1.
These glasses know exactly what’s inside
2.
Automatic shoe cover machine.
3.
A full face snorkeling mask that lets you breathe through your nose and mouth.

Buy this on Amazon for around $30
4.
A small library in the subway.

If you're using this library may we suggest spending $10 on Amazon for some hand sanitizer?
5.
A table that turns into a shelf in the blink of an eye.

This will run you $740 on Amazon.
6.
The 'Foldimate' machine will fold your clothes for you, and will set you back about $850 when it comes out "sometime in 2019".
7.
This levitating glass cup will set you back about $200 on Amazon.
8.
The cardboard tubes on the inside of these toilet paper rolls have barcodes that you can scan with the supermarket’s app to order new ones.
9.
“My hotel in Odessa (Ukraine) tells you which day it is by changing the elevator carpet every day.”
10.
A rocking bed. It seems that now we know exactly what we need in our dream bedroom. This amazing bed will run you about $4,500 on Amazon (they're currently out of stock).
11.
This escalator creates lanes on the escalator so those people who are in a hurry or prefer to walk up escalators don't get stuck behind people who prefer to stand.
12.
How can you not think about food sitting on a chair like this?
13.
The Starry Light Lamp will run you about $1,400 (wut?), but is a beautiful addition to any room. You can go to space by just turning on the light.
14.
These Plumen bulbs require 80% less energy but produce the same amount of light. Each of these bulbs will run you about $30 on Amazon.
15.
You thought that these were paintings? No, it’s a radiator that changes color depending on the temperature.
16.
The Tea Bag Buddy keeps your tea hot, can be used to squeeze the tea bag, as well as rest the tea bag on.

The Tea Bag Buddy will set you back about $7 on Amazon.
17.
The Power Aware Cord is a visual reminder of when electricity is being used. The intention was to help us waste less energy, and have made a really cool looking product in the process.
18.
This adorable Hedgehog Toothpick holder will set you back about $30 on Amazon.
19.
This Unicorn Sprinkle Shaker will set you back about $8 on Amazon.
