – could well make the heat more tolerable when slaving over a hot stove in the kitchen.
Ever wish you could lie flat and still watch TV without having to strain the neck? Well someone heard your wish and created these horizontal lazy glasses. This is a sort of wearable periscope that lets you watch TV, read a book and more while lying down.
You know the dust and grime tends to create an unattractive, difficult to reach coating on some surfaces? This promises to help clean all that up: kitchen surfaces, AV louvres, electronic surfaces, corners and difficult to clean places.
If it feels tedious to hold the mobile and watch something on that small screen, this screen expander cum stand will help. It magnifies the screen which is also convenient if more than one person is looking at the screen. It claims to protect the eyes as well and has a portable folding design and works with any smartphone.
This is the sort of cleverly-designed, compact, multifunctional thing that I love. Not only does it have multiple screwdrivers, but it also has LED lights to shine on while you work. A little clip makes it easy to carry around even in a pocket.
This is useful for digital cameras as well as phones. It is portable and lightweight. It can support up to 3 kg weight so it can work even with the heaviest DSLR. So that’s a lot of options available if you're looking for clever little gadgets below Rs. 500.
