04. YoYo Mat by Aaron Thornton & Yu Tsai
It’s a good thing you’ve already meditated first, because rolling up a yoga mat after you’re done is frustrating AF. It’s also a good thing the YoYo Mats don’t need rolling up. Just flip the mat over and it magically rolls itself up (correctly) every time! Yes. Magically!

07. Home Aquaponics Fish Tank by Back to the Roots
Designed to mimic a natural ecosystem, the Home Aquaponics Water Tank creates a wonderful self-sustaining ecosystem where an aquarium and terrarium live off each other’s waste, beautifully displaying the relationship between flora and fauna. Not just your ordinary fishbowl the Home Aquaponics Fish Tank can serve as your own mini-kitchen herb-garden too! The system creates a closed loop where the fish waste becomes a natural fertilizer for the plants, who in turn clean the aquarium, providing the fish with pristine filtered water. Available with its own set of organic seeds, you can grow sprouts and herbs of your own to use in your meals!

08. Handpresso by Handpresso
Literally the size of a deodorant spray-can, the Handpresso is a full-fledged espresso machine that’s pretty much as portable as a sachet of instant coffee, meaning you won’t have to settle for crappy coffee on the go anymore. The Handpresso just needs to be filled with hot water and coffee grounds and it vacuum brews a nice, creamy shot of Espresso. Then it simply slides back into your handbag or backpack! Now isn’t that just convenient!?
