We asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us about some of the coolest gadgets they use every day. Here are some of their wonderful recommendations:
1. These SleepPhones that make it more comfortable to listen to your playlist as you drift off.
"Just got SleepPhones, which are headphones within a soft fuzzy headband for listening to music/podcasts while you fall asleep. I am literally incapable of falling asleep without a podcast, while my fiancé needs either light music or silence. These are so much more comfortable to wear than earbuds, she can't hear my podcasts at ALL, and the sound quality is amazing. It's only been two nights but I love them and have no idea how I lived without them, hahah!" —Kathleen M., Facebook
Get them from Amazon Canada for $42.99+. (Available in four colours and sizes extra-small, medium, and extra-large).
2. An endoscope to inspect those really hard-to-check-out areas.
3. This silicone garlic peeler for making quick work of tough cloves.
"For me, it's my silicone garlic roller. Pop a clove of garlic in, roll it on the counter for a bit, and out pops your peeled garlic! I make a lot of dishes with a lot of garlic, including homemade hummus, and I didn't know these things existed until a few months ago. It saves me so much trouble, and garlic smell on my hands!" —hordeoralliancewtf
Get it from Amazon Canada for $9.49.
4. This mug warmer that'll keep you from throwing out cold and old coffee.
"My all-time favourite must-have. The sheer amount of coffee I'd have wasted over the years is mind-blowing." —cr1stalfairie
Get it from Amazon Canada for $23.43.
5. A phone socket to create a comfortable hold on your phone.
"I'm sure someone else has already said this but I really love my phone socket — It's so handy!" —ileftmyheartinnarnia
"Phone sockets! They're these little plastic things you stick on to your phone case, and they pop up and down, which is great to fidget with. It's really helpful to hold your phone and wrap your earphones around it." —chartreuseq
Get a pack of six from Amazon Canada for $9.90 (available in various style combinations).
6. This colour-changing Bluetooth speaker for adding a nice ambiance to your bedroom.
7. This Victorinox pocket knife with everything you need (including a ballpoint pen).
"It has a knife, bottle opener, scissors, Phillips head, flathead screwdriver, nail file, LED light, and a RETRACTABLE BALLPOINT PEN! All in a ridiculously compact form factor. I'm reasonably sure I'll never have a set of keys without one of these on it ever again." —axj66
Get it from Amazon Canada for $19.98 (available in 25 colours).
8. This 3D pin art board for creating tactile impressions from any object.
9. A kneadable rubber eraser (basically an artist's fidget toy).
10. A digital coin counting jar to keep track of your loose change. And it takes Canadian coins, including toonies!
"A coin counter. Great for your kid's lemonade stands and an easy way to count up spare change!" —ehathawaymcbride
Get it from Amazon Canada for $30.
11. This knife sharpener that'll make quick work of any cutlery you have — big or small.
"Spyderco triangle knife sharpener. Eagle Scout-approved!" —chilosahatak
Get it from Amazon Canada for $99.99.
12. A fabric shaver to get rid of all those stubborn fabric pills that plague your favourite sweater.
"There's this thing called a fabric shaver, and it gets rid of all the pesky and rough pills/fuzz that show up on clothes, making them smooth again without harming the fabric." —katelinmcdougald
Get it from Amazon Canada for $16.98.
13. This headphone splitter so everyone can enjoy that YouTube video — quietly.
14. These lightsaber chopsticks that actually light up for battle against the grainy menace.
15. This portable humidifier that'll do your nose a favour and condition your surroundings.
"I got this humidifier that can attach to any water bottle and it's the most amazing thing I've ever purchased. I use it during the winter when the heating system makes the air in my bedroom extremely dry at night. I've had it for four winters now and I love it!" —mandyciampa
Get it from Amazon Canada for 22.99.
16. And a liquid motion desk toy you can't keep your eyes off.
"I was on vacation in France in 2002 (I was 7 or 8 back then) and I visited a local toy store multiple times because they had really cool stuff. But then, one day I saw a cylinder-shaped oil and water emulsion toy with spiral stairs inside that you can put upside down all the time and then you see little drops of blue oil rolling down in a spiral. It was so satisfying to watch, even better than a lava lamp! They had them in blue or pink. I wanted the blue one, but my mom didn't want to buy it for me. For years I was searching for it as a child but I never found it in another store, not even on my next visit to France. I was so in love with that thing...but one year ago at the end of 2016, I visited a store in my country that I've known for years, and there I found them! I was so happy to finally see them after years of searching that I almost cried, they even had one in purple! —s4ef321550
Get a pack of four from Amazon Canada for $24.99.
