17 Mind Blowing Inventions You Wish You Owned

People invent crazy gadgets all the time; some are quite out-of-the-box with no rhyme or reason for their creation. They often make you scratch your head in wonder. But, among the crazy inventions, there are also some pretty genius ones as well. We are always looking for things that will make our lives easier and in true form, these awesome devices will certainly do the trick. Here are 17 mind-blowing inventions you wish you owned!

Wearable Mouse

The Air Mouse Wireless wearable mouse was made by Canadian firm Deanmark Ltd. It works by aligning itself with the ligaments of your hand and wrist. It utilizes an optical laser and can run for a week without recharging.

Thanks to this wireless option much of the numbness and pain associated with a regular mouse can be avoided.

Waterproof Touchscreen Keyboard

How could you not think this is a super cool invention? I mean, come on, this is a touchscreen keyboard, and if you accidentally spill coffee on it you can just easily wipe up the spill and carry on with your work.

Light-Saber Toasting Knife

Throw out your bulky toaster ovens and get with the innovative lightsaber toasting knife. Yes, this is a knife that actually toasts the bread as you cut each slice. How genius is that?

Weight Watch Belt

I applaud the person who came up with the idea for the weight watch belt. If you really want to keep your diet and exercise regimen on track, then having a constant reminder that your waist is expanding is certainly one way to do it!

Two-Way Toothpaste

Thanks to Dominic Wilcox’ two-way toothpaste now you can squeeze from the top or bottom. The best part? Not one ounce of toothpaste will be wasted!

Suitcase Scooter

Farmer-turned-inventor, He Liangcai from China came up with the brilliant idea to create a suitcase scooter.

The speedy luggage can go up to 20km per hour. It has 6-hour battery life and can be charged via a regular wall plug. But that’s not all, this suitcase scooter also has a burglar alarm, a horn, and a GPS system.

Butter Stick

I applaud the person who decided to try and simplify the process of buttering bread.

Namely, Kenji Kawakami from Japan, who created this butter-stick which functions just like a glue stick!

Reusable Candle

This was developed by British designer Benjamin Shine, and is actually called the ‘Rekindle Candle.’ The pink candle is inserted onto a holder with a clear plastic tube below which collects the melted wax.


There is a hanging wick at the bottom of the tube and when the candle has been completely burned, the plastic tube casing can be removed and the wax turned upside down, producing a brand new candle.

USB Charging Batteries

Someone just made life a whole lot easier with these USB charging batteries. Who needs to find a plug when you can simply plug it into your laptop and you’re good to go!


These batteries recharge with any USB port and have a safety circuit which prevents overcharging.

Metal Detector Flip Flops

Truth be told, if you’re still searching for coins on the beach you might have a little too much time on your hands, but we all have our hobbies.

These metal detector flip flops have a coiled bit built into the sandal, and the battery that powers it is strapped onto your calf. The battery pack alerts you to items buried up to 2 feet below with a gentle vibration or buzz.

Smartphone Keyboard

Sometimes it can be quite difficult trying to punch, tap or swipe those tiny letters and symbols on your super sleek smartphone.

But now you don’t have to, at least not all the time. When you’re at home or work the smartphone keyboard definitely comes in handy.

And, there are different options available whether you prefer a fold-able keyboard that you can easily transport, or a multipurpose option that works with your tablet and smartphone, it’s really up to you.

Magic Wand Remote

Nope, this is not a magic wand — well I suppose it is to some extent. With the magic wand remote, you can use flicks of your wrist to change the channel and big sweeping moves to record your favorite TV show.

The wand can learn up to 13 commands from your old remote and you get to choose which moves control each command.

Touchscreen Gloves

You no longer have to worry about the annoyance of trying to use your cellphone while wearing gloves during the cold winter months.

Moshi has launched their ‘digits touchscreen gloves’ so you can stay warm and use your smartphone at the same time. The gloves are fleece lined and have a silicon grip pad so your phone won't slip out of your hand.

USB Microwave Oven

Okay seriously, when is this one coming out? I’m sure lots of us are waiting with bated breath.

This is the world’s smallest microwave oven, but the best part is that it works with a USB port making it perfect for your office desktop. So you can just plug it into your laptop whenever you need a warm treat.

American food company Heinz showed off the prototype for this invention, but they did not reveal when it will be on the market.

Smart Suitcase

Bluesmart is a smart suitcase that you can control from your smartphone. You can easily lock and unlock it from a distance. It also has a built-in digital scale that lets you know ahead of time whether your bag meets the airline’s weight requirement.

Cup-Holder Charging Station

Forget about car chargers or power banks, just opt for the cup-holder charging station instead.

This item is actually a cylinder-shaped charger that fits into your vehicle’s cup-holder, but what’s great is that it can quickly and easily charge your phone, tablet and even your camera; simultaneously.

Goggles Umbrella

This dome shaped umbrella covers your entire head and face, so no more wet hair or ruined makeup…hooray! And thanks to the strategically placed goggles you can safely navigate your way to wherever.
