1. Clocky Alarm Clock On Wheels - Link


Wheeled alarm clock that rolls off bedside table beeping, and scoots away. I quoted this line from the product description and it describes this thing perfectly. For all the lazy people(like me), this one sure comes as a blessing. And its fun too.

The alarm goes off once, but if you hit snooze, Clocky jumps off your nightstand, and wheels around your room looking for a place to hide before it sounds the alarm a second time. The snooze time is totally customizable. Here's Clocky in action.



2. Mr. Coffee Mug Warmer - Link

3. NFL Protoast Toasters - Link

We all have heard about toasters atleast once in our lifetime, right?? They  all work the same and I have no problems with them. But how about a toaster with a slight twist. A toaster that makes a toast with your favorite NFL team impression on it. Have a look at this pic.






4. Hexbug Original - Link

This is a micro robotic creature that behaves like a bug. So what do I mean when I say it behaves like a bug.? Well think about it like this. You turn it on, and it will run around your house just like actual bugs do. According to some of the reviews on amazon, it also responds to touch and sound. But with some mixed reviews on amazon, I wouldn't recommend you to buy it. But this sure is a pretty innovative idea.

5. Kymera Magic Wand Remote Control - Link

For all harry potter fans, this one would come both as a shock and a surprise. Kymera magic wand allows you to control anything that can be remote controlled with some simple wand gestures. So you want to change the current program on your TV, just flick your magic wand towards the right and the channel magically changes. The surprising thing is that it works pretty accurately.

It can also be used to control your iPhone or even your lamp(though that will require some other special instruments). Here's a video showing Kymera Magic Wand in action




6. Kensington Mini Battery Extender and Charger for iPod and iPhone - Link

This small battery extender allows you to Power and charge your iPhone or iPod on-the-go, and enjoy an extended playtime of up to 30 hours of music; 6 hours of video; or 3 hours of talktime.

Is it worth the price?? If you are a heavy user of your iPhone plus you travel a lot, I would highly recommend it. Otherwise you may struggle to find mush use to it. Still if you have some spare money to spend, it could definitely save your day in case of an emergency.



7.Coby 1.8-Inch Digital Photo Keychain - Link

This thing is cute. Basically its a simple keychain with a 1.8 inch LCD screen on it that could save and display 50 of your most favorite pics. Transfer pictures of your loved one's onto it, and they will be with you all the time. At a price of 10$ its a must have. Pair it with Lacie imAkey Pen drive and you would have the coolest Keychain someone could ever have.

8. 12oz Stainless Steel Stir Mug - Link

Another lazy man's dream gadget. Are you tired of continuously stirring your coffee mug to get the perfect taste. Why waste your energy doing such an unproductive thing, when you can buy yourself this self stir mug, that well automatically stirs your mug with the push of a button. With a lot of positive reviews about in on amazon, I would highly recommend it in case you were looking for something like this.

9.True Utility Telescopic Pen - Link

The name may sound a bit confusing to some of you. I mean no you can't look into planetary objects using this pen. Its a simple portable pen that extends upto  115 mm when fully expanded, from a mere 50 mm length when its closed. You could imagine how small it would be at a length of just 5 cm.

Its something you could carry easily with you at all times. And again at a price of just 7$, it comes with 3 refills, and is sure shot a bargain. What's more?? It looks so cool. When you are not using it for writing stuff, you could just play around with it and show it to your friends(to make them jealous of course)

Did I mention that you could attach it to your keychain??

10. Celluon Laser Projection Keyboard - Link




I provided the link to the video first because this one is a bit hard to explain, with words alone. Its a laser projection keyboard that provides you with a virtual keyboard, which you could pair up with a range of devices. Its highly portable and works close to perfect.

Compatible with a wide range of devices including the one's running iOs 4 or later, Android devices and Windows desktops, this small little device projects a full blown keyboard on any surface you would like. The best thing about this device that its really small and thus could be carried away easily. And it works pretty well too. With a price tag of 170$, it may be a bit too much for the average users. But if you travel a lot and own any tablet like the iPad or maybe an iPhone this could be worth the money.

11.Spy Gear Lie Detector Kit - Link


fun lie detector kit innovative

Lie detectors aren't fake. They actually work. Although they may not give 100% true results at all times but they still give acceptable results. While a modern lie detecting kit may cost you a fortune, this small lie detecting kit from Spy Gear costing less than 10$ will surely provide you some fun moments.

It works by analyzing the skin surface moisture to tell if the suspect is saying the truth or not. All you have to do is ask your friend to put there two fingers in the kit. After reading some reviews about this product, I can comfortably say that it works pretty good. No its not 100% accurate but it works most of the time:D 

I guess it could be a great gift for children.

So what do you think about these gadgets?? Did you find these innovative and useful. Also if you are aware of any other fun innovative gadget that should have made this list, please mention it in the comments section below. I am looking forward to make a part 2, and if the gadget you recommended is fun, innovative and useful, I will surely include it in there.

Thanks for reading...
