33 Insanely Clever Inventions You Wish You Owned
Take a look at what the gods of gadgetry gave us this year…
1. The Barisieur — Alarm Clock And Coffee Maker
Wake up to the smell of coffee brewing directly beside you. Yup: This is truly the best alarm clock in the world.
Just try to avoid a Michael Scott and the Foreman Grill incident.
2. Cumulous — Parasol
An umbrella that only inflates when the sun starts to shine: Imagine how wonderful it would be to see a fleet of these things surrounding a pool — the clouds blow away and then they start to bloom en masse. Amazing.
3. Mars By Crazy Baby — Levitating Bluetooth Speaker
The fact that it levitates is an insanely cool feature, but it’s actually for a practical reason: “360° sound projection reduces sound wave absorption into surfaces by levitating above the subwoofer charging station.” In layman’s terms: It makes music sound better.
4. Icybreeze — Portable Air Conditioner And Cooler
Regular coolers just keep your drinks cold; this one does that, but it cools you down as well. Summertime just got 100% less sweaty (for you and your bottles of beer).

Things you don’t want to hear: your husband’s snoring, your neighbor’s band.
Things you do want to hear: an emergency phone call, your alarm clock.
These earplugs will blot out the annoyances and let you focus on the things you actually want to hear.
8. Ritot — Projection Watch
The easiest (and most futuristic) way to check the time. The Ritot can also project text messages, emails, calendar and weather alerts, and Twitter notifications.
