    27 Futuristic Products That’ll Make You Feel Like You’re Living In 3023

    A pen that can write underwater, a floating nightstand, a face-cleaning brush that uses sonic pulsations to exfoliate, and other genius products that prove the future is now.

    1. A light saber umbrella so you can use the Force to fend off the rain.

    2. A rechargeable handbag light — now you'll be able to easily see everything that's hiding in the deep, dark depths of your tote. Plus, it doubles as a battery pack for on-the-go charging!

    3. A rechargeable sonic facial cleansing brush that gives off sonic pulsations to remove up to 99.5% of dirt, oil, makeup, and dead skin cells while providing gentle exfoliation.

    4. A motion-sensor toilet light because, in the future, you don't have to turn on the harsh, unforgiving light that'll wake you up completely when stopping by the bathroom in the middle of the night.

    5. A smart, reusable notebook that'll blast your handwritten notes and doodles straight to your preferred cloud service so you can save them forever. And once it's full, just throw it *in the microwave* to erase all of the pages at once so you can start fresh without constantly having to buy a new notebook!

    6. A video game-inspired necklace — it exudes an otherworldly glow so your friends will wonder if you're a time traveler from the future who is here to save the world.

    7. A motion-sensor trash can that'll smoothly and quietly open up with a simple wave of your hand so you can feel like a magician every time you have to throw something away.

    8. A pair of cyclops sunglasses for anyone who wants to block out harmful UV rays while looking like they're visiting from the year 3000.

    9. A tiny waterproof Bluetooth speaker that has no business sounding as incredible as it somehow does.

    10. A robot vacuum — it'll actually do an efficient job so you can do other things while it scoots around and does the work all on its own. Now this is the kinda future I can get on board with!

    11. A smart bottle attachment that'll be your little hydration helper by tracking when you take a sip of water and blinking to remind you when it's time to drink more to avoid the dreaded dehydration headache.

    12. An impressively detailed, dual color moon-shaped light to add a cozy lunar glow that'll make your space feel a lil' more soothing.

    13. A space pen – it can write at any angle, even upside-down! You can use it to write under water, in extreme temperatures, or even in zero gravity, if you find yourself often needing to jot something down in less than ideal conditions. In other words, yes it's basically that pen from Seinfeld.

    14. Some LED cloud lights because ~the sky's the limit~ when it comes to lighting options that can totally transform your home. Each cloud has eight different light settings (fade, flash, dim, etc.), is battery operated so there are no ugly cords to try and hide, and even includes a convenient timer.

    15. Or a magnetic balance light that looks like it was brought back in a time machine.

    16. A TikTok-famous bagless, touchless stationary vacuum to make you wonder why you ever owned a regular dustpan. No more bending over and transporting your filth to the trash can — now you can just sweep directly over to this ingenious device and watch it slurp up every last crumb.

    17. A LED shower head that'll brightly display the water temperature so you can stop scalding your hand trying to find the perfect heat level every time.

    18. A bidet because the time has come to ~bidet~ sincere farewell to fully relying on toilet paper. This attachment is easy to install (no plumber needed!), will help you cut down your TP usage, and will make you feel so much cleaner and refreshed after going #2.

    19. A makeup brush cleaner that'll do most of the work for you — and faster! It swirls your brushes in soapy water until leftover makeup, dead skin cells, dirt, and debris are gone, and then spins the brush until it's dry.

    20. A set of long-distance lamps so that every time you touch yours, theirs lights up, letting them know that you're thinking about them. It works the same way on their end too!

    21. A super cool floating bedside table — it takes up less space than a regular night stand and easily attaches to your bed frame so you can keep your essentials within reach at all times.

    22. A brilliant flexible universal tablet stand to hold up your tablet so you can keep your hands free! It's designed so you can use it while sitting, lying down, or even on uneven surfaces. Plus, the legs fold for easy storage *and* it kinda looks like a lil' robot pet who just wants to help out!

    23. A rapid egg cooker that'll take making breakfast for the whole family off of your to-do list! This impressive lil' device can make hard-boiled, soft-boiled, poached, and scrambled eggs in just minutes! It can even make an omelet if you wanna feel fancy without the extra effort.

    Promising review: "If you are on the fence about getting one of these, GET ONE. It really is as easy as it sounds to have a perfectly cooked egg, no guesswork. Soft-boiled eggs took me about 11 minutes to make. Just have an ice bath ready next to the cooker and let the eggs sit for a minute or two in there...peels come right off :) Makes healthy eating a breeze in the morning! Where has this been all my life!??!?" —rebecca

    24. An illuminated doodle pillowcase cleverly made to entertain your little ones while you take a much-needed break. Use any light source (or the included light pen) to draw on the cartoon cloud or heart, and your scribble will glow for five minutes or longer before gradually fading to make room for your next creation!

    25. A germaphobe-approved smartphone sanitizer that'll simultaneously sanitize *and* charge your phone! Forget about trying to wipe down every crevice with different cleaners and anxiously wondering if they'll mess up your screen or seep into the headphone jack. Just set your phone in this case, and the UV light will zap 99.99% of the uninvited germs clinging to your phone while the USB port gets you back to fully charged.

    26. A super-cool rechargeable, flameless electric lighter so you can stop running out of lighter fluid and doing all kinds of acrobatics to get your ancient gas station lighter to give you just one more flame.

    Check out what BuzzFeed editor Emma Lord has to say about it:

    "People also swear by this for camping! It comes in other pretty colors, but I am especially partial to this one because I bought it for my parents (their kitchen is entirely pink and one of my favorite places on Earth), and this was SO EASY to use — not to mention super safe! I'm a big weenie about fire (LOL, self-preservation) so I've always stuck to extended arm gas lighters, but this is much better for the environment (plus cuter), so I feel a lot better about using it."

    Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in five colors).

    27. And finally, some flat, wireless sleep headphones because trying to sleep with regular earbuds in is all fun and games until you roll over on your side. With these, you can stream audio via Bluetooth, block out external sound, and sleep much more comfortably than with tiny pieces of plastic pressing into your ears and tumbling out every time you change positions.

    Promising review: "I saw these on TikTok, and since I have so much trouble finding quality headphones I decided to try it. I’m very happy with the sound quality and comfort of these. I’m able to fall asleep to my music or podcast without having to limit myself to sleeping on my back or losing an ear bud in my bed in the middle of the night. It makes working out easier as well. The value is worth the quality. I would recommend." —Thunder Muffin
