1. PRODUCTIVITY BOOSTING NAP POD

Power Naps have been proven to boost productivity efficiently. Aitliough it is always a challenge to not fall back asleep after a 20-minute nap, you will be rewarded for your restraint. The Pod is cushioned for comfort and has a spherical dome for privacy. A timer can be set for a 20-minute nap and slowly brightening lights and vibration gently wake nappers. Music can be played through a built-in speaker or headphone jack. Of course, the question remains as to whether it is wise to spend USD16,000 for perfect power naps.




2. WINDOW WASHING ROBOT

Introducing the world's first robot that automatically cleans glass of any thickness. This robot is equipped with a powerful internal vacuum pump which seals onto the glass while anti- slip thread is driven by two motors so that the robot will not fall while it is cleaning. The Window Washing Robot chooses the most efficient route to clean the glass by calculating the glass size. If you have been planning to join the window cleaning profession, start thinking of another career.


3. NDUR SURVIVAL STRAW

Bear Grylls, the adventurer of the television series 'IVIan VS Wild', is well known for drinking his own urine in almost every episode to survive in the wild. If only he forked out USD30 for an NDuR Survival Straw, he could avoid resorting to drinking his own urine. This straw is not an ordinary one, of course. It is a very effective filtration tool that eliminates up to 99.99% of harmful bacteria, chemicals, viruses, you name it. This is definitely something I'd bring with me on every outdoor

4. BIOFEEDBACK POSTURE TRAINER

Slouching is not only seen as an unattractive habit, it is also the cause of various health problems such as back and breathing problems. Even if you have a very high level of discipline, it can be a real challenge correcting your posture. The Biofeedback

Posture Trainer should make this a lot easier. This device is worn like a backpack to help the user develop a good posture.

Every time the user slouches, the device will buzz and vibrate to alert the user. It might be annoying at first but the results are definitely worth the struggle and certainly more presentable than walking around balancing books on your head.



5. SOLAR POWERED CAT TANTALIZER

A cat tantalizer is a great toy for keeping your cat occupied and for it to practice its hunting skills. It is always better to keep your cat busy when there is no one at home to prevent it from tearing up your couch and what not. Instead of getting a regular cat tantalizer, why not get solar powered one? The Solar Powered Cat Tantalizer moves when it is struck by sunlight, causing a dangling plastic ball with colourful feathers to sway and bounce. It is about time for you to give your fat cat some exercise.




6. TONY STARK LIGHT-UP LED IRON MAN SHIRT

Since the screening of the first Iron Man movie, many people have been intrigued by Tony Stark's arc reactor which powers his Iron Man suit and prevents shrapnel from reaching his heart. After the success of all three movies, I'm sure that many people wouldn't mind owning this shirt at all. The fact that it is powered by three AAA batteries does make me question the comfort of the shirt though. But who cares? As long as you can look a little like the billionaire playboy philanthropist you could only dream of becoming, three batteries dangling somewhere on your shirt is a small price to pay.
