Some wines need to be taken at a certain temperature, where only the full range of flavors would be able to be enjoyed. Well, for those of you who do not happen to own a wine cooler of your own and are in the market to pick one up, how about getting something that is out of the ordinary, and yet affordable enough that it will not burn a huge hole in your bank account? We are referring to the $59.99 Chillpod Wine Bottle Quickchiller, where this portable solution will be able to chill wines faster than the fridge, not to mention requiring far less hassles to clean it up compared to the old standby, the ice bucket.

In fact, the Chillpod Wine Bottle Quickchiller will be able to fit all commercial 750 ml wine bottles as well as many other shapes, making it ideal for picnics, barbecues, and celebrations. Forget about those who drink beer and have their fair share of technological advancements in this department – it is time for wine lovers to shine. The Chillpod Wine Bottle Quickchiller comes across as a sleeve that you stick in your freezer, where it will chill your bottle to the perfect temperature a whole lot faster than a fridge can, while insulating the bottle so it remains at the perfect temperature. Apart from that, it provides the bottle an integrated handle that makes it a whole lot easier to pour out, not to mention a sturdy stand on the table so that the chances of its contents spilling would lessen by a mile.

Something that goes hand-in-hand with having a bathroom is dealing with unpleasant smells. It’s wholly natural, and we can’t do much in the way to part these two things, but we can certainly do our best to rid the room of bad smells as quickly as possible. There are wall plugs, candles, sprays, and more, but they’re always so obvious.

If you want to go for more of a subtle way to empty a space of harsh odors, then why not try the Muji Toilet Paper Roll Air Freshener? It might look like a roll of toiler paper, but it’s secretly hiding an air freshener that will burst your preferred scent into the air every thirty seconds, and stops doing so after ten minutes. It will need 4 AA batteries to function, and will likely need refills every once in a while.

Of course, there are many drawbacks to having an air-freshener that’s shaped like a roll of toilet paper in the bathroom. Let’s say you forget to stock up some extra TP, and think that you’re fine and dandy when you see this thing and think it’s just another roll. Your bathroom might smell nice, but you’ll come to hate this if you can’t keep on top of restocking your toiletries. In addition to costing you $42, this is also a new form of air freshener which will require a specific type of refill. It’s probably cheaper to stock up on candles or buy wall refills of whatever you already have in bulk.

Every season, there will be a new digital camera that rolls out to the masses. After all, you can’t be using the same shooter all the time, can you? Actually you can for a fair number of years, but the consumer electronics companies want you to think otherwise.

We spend a lot of time lounging around the house with our tablets, phones, or laptops. If they’re not plugged directly into a power source, then you’re going to have to find one after a while. More often than not, this means relocating from the space you’ve already snuggled into, and acclimating to your new surroundings.

Of course, this isn’t a huge deal in the broad spectrum of life, as it usually just means moving a few feet. However, this is more than annoying if you’re on a roll with working on your tablet, where moving means losing your train of thought, or worse, being in the middle of your favorite show at a climatic part, and your tablet dies. Should you want to avoid changing spaces, then the Power Pillow will make sure that you can plant your rump meat and stay in the same spot for much longer then on the battery life of your gadget alone.

In essence, this is a pillow with a zipper pocket that holds a backup battery. They’ve made a variety of colored or patterned coverings the pillow can come in, but overall it is a simple idea. Of course, how many of us are going to make a pillow with a zippered pocket and separately purchase two extra batteries? Putting down $125 for this crowdfunding campaign will get you two 12,000mAh batteries which can be charged via mircoUSB, and the pillow.
