Problem: Hand-washing dishes is outdated, messy, and inefficient, with reliance on sponges and manual scrubbing.

Concept: Innovative kitchen appliance that automates dishwashing without needing a full dishwasher — a middle ground between manual washing and a traditional dishwasher.

Problem: Favourite hats wear out and don’t always match every outfit or occasion. People don’t want to wear the same hat or logo every day.

Solution: A base hat that fits perfectly, combined with a modular logo system—users can slide different logos or patches onto the hat to change its appearance without needing multiple hats. Inspired by old Nike cleats that had interchangeable swooshes.

Concept: A versatile fashion accessory that maintains comfort and fit, but offers customisation and variety. Potential for team branding, event merch, or mood-based personalisation.

Concept: A niche personal oral accessory for frequent popsicle eaters who want comfort and cleanliness—possibly a novelty summer item.

Solution: A party game based on watching Love on the Spectrum. Every time a person on the show says they like something you also like, you take a shot. It sparks funny and revealing moments among friends.

Concept: A social, feel-good drinking game that encourages self-awareness, bonding, and a touch of wholesome chaos. Could expand into other shows or a broader game format.

Problem: Trying out a new look (e.g. a bandana or bold fashion choice) often leads to unwanted attention, awkward comments, or having to repeatedly explain yourself to everyone.

Solution: A memo or automatic notification system that alerts your friends, co-workers, or family that you’re trying something new with your appearance and don’t want to discuss it. It manages social expectations and normalises experimentation without needing validation or explanation.

Concept: A playful, self-aware social tool—possibly a digital product or wearable tech plugin—that reduces anxiety around self-expression by “pre-clearing” fashion changes. Could work as a novelty app or Slack/Teams integration.

Problem: Eating from small individual cups (yogurt, applesauce, oats) is awkward. The cups tip over easily, especially with metal spoons, causing spills or frustration.

Solution: A weighted base or stabilising accessory for one-serving cups. Either the cup itself is bottom-weighted, or it fits into a reusable apparatus with suction or adhesive grip. Could include smart suction like those in water bottles or baby bowls.

Concept: A practical kitchen accessory for breakfast and snack lovers. Designed for convenience, stability, and frustration-free eating—especially for people eating on the go or at desks.

Problem: Bars need clever promotions to attract customers, but traditional offers like “buy one, get one free” can be costly or predictable.

Concept: A low-cost, viral marketing tactic for bars that gets people in the door with humour, rewards them with a sidecar, and creates a fun, memorable experience. It relies on playful deception turned into delight.

Solution: Smart contact lenses that connect to your ears and allow you to watch TV or listen to other media during meetings—while automatically transcribing the meeting and summarising key points.

Concept: A discreet, futuristic productivity hack to make boring meetings bearable. Pitched as a compromise: you give 30 minutes of your day—but only mentally clock in when needed.

Problem: Regular pants don’t adapt to different occasions or climates—you have to choose between comfort, formality, or warmth.

Solution: A modular pant system that lets you peel off layers: outerwear (e.g. corduroy), business casual (khakis), casual (jeans), loungewear (sweats), or even shorts. Change on the fly without needing a change of clothes.

Concept: The Swiss army knife of trousers. Ideal for travellers, commuters, or the indecisive dresser. Slightly ridiculous, but packed with potential.

Problem: Boring rooms lack personality, but redecorating with physical art or furniture is costly and inflexible.

Concept: A flexible, immersive decor solution that lets users change the vibe of a room instantly. Ideal for renters, commitment-phobes, or imagination-driven interior design. Think of it as a living mood board for your environment.

Problem: Writing a personal card is surprisingly hard—even for people you care about. Remembering inside jokes, shared memories, and what to say can be stressful and time-consuming.

Concept: A digital tool that automates the emotional labour of card writing. Hallmark meets AI—removes the pressure while keeping the sentiment.

Concept: A self-improvement tool that merges fan culture with behavioural design. Become 10% more like your idols—one haircut, quote, or morning ritual at a time.

Problem: Dating reality shows have become formulaic and lack the outrageous drama that gets people talking.

Solution: A show where 25 singles are secretly matched with distant cousins. If they accidentally hook up with their cousin, they're kicked off the island.

Concept: An outrageous twist on the dating genre that leverages accidental taboo for shock, comedy, and viral potential. Legal, but uncomfortable—perfect reality TV fuel.

Problem: Wrinkled clothes require effort to fix—usually needing a dryer or iron—and sometimes you just want to wear something now.

Solution: A closet-sized steam chamber that removes wrinkles from clothes. Optionally doubles as a personal sauna or steam room.

Concept: A hybrid appliance for the lazy and the luxe—removes wrinkles effortlessly and even offers wellness benefits. Ideal for busy professionals or apartment dwellers with limited laundry tools.

Problem: Chatty drivers (or fellow travellers) make you feel obligated to converse when you’d rather disengage.

Solution: A voice-activated hat that listens for conversation and auto-responds with pre-programmed phrases, while obscuring your mouth to make it look like you’re talking.

Concept: A humorous but oddly practical accessory for the introverted, socially burnt-out, or just politely antisocial. Keep your peace without seeming rude.

Problem: Singing in the car is fun, but people often mess up lyrics or feel self-conscious if others judge their singing. It’s also hard to sing together if not everyone knows the words.

Solution: A “Carpool Karaoke” mode integrated into your car’s display system (like Apple CarPlay), which shows the lyrics of the current song in real-time so everyone can sing along confidently.

