The pace of our daily lives has increased exponentially in recent years, but so has the advancement of technology. Conveniently enough, this has resulted in the creation of many gadgets that aim to save us time and make life easier. In this post, we’ll take a look at 11 of them, particularly those that don’t cost a fortune.
The Credit Card Knife
You never know when a knife might come in handy, especially one that features a variety of additional tools in one tiny package. This post details the best credit card knife that money can buy along with a few competitors. As its name would suggest, they’re no bigger than a credit card, making them easy to stash in your wallet and carry around anywhere.
Insiq Bluetooth Speaker
While we’re on the topic of tiny gadgets, the Insiq X-Mini Bluetooth speaker is well-deserving of a mention. It’s not much bigger than a quarter, but still offers crisp audio quality and punchy bass. With a 30-foot range and a selfie button, you can also use it as a remote shutter key.
Essentials Organizer Case
Tired of hearing your daily stuff bounce around in your backpack? The organizer case by GRID-IT aims to solve this by providing a versatile set of elastic straps to keep your headphones, power bank, pen, camera and any other doodads in place. Since you can choose which straps to use, just about anything will fit snugly.
eTape Digital Measuring Tape
Home improvement and DIY projects often require the highest level of precision – something a traditional tape measure isn’t all that great at offering. But this is the digital age, so it should come as no surprise that there’s a tech-driven solution to this problem. The eTape will ensure that your measurements are accurate to the millimeter.
Car Seat Gap Filler
We’ve all been there – you’re leaving your car and it seems as if your phone or wallet has suddenly disappeared off the face of the earth. Chances are, it fell between that universally irritating gap between your car seat and the center console. Fortunately, a car seat gap filler will solve this problem for good.
Bag Sealer
Stale snacks are no good, and rolling up those crisp packets barely seems to keep them fresh for longer. The bag sealer will ensure that your favorite snacks retain the same shelf life they had before you opened the packet, allowing you to say goodbye to soggy crisps forever.
BellFyd Tactical Pen
BellFyd’s take on the pen is more like the type of gadget you’d see in a Bond movie than something to take notes with. While you can use it to write, this pen also features an LED flashlight, screwdriver, glass breaker, serrated knife, bottle opener, scraper and a wrench.
It also makes for a reliable and compact self-defense weapon in the event that some super-villain’s goons start chasing you through the casino. Despite its fairly low price, the tactical pen is made of a durable military-grade tungsten steel for extra cool factor.
Hairby Exfoliator
If you’re a skincare addict, you’ll know that good exfoliating creams and scrubs can set you back a pretty penny or two. Save some time and money by investing in the Hairby exfoliating gadget, which features a durable silicone surface and a sonic vibrating action to provide a deep clean of your pores. Since it’s USB rechargeable, you can take it anywhere.
Bade Jar and Bottle Opener
Whether your significant other seems to have closed your Coke bottle to the point of no return, or that pesky pickle jar is once again standing in your way, the jar and bottle opener by Bade is here to solve some of life’s biggest irritations. It’s super flexible, allowing you to use it on just about anything, and provides superior gripping power for minimum effort.
MW Gears Microwave Bacon Cooker
Bacon is a universally delicious food, but all that oil isn’t exactly great for your health. Fortunately, this gizmo by MW Gears will allow you to enjoy the goodness of up to 8 strips of bacon using nothing more than a microwave. It also features a handy tray to prevent any grease from oozing away.
Tabletop Crumb Sweeper
You’re probably already familiar with the Roomba robot vacuum cleaner, but what about all those crumbs on the table? For those times when you’re feeling extra lazy, the tabletop crumb sweeper robot is here to alleviate the effort of picking up light debris. It’s super compact, allowing you to bring it along when you’re traveling.
It seems that for just about every small problem that we face on a daily basis, a technological solution is available to solve it. Since most of them will only set you back a few bucks, it won’t be long before your home starts looking like a Silicon Valley lab. But worry not, as the time and energy you’ll save will be well-worth it.
