Having a communication device on you like your mobile phone can get you out of the trickiest of situations.

Fear not, we have just the gadget for you!

What’s more, it not only powers devices but also permits radio and flashlight use during emergency situations. One minute of twisting the knob gives 10-15 minutes of radio and flashlight use.

     THE ILLUMY SLEEP MASK

    A gadget that helps ease irregularities in sleep

    BLUETOOTH MUSIC HEADBAND

    Convenient for work heavy lives

    Millions of varieties of earphones exist in the market catering to the most bizarre of needs. While being a saturated market indeed, one can agree that there is still room for improvement in the convenience aspect of earphones or variations of the same. When getting down to do jobs that are physically taxing and rugged in nature, earphones might not prove to be the most comfortable gadgets to work with. The wires flop around everywhere and hardly stay where they need to be, inside your ears. If not, they almost certainly cannot hold up to the force that comes with certain jobs.
