Gadgets and Gizmos

There is something about a normal appliance being given extra care on the design board. It makes me smile inside knowing something unique, funny or even ridiculous is hiding behind the corner of my kitchen counter or study table. Here are a list of brands to tickle your fancy. 




 Black+Blum

 
Black+Blum mixes modern design with a cheeky twist. It also an innovative brand when it comes to normal daily items that we tend to forget. Their motto is "combining ruthless practicality with a mischievous and intellectually-satisfying design aesthetic" which i think does sums up their overall design theory. They make everything from   the office to the kitchen appliances.

Renova

 Renova is a very unique store for your wiping needs. Whatever it may be. It gives a new meaning to daily mundane things. Though expensive for its purpose it is a great way to have when guest comes. It is about personalizing even the things we forget. They make from paper towel to toilet paper. I told you, every wiping needs. One thing is for sure though, that Renova would be a great conversational piece in every dinner parties. 



Click and Grow

This brand is for all those who loves to cook. Click and Grow is a modern way to have your own herb garden on your kitchen counter. Your chosen herb comes in a box where watering and fertilizing isnt necessary. Talk about +A for those germophobe out there. All you do is fill the water tank and put on some battery. And of course some light. Also, one good thing about this brand is that it isn't expensive at all. One basil is about $20 + shipping. They also have thyme, lambs ear and chili pepper plants.  I'm thinking about having a no mess herb garden right on my counter.

 
Hellolulu

 Hellolulu is an accessories paradise for the techie. Especially for anyone who loves photography. They cater to the accessories side of things. They have a wide range of colors for. camera straps, bags and everything else. Strolling along the park with a pink and quite comfortable camera strap is enough to give some passerby a look.


ZOKU
 
Zoku is a brand that capitalizes on people who loves colorful things in their kitchen. Their famous products are the Popsicle maker which the colors ranges from bright red to blinding neon yellow. I find their accessories to be have a fun wimsy look to it. The colors the shapes the everything screams summer with ZOKU products. 




Here are a few products to incite creativity wherever you may be. Ill be posting more once I find some more cool stores. Have a good one!!
