If you’re harboring any doubt about my title, think about this, when was the last time you really felt like working when you are stuck in a not so cool environment? You most probably would have spent more than 50% of the time finding files to fan yourself than doing the actual work at hand.

Designed by Elecom, the metallic look of the fan makes sure it will never look out of place beside your notebook or working desk. Other than having a bendable body for flexible adjustment, the next most noticeable aspect of the fan is its control box.

Although it looks like one of those bomb detonator switch, you can rest assure that it’s only meant to act as a switch for the fan. So, if you’re looking to keep yourself cool and increase your work productivity, you can grab one of these at an affordable11.49 USD over at Strapya.

I think its fair to say that there are quite a fair amount of clever inventions in the world and while there are some that are really clever and nice, there are others that are clever but weird.

With no further ado, I shall lay out these 5 very interesting inventions.

CUP COOKIES

First up, here’s a smart cup in which you can put 2-3 of your favorite cookies. You don’t need extra plates and it’s made for right and left handed. Perfect for times where you want to have your tea break discretely.

Just faced the cookie portion towards your desk partition where someone’s around and when they are all gone, you’re free to enjoy your favorite cookie.

BANANA GUARD

Second on the list does seem to be a little weird but nevertheless, it could still prove to be useful if you’re a avid banana eater. I’m sure that there are times where you’ve always enjoy bringing a banana to your workplace or school to eat after a meal only to feel frustrated when you realized that it’s bruised and squashed within your bag.

LOCK-CUP

Are you tired of others stealing your coffee cup? Well now there’s a solution. The Lock - Cup has a hole which prevents most people from using it. Only the owner of the cup can use his/hers shaped key to close the hole.

Well, just be sure to remember where you keep your key.

TRANSPARENT TOASTER

For most people, it’s always rush hour in the Morning because you wake up late and you’ve got tons of stuffs to prepare. Stuffs like making your breakfast, bathing and doing up yourself. Most of us would be multi-tasking and everything is usually fine and dandy except for your toast bread.

Now admit it, out of the many times you toast a bread, how many of it were actually burnt because of over toasting. Now, things will be totally different if you got this transparent toaster that allows you to see the bread while it is toasting so you just have to take it out when the color is right.

This idea is based on a transparent heating glass technology and it’s a clever one.

This ingenious butter cutter delivers one standard pat with each click of the handle. Thumbs up to this one.

Christmas Ornaments That Works Like Magic

Christmas is just around the corner and it’s about time to start shopping for nice looking deco. With all the nice looking deco out there, I’m pretty sure that the Christmas Ornaments will stand out like a star.

Imagine this, you only need to put water into the dish and it will slowly transform itself into a traditional tree/snowman Christmas decoration. Ok, truth to be told, there is actually no magic involved, just very clever use of a special fluid.

The deco actually comes packaged as folded-up papers in a petri dish and to make them grow into shape, you only need to pour some water into the dish and wait for a couple of hours. As mentioned by another commentor, if you’re planning to get one of these, its best you put them in a ventilated area as the fluid gives a very strong vinegar smell.
