1. Smart irrigation system

A water pump with a set of accessories that will help organize automatic watering of all indoor plants in the house. After a simple assembly and connection of the tubes to the pegs in the flower pots, the device starts drip irrigation. The amount of water and the supply interval are set in a special application on the smartphone.

2. Alarm-mat

An effective alarm clock for those who find it difficult to get up in the morning. The clock is built into the soft mat and shows the time on the LED display. To turn off the signal, you need to stand on the mat with both feet for 5 seconds. All settings are made using the buttons on the back. Powered by three AAA-batteries, they last about six months.

3. Mouse in the form of a gamepad

A wireless mouse that will appeal to fans of retro games and everyone who is nostalgic for the NES console. The manipulator follows the controller's design exactly - from colors to plastic textures. The left and right mouse buttons are made in the form of buttons A and B, the side - in the form of a cross. The device is compatible with Windows and macOS. You can also buy a themed rug from the seller.

4. Xiaomi automatic corkscrew

An indispensable device for all wine connoisseurs, which will significantly speed up the process of uncorking bottles. All you need to do for this is cut off the label with a knife from the kit, put the gadget on the neck and press the button. After a couple of seconds, the metal spiral will take out the cork, and the backlight color will change from blue to red, indicating that you can start tasting.

The corkscrew is charged from microUSB using the supplied cable. The capacity of the battery is enough to open 70 bottles, while a short 5-minute refill is enough to open 10 bottles.

5. Guitar Chord Trainer

An interesting tool for novice guitarists that will help you memorize basic and more complex chords. In the open state, it is a neck with six frets and a screen instead of a head. The latter can be turned towards you for convenience. The display shows a diagram of the selected chord or their sequence: guided by the prompts, you need to clamp the strings, training left hand motor skills and memory.

6. Lock with fingerprint scanner

An ordinary-looking padlock is equipped with one of the most advanced authentication methods - a fingerprint sensor. The lock is closed by simply snapping the shackle, but to open it, you need to touch the window on the front panel with your finger.

Up to 10 prints can be stored in memory, so that's enough for the whole family. Powered by a built-in battery, charging from microUSB, hidden under a rubber plug at the well site.

7. Column-headphone

A very unusual Bluetooth speaker in the form of a giant AirPods earphone. The design is copied to the smallest detail - the only difference is the control buttons and connectors for USB-flash drives, charging and memory cards. In addition to playing via Bluetooth 5.0 and from external media, the speaker also allows you to listen to FM radio and answer calls using the built-in microphone. The power is 5 W, the battery capacity is 1200 mAh.

8. Smart ear stick

Advanced medical device for ear hygiene. The stick is equipped with 12 nozzles of various shapes for cleaning, and in order not to act blindly, also a miniature video camera. Videos from it are broadcast to a smartphone and saved in the application. Looking at the reviews, be careful: users are so delighted with the capabilities of the endoscope that they stick it not only in their ears.

9. Toilet bowl disinfectant

A special UV lamp for disinfection of the inner surfaces of the toilet bowl. It has a streamlined waterproof case that fits into the cover, which in turn is attached from the inside to the toilet lid. The disinfection process starts twice a day with the lid down. Also, due to the release of ozone during operation, all unpleasant odors go away. In this mode, the built-in battery is charged for 1, 5 months, after which the lamp should be removed from the case and recharged.

10. Water repeller

A cunning trap will come in handy for the owners of suburban areas: it will help drive uninvited guests out of the garden or lawn. The device is installed in a place from which the "protected area" is clearly visible, and is connected with a hose to the water supply.

Then, as soon as an animal enters the field of view of the motion sensor, the nozzle throws out a powerful jet of water, frightening off the intruder. The sensor settings allow you to set the sensitivity and operating mode.

11. Wooden USB stick

USB sticks in natural wood cases. To be more precise - in the cuts of thick branches, which, for all their primitiveness, are not devoid of a certain charm. The capacity of the modules is from 4 to 256 GB, but, given that flash drives only support the USB 2.0 standard, it is not very advisable to take large-volume models. There are four types of wood to choose from.
