Bicygnals help keep you safe on roads
Cyclists have the disadvantage of using their hands instead of signal lights while they’re on the road, and the Bicygnals help remedy that situation by featuring extremely bright LED front rear lights that are wirelessly connected via radio frequencies with unique built-in left and right indicators. At least you don’t have to flail your arms any longer while trying to weave your way through rush hour traffic. The creatively named Bicygnals retail for £39.95 from Halfords.

Famed maker of awesome Takara Tomy’s latest bundle of cool is a super cute air filter for babies. It’s outfitted with an antibacterial filter and Sharp’s “decontamination ion” purification tech (my AC in Japan actually had this too) so your offspring don’t inhale all the nasty, germ-y stuff floating around your house. It’s about $150 (17,640 yen), so it’s kind of pricey, but it’s smaller (115×80x140mm) and definitely packs in more cute per square inch than most air filters. [
The Mr. Light dawn/dusk simulating table lamp alarm clock surely takes the cake when it comes to aesthetically interesting electronics design, looking somewhat like an elongated 2G iPod nano on a stand. This device is not an MP3 player contrary to its appearance, but is actually an alarm clock that aims to wake you up/put you to bed in the most gentle manner possible, simulating both dawn and dusk with lights that increase or decrease in intensity gradually. While this isn’t the first of its kind in the market, it would surely warrant a place in most homes without objections from the missus. You can pick up this unique home improvement device for approximately $25.

This miniature piano looks like a music box at first glance, and upon closer inspection you’ll realize that it is actually a tiny CD player. The Cathay PK-24 desktop stereo disguises its playback controls as piano keys, while built-in speakers are located at the sides of the piano case. An integrated FM radio helps to keep you entertained whenever you’ve run out of CDs to listen to. Choose from black, white and hot pink colors. The Cathay PK-24 retails for a rather startling $173 a pop.
