Spegelzoom förstoringsglas för spegeln

Bathroom mirror magnifier.
Magnifiers lets one see details in one's face that one hardly knew existed. And sometimes even stuff you were better off not knowing about. But of course they are very handy when one's vision is no longer 20/20. This product is called Spegelzoom (Swedish only), and it is a pretty smart magnifying lens that attaches to any mirror with the integrated suction cup. The lens gives approximately 3X magnification and its inventor, Annika Winell, was nominated to the "Best female inventor" award in 2007 by the Swedish Inventor's Association. The Spegelzoom is SEK 895:- (about USD 132:-) on the company website.

Propane container handle

Propane container handle.
We are all surrounded with smart gadgets and inventions that we often take for granted and never think much about. When we were going to exchange our propane tank recently, it struck us we were actually holding one such invention in our hand. We have used this combined valve cover and carrying handle lots of times without thinking about its actual smartness. Instead of the ordinary valve cover you attach this handle and get a cover and a carrying handle all in one. We have no idea who the inventor is, but we want to extend our congratulations and thanks for a smart and useful invention.

Strandstol utan sits

Smartest beach chair?
The post on this pretty cool and clever beach chair is courtesy of a tip from Smart Stuff reader Rauz L. (thanks!) who found them on the Gadling travel blog. The two sticks or posts on the chair, or rather beach backrest, is pushed into the sand and that's it, folks! Consider the amount of unprintable language and injured hands you could safe by not having a folding chair. It should be easier to bring along to the beach, too. The "chair" is made of plastic, designed by Lawrence Laske, and available from Design Within Reach for USD 30:- a piece or 2 for USD 50:-.

Hammock with integrated tent from Tammock

Hammock with tent.
I think we've always wanted something like this. Ever since we learned about how the British SAS rigged their campsites during the colonial fighting in the jungles of Malaya, we have tried to do the same thing ourselves. First the hammock, the an extra rope above it, and finally a mozzie net and a rain cover. Sometimes it has even worked. Now everything is available in one neat package from Swiss Tammock. Hammock, mozzie net and tent. 2 kilos. EUR 250:- (approx. USD 335:-) from Tammock. [Via]

UPDATE 17 April 2007. Peter K. e-mails to let us know that Henessy Hammock have similar products and several different models between USD 80:- and 220:- Thanks, Peter, for your mail!
