Stem flavor spray makes cooking easier

We love discovering kitchen gadgets that make cooking that little bit easier, and one of our new favourite finds has to be the Stem spray from Quirky.
The bright little gizmo enables you to use juice from any citrus fruit in recipes by just pushing it directly into a fruit and then spraying it. How simple.
The Stem is currently being developed over at Quirky at the moment, so you'll be able to get your hands on one soon.

Is this the coolest thermostat you've ever seen?

We found this thermostat on Yanko Design's holiday gift guide and although we're not sure whether opening up a heating device on Christmas day would be any fun, you've got to admit it's probably the best looking thermostat you've ever seen, right?
The highly-anticipated Nest thermostats aren't available yet, but when they are they'll be around $249.

Snappy Dresser is your new personal stylist

Snappy Dresser is a unique wardrobe concept from designer Nelly Trakidou, which is built to suggest outfits for confused and irritated users who don't know what to wear.
It basically matches your clothes to certain situations. So maybe you once went hiking in a specific outfit, you'd tell the system that and it'll remember it and suggest that set of clothes again for similar activities.
If Snappy Dresser ever suggests a combination you really don't like then you can give your feedback and it'll learn from your mistakes. How clever!

SWAY: A rocking chair for couples

We love this very cute rocking chair design from Markus Krauss called SWAY, which allows two people to sway away, or just one greedy person to lay!

Philips creates indoor Urban Beehive concept

If you're fascinated by the thought of bee-keeping but live in the city, then Philips may have an innovative new solution for you, the Urban Beehive concept.
It may look like some kind of pod from Alien, but in actual fact the slick and futuristic device is a beehive, specially designed for urban living, with honeycomb layers and a smoke system to calm the bees down before you open the casing.
You can't keep bees in every state unfortunately, but if you're a New Yorker, it's legal and you can even attend special classes to learn how to do it properly!

Finder RFID locator finds your keys for you

Finder is a cool little device for those of you that are a little bit forgetful and misplace essentials, like your phone or your keys. Basically it's an RFID location device which consists of the main transparent terminal and a series of small tab stickers. You stick the tabs to things you're likely to misplace and then when you invariably misplace them a few days later, the main terminal will help you to find them.
The Zomm wireless leash is a similar concept, but it looks nowhere near as slick and sci-fi as the Finder.

LEDoor Handle

This clever door handle design ensures you always find your way to a door if you're stumbling around in the dark. However, it's also been specially designed in case you experience a blackout, so simply remove the handle and use it as a flash light.
It's charged by a dedicated battery, so don't worry about it being affected if you have any kind of electrical problems in your home either.
We clearly weren't the only ones who thought the LEDoor Handle was a brilliant idea as the designers behind the clever idea won the 2011 Spark Awards, which we hope means it's one step closer to being launched to consumers.
