UV Bead Checker for Summer safety

UV Beads CheckerGetting too much sun can be very dangerous, especially for the youngsters amongst us.  Enter the UV Beads Checker.  They look like an ordinary string of beads, but in sunlight they change colors, letting you know how long you’ve been outside.  They can be attached around your wrist as a bracelet, or attached to your phone as a little charm.  Great idea!

Digital Bath Spout Cover

Digital Bath Spout CoverThis may seem like a strange gadget to some, but there are definitely times where it’s nice to know the exact (or nearly exact) temperature of bath water.  Pregnant women, children and the elderly all need to be careful with hot bathwater, and even testing the water coming out of the faucet can cause painful burns.  In households with these issues, the Digital Bath Spout Cover would be much appreciated gadget!

Paper Towel Pill

Paper Towel PillThis is one of those things that looks like a great idea.  It’s simply a paper towel that’s been dehydrated and compressed down to a small cube.  Add a few drops of water, and it becomes a large paper towel.  Mom’s can throw a few of these in their purse, and it’s great for sudden spills or cleanups.  You can keep a few in your car (or work bag, or backpack) for cleanups when regular rags aren’t available - the possibilities are almost endless.

Dandella GPS Wands

Dandella GPS WandsThis is one of those tech toys that’s so cool, it’s hard to even imagine.  They come as a set of two, and once they are turned on and activated, they phyically bend and point toward the other Dandella.  It’s great for keeping track of kids at the store or mall, or for couples to keep in contact at museums, travelling, or whatever.  It’s currently in development, and there’s no word on when they’ll be available to the public.  Let’s hope that it’s soon!
