Hair Guard - Rather than the noodle juice and noodle itself falling into your lap or splashing onto your blouse first, it commonly goes to the hair? Or perhaps this is to stop your hair from landing in your food? Either way, wearing this guard will have you looking like Weed from Bill and Ben.

Camera Umbrella – Taking pictures in the rain is actually a great thing to do as you play about with depths of field and speed settings. But the part where your camera gets wet isn’t fun. It’s not doable unless you want an expensive piece of equipment that doesn’t work. Why this umbrella hasn’t been available more widely is beyond me! Great idea!

Get A Grip – The wine glass holder makes sure wine won’t be wasted through the glass slipping from your fingertips! But who holds the whole stem of a wine glass like they're clinging to it for dear life? And why does the grip have to be so bold and childlike? It makes the whole ‘I’m drinking my wine from a wine glass’ thing look so unsophisticated.

Fart Pads – Yes. Fart pads. They’re not like whoopie cushions in the slightest but they instead deodorise any passing wind. From the quick wafts to the lingerers, the charcoal that is embedded in and around the pad neutralises the smell.  This is certainly a good way to save on your perfume or cologne and eliminate any embarrassment.

Thumb Thing – For all of the bookworms out there, this thumb thing is a great investment. You no longer have to faff about with keeping the pages flat as the thumb thing takes care of it for you. Thanks to this invention, it is now possible to enjoy your book in peace.

Whistling Key Finder – There are those times when you need to get out of the door asap and it simply isn’t possible. Or how about misplacing your car keys for the umpteenth time? Yes, we’ve all been there but, with the creation of the key finder, misplaced keys are a thing of the past! If your key finder is attached to your keys, simply whistle and wait for the beep. The closer you get, the more likely you are to see the flashing red light too... Or not.

Fish Training Kits – When you’re bored at home and you’re staring endlessly into the fish tank, what do you do? You might think about buying some more fish or feeding the fish you currently have. You might even think about cleaning it or you might, if you really have nothing to do, think about and decide to train your fish. Yes, train your fish at home! Train your fish to play football, how to shoot hoops and a few tricks in between. Who knew you could teach your fish so much?

Amstrad Phone – Of all the things Lord Sugar has thought up over the years, this certainly wasn’t one of his better ideas. The E-m@iler Plus phone that was great for both home and office, it was packed with great features that its owner would never come to use. Among its great attributes were the slide out keyboard, the ability to send mail and access the net without a computer and a range of polyphonic ringtones. This was the phone that had it all but gosh, wasn’t it a headache trying to use it!

Slap Chop – The perfect thing to have in your kitchen when you need to chop, dice, slice and mince quickly. Slap Chop does what you need it to in a matter of seconds with its different fixtures. One slap and you’ve chopped your whole piece of fruit, veg or nut into tiny little pieces. Slap again and it gets finer and finer and finer... what isn’t there to love about this creation?
