LightSleeper

Wrote Jonathan Margolis in his "technopolis" column in the February 12, 2010 Financial Times "How To Spend It" magazine supplement, "The LightSleeper sits on your bedside table and projects a white blob, which moves around in a gentle, circular motion, onto the ceiling. Following this with your eyes supposedly encourages the mind to relax into sleep."

It was invented by a design student who suffered from insomnia, and reasoned that if you could mimic the action of reading without an actual book, it could help induce sleep.

Ergonomic Ice Tenderizer

When I first featured this device over four years ago it was known as the "Ice Dozer."

Kind of a dopey name, what?

From a website: "... has teeth that 'tenderize' and break ice, and a flexible blade for scraping it off the windows. The handle is designed to leverage your grip for the most impact on stubborn ice. Integrated brush attachment wipes away debris and snow."

Things change.

'History of Fashion' Tape Measure

So Vanessa Raphael.

From the website: "Sweet and fashionable graphics run down the length on one side of this beautiful tape measure. Starting with the coat, waistcoat, and breeches of the 1700s, you can travel through fashion history, in inches or centimeters, all the way up until the flowing, yet fitted, fabulous 1990s. While skipping right past the 80s."

59" (149cm) long.

Made in Italy.
