If you’ve ever used a standard fan at night, then you’re familiar with the ‘waking up with dry mouth syndrome’ and crusty eyes. On those hot summer night nothing is probably more perfect than this Personal Fan that is designed to shoot air in between the sheets. It uses two whisper quiet fans and can produce up to 100 cubic feet of airflow. Includes a remote which allows you to control airflow for one or two people.
Available here for $80.

Every once in a while a design emerges that sets the new standard for an everyday product. The toilet paper dispenser is one of those products that has remained virtually unchanged for God knows how many years until now. The Eva Solo TP holder attaches to the wall on one end and uses what are probably spring loaded plastic tabs to keep the TP from spinning off. When finished, just simply slip off the empty roll and put on a new one.
Available here for $113 (ouch).

When I cook I’m trying to complete my meal in the quickest time possible. Sometimes weighing and measuring the ingredients can be the largest hindrance to an expeditious meal. Enter the Spoon Scale. Shaped just like an everyday spoon, it features a built-in scale that can switch between ounces and grams and can measure from .0005 to 10.5oz.
Available here for $35.

Obsessed with how you look from all angles? Then put away that hand held mirror (and the icy hot for your neck) and pick up this mirror. The center mirror illuminates - well, until you update your lighting system to accommodate all angles. Mounts with screws or suction cups, and requires three AAA batteries.
Available here for $40.

If you’re like me you’ve dreamt of the day of having your very own secret passage.
Creative Home Engineering offers both custom and semi-custom secret doors. They’ve even got an ‘anne frank’ like pre-configured dresser so all you need to do is cut a hole in the wall.
Prices start at $5000.

In the past we’ve seen colored
LED faucets and
shower heads, in addition to a device that
monitors how much electricity you use. The Faucet Buddy combines both of those inventions by displaying the actual temperature of the running water and how many gallons of H20 you’ve wasted.

The modern world wastes gallons and gallons of water. Fortunately, these days folks are catching on. God knows I’ve seen my fair share of waterless urinals. Yeah, it’s a little funky ‘on paper’ but they actually work and they don’t have that horrible urinal cake smell that get’s all up in your mouth. Washup on the other hand, is a conceptual product that reuses the washing machine’s water to flush the toilet. It mounts above the toilet taking full advanatge of the preexisting plumbing and also saves space if you live in a small apartment.

The Poetry Nightstand passes as a solid stack of books. Hidden beneath its benign exterior are 4 draws for stashing the small and not so mentionable. At best I’d stash condoms, lube, you know, the usual. You ’smokers’ probably have something else in mind.
Available here for an undetermined price (you have to email them).
