    14. A Thaw Claw because we've all forgotten to defrost something while embroiled in a work task, and then panicked over not knowing what to do for dinner. Suction it to your sink, fill it up with water, nestle the food underneath, and watch it defrost seven times faster.

    15. A vibrating alarm clock for those sharing a bedroom who don't want to disturb their partner. Traditional alarms are abrasive, all it takes is some vibrations to rouse you just as quickly.
