Handy. Creative. Useful. And AFFORDABLE! That’s what ran through my mind as I was going through the items on this list of clever inventions. Oh, and cute! Nothing bulky, ugly, or awkward made the list. The clever inventions on this list will have you thinking one of two things: Why didn’t I think of that? OR Boy, do I need one of the those!
No more envying your neighbor’s perfect fruit displays! No more wondering where did she find that darling solar lantern! I’m giving you the inside scoop (pun intended) on all the cool tools-like easy melon ballers, flexible candle lighters, and re-useable notebooks. Now these aren’t your granny’s kitchen tools, these are creative cute inventions with a twist and you’ll question how you lived without them!
I bet your friend who has everything doesn’t have these clever inventions (0r she beat you to my list)! So grab one for you and throw one in the cart for her, too.

When you are up and down to the bathroom multiple times a night, you don’t want to fool with lights. These toilet night lights help you or your little ones find the potty without lighting up the whole house. The best part? Being able to change the color every night!
Clean hats keep their form
Baseball cap, snapback, fitted hat-whatever you call it. My family has quite a few.
I may or may not have tried washing one in the regular wash. Whoops! I wish I had this baseball cap washer net to make sure the hat kept its shape.

Clip on bedside table
I find myself laying at the opposite end of the bed quite often. And end losing all sorts of things in the blankets. This handy clip on bedside tray would save me the hassle and keep crumbs out of the bed. Not mine, my significant others, of course.

Light up the night LED style
Solar powered pop up lanterns to light up the night. Sounds like an oxymoron right?!
But it’s true and available with various LED color options.
Keep couches clean and snacks handy
No matter how many times I ban eating in the living room, my family always does it anyway. To safe my sanity (and my couch from crumbs and spills), I ordered these slide on bamboo couch trays. The family gets to eat their snacks and I don’t have to hoover the couch–as often.

Inflatable flight comfort
As comfy as travel pillows are, they are just as bulky. You already have your hands full with luggage. Next flight, grab these easy to use inflatable neck pillows instead. They are easy to inflate, deflate, and fold to your comfort.
Hands free carrying
If you are anything like me, you will do anything to avoid multiple trips to the car. Keys in your mouth, bags on your back & under your arms, and the biggest one clenched in your hand. The click & carry bag carrier helps you carry all the bags but keep your hands free!
No more fighting the flame
I can’t be the only one who gets tired of the flame going out just as I reach that tiny wick at the bottle of a candle jar. Thanks to whoever invented this candle lighter. It’s unique design allows the flame to make it safely to the wick.
