Once in a while, you find a new gadget that you think it is a life changer. These products just solve all the problems that might have been bothering you for quite a while. These inventions can be so simple but no one decided to make it until now.
Certainly, most gadgets don’t meet this life changing, money diving level, but when a little creative innovation is applied to an everyday product making it so much better, it definitely belongs in your life. We’ve collected 36 new inventions that we wish we invented and should have probably been invented a long time ago.

Your dog looks up at you with those cute perky ears and bright eyes.

Fit All Your Plugs at Once With This Flexible Surge Protector

It can bend and curve and the individual outlets rotate in their positions, so that this Flexible Surge Protector can accommodate all your plugs, even those with giant adapters that normally hog two spaces. We all have surge protectors and power strips that are only half full because of the large plugs that don’t fit in next to one another. Those days are now behind us.

The Bath Overflow Drain Cover Effectively Raises the Level of Your Bathwater
via: Amazon
No one ever says, “I’d really like a shallow bath.” That’s because deeper is better. When it comes to baths, you want as much of your body to be under the water as possible. But our tubs are built with a pesky safety measure, which might be great for staving off floods, but doesn’t help in the deep bath department. And so some bather invented the Bath Overflow Drain Cover.

Lock Laces replace the laces in your shoes and still provide a customizable, adjustable fit.
Take the Guess Work Out of Turning on Your Lights With This Ceiling Fan Pull Chain
via: Amazon
We’ve all been there: we look at the two chains hanging from our ceiling fan light, wonder which is the right one, and then inevitably pull the wrong one. While statistics would have us believe there’s a 50% chance of picking the right chain on each occasion, it certainly feels like we pull the wrong one more often than not. Why didn’t anyone invent this Ceiling Fan Pull Chain sooner? It’s as handy as it is adorable.
These Wine Bottle Protector Sleeves Make it Easier to Stock Up at That Lovely Vineyard

Skip the Middle Man and Hook Your Soap Pump Directly to Your Giant Costco Soap Container With the Never-MT Soap Dispenser Kit
via: Amazon
We all do it: buy a large container of dishwashing soap and pour it into the little container attached to that handy pump by the sink. We pour carefully, ready to stop the moment it’s full, but invariably it overflows, and then overflows again when we put the pump part back in. It’s a mess and we need to refill it fairly often. Instead, some genius invented this Never-MT Soap Dispenser Kit. (Get it? Never MT, M-T, like empty?) Now you can hook up your sink-side pump directly to the large container of soap you bought!

When you plug this cable into your phone to charge it up, you had better prepare to be dazzled. A lovely blue light will start “flowing” down the cable to show that your phone is actively charging — but it’s more than just a pretty light show. As your phone continues to charge, the light will slow down. Once the phone is completely charged, the light shuts down, letting you know that you’re at 100 percent!

This listing is for eight small packets of Sugru. Each packet contains a small amount of moldable compound — the possibilities from there are pretty much endless.

There are few things quite as relaxing as enjoying a good foot soak, but arranging a bulky container in your living room can be a bit troublesome. For one, it is super heavy! You also run the risk of splashing water all over the place, which means you’re stuck cleaning up after your relaxing soak.
These boots are designed specifically to soak your feet without all of the annoyance of using a bin. Simply pour water into the boots, add your salts or oils or whatever you prefer, then cinch them closed around your calf. Easy peasy!

The Problem: You love dunking cookies in milk, but you hate getting your fingers soggy and milky (and I don’t blame you!).

It’s the first magnetic cookie dunking tool around, and it boggles the mind that something like this hasn’t existed sooner. Simply add the dunking box to the inside of your glass of milk and attach the magnetic handle to the outside. When it comes time to dunk, lower the entire box into the milk from outside the glass.
