Now here’s something smart and creative: the Braun Envi Urban Dust-bin which promotes efficient removal of domestic waste and then puts all the re-usable bio-degradable elements of our waste to work by using it to grow a plant that it carries. This gadget will be revolutionary in bringing green living to each home. The nutrients from chewed-up apple cores and banana peels will be used to generate healthy plants to purify the surrounding, while the other aspects of the machine will rid the space of foul odors and harmful pollutants.

We know how fussy you can get in the kitchen and we know how easy it is to make a mistake when it comes to measurements, which is why we’re recommending this smart piece of equipment. The Multi-functional Digital Scale comes with a large LCD display that can be seen great from every angle and the ability to weigh items up to 11 lbs. at 1 gram increments. It also has a tare function that allows the weight of a measuring cup or plate to be subtracted from the total weight, giving you only ingredient weight. The fact that it’s at bargain price isn’t so bad either. Already, this gadget has received over 1250 5-star reviews on Amazon.com. We’re sure you’ll find it your favorite new kitchen helper. |
2. USB Powered Mini Vacuum Cleaner

Got dusty keyboard? This invention is perfect in so many ways! Instead of brushing through hard to reach parts with an old-school key-board brush, you can use the highly developed mini vacuum suction power. This gadget plugs into any standard computer USB port and, get this, there are no batteries to run out. It comes with a nifty little motor and two attachments; the first being a conventional brush nozzle, the second being a special rubber nozzle for hard to get at areas. The vacuum has high and low power settings depending on just how long you’ve let the dust build up around your desk. And, at 10.5 x 13.5 x 3.5cm, this handy little device can be easily stored away in your desk so it’s always nearby for a quick clean-up. |