Concept: Turns any car ride into a shared musical experience, like a karaoke party on wheels. Reduces performance anxiety and helps everyone hit the right lyrics, creating more joy on the road.

Problem: When you're short on time, it's stressful not knowing if your bathroom trip will be quick and easy or long and painful.

Concept: Like an ultrasound for your bowels. Brings clarity and control to a situation that’s usually unpredictable. Perfect for busy schedules and high-stakes pooping decisions.

Problem: Building furniture like dressers is time-consuming and frustrating, often involving dozens of parts and long instructions.

Solution: A pre-built dresser that folds flat and pops up like an accordion. Once expanded, the joints lock in place, creating a stable, ready-to-use piece with no tools required.

Concept: A fast-assembly, space-saving solution that mimics the convenience of boxed mattresses. Ideal for renters, students, or anyone who hates Allen wrenches

Concept: A self-improvement tool for generalists. Encourages curiosity, variety, and the joy of being “pretty good” at lots of things. Rebranded as Master of None (formerly Teach Me Something) it’s a celebration of versatile learning over deep expertise.

Problem: Street parking in cities like LA is a nightmare due to confusing signs and high risk of getting a ticket.

Solution: A full-body car cover that locks over your wheels, hides your license plate, and renders the vehicle “invisible” to parking enforcement. It prevents ticketing, booting, and identification.

Concept: A borderline-illegal but hilarious anti-ticketing shield for your car. Framed as a “cloak of invisibility,” it taps into urban driver frustrations and imagines a world where you can park literally anywhere without consequence.

Problem: Traditional comforters can be too hot, poorly insulated, or awkward—leaving parts of your body exposed or requiring constant adjustment to feel secure.

Solution: A hybrid comforter/sleeping bag design that allows users to slip inside via a center opening. It’s sealed on all sides like a sleeping bag but maintains the soft outer form of a regular comforter. Perfect for users who want to feel fully cocooned or just want a better cozy experience.

Concept: A cozy innovation that combines the best of both worlds—comforter on the outside, sleeping bag functionality on the inside. Designed for optimal warmth, containment, and softness without sacrificing versatility.

Problem: Ordering fajitas in a restaurant is a spectacle. The loud sizzling draws attention from the whole restaurant, which can feel awkward or embarrassing for more low-key diners.

Solution: A fajita silencer dome—a soundproof cover that fits over the hot cast iron plate. It reduces the sizzling noise, keeps the food warm while other meals are still being prepared, and allows for a more discreet dining experience.

Concept: A hospitality upgrade for self-conscious fajita lovers. Could be offered as a restaurant add-on (for an extra fee) or as a novelty product for high-end dining experiences. Balances heat retention with social comfort.

Problem: Living a baller lifestyle is prohibitively expensive for most people.

Solution: Baller Share—a subscription-based service where users co-own luxury items (e.g., Rolexes, sports cars, mink coats, fine dining experiences) and take turns using them. Each person gets to flex a different baller item each week, like a time-share for status symbols.

Concept: A rotating luxury lifestyle co-op for aspirational consumers. Lets users dip into opulence—without the permanent cost. Perfect for social media posts, special occasions, or just experiencing the high life one week at a time.

Problem: Mini fridges are useful but bulky, ugly, and often give off a “college dorm” vibe—not great for adult spaces.

Solution: A discreet drawer-sized fridge that slides out from under your bed or desk. Looks like a normal drawer but keeps drinks ice cold.

Concept: A sleek, adult-appropriate cooling solution for bedrooms, offices, or studios. Blends convenience and aesthetics—fridge function without fridge shame.

Problem: Getting too drunk in public often leads to embarrassment and social fallout the next day.

Solution: A covertly hired “chaos agent” who monitors your behaviour and, when needed, performs something so outrageous that it distracts everyone from your antics.

Concept: A hilarious social decoy. Think of it as insurance against becoming the story of the night — someone else will always one-up your worst behaviour. A mix of absurd performance art and reputation management.

Concept: A disciplinarian productivity tool that gamifies personal goals, with optional upgrades to resemble a specific authority figure from your past for maximum psychological impact.

Problem: White noise, pink noise, and other ambient sound options still produce audible sound, which can be distracting when you want true silence.

Solution: “Clear Noise” — a recording of perfect silence, captured in an anechoic chamber or simulated to eliminate all sound, creating the auditory effect of total stillness when played at high volume.

Concept: A pseudo-ambient sound experience designed to cancel rather than add noise — ideal for sleep, meditation, or focused work. The silence is the product.

Problem: Eating, working, or doing anything in bed is clumsy and inconvenient — balancing plates, laptops, or books gets chaotic fast.

Solution: Free Hands — a set of retractable, robotic arms that descend from your ceiling to hold whatever you need: a plate, a laptop, your phone, even a burrito mid-bite. When you want to set something down, just hold it up and the hands grab it.

Concept: A Wallace & Gromit-style contraption for the modern bed-bound multitasker. Modular, responsive, and completely hands-free comfort.

Problem: Your music taste changes depending on time of day, mood, or location — but your shuffle doesn’t know that.

Solution: A smart music sorting system that learns your location and time-based preferences. When you shuffle your liked songs, it plays the songs you tend to enjoy there or then (e.g. morning commute vs. late night walk, Maine vs. Florida).

Concept: “When he’s here, he likes these songs.” A dynamic, intuitive shuffle for people with situational music vibes.

Problem: Someone starts telling a story, and you know you have a better one — but you can’t always remember it in the moment.

While someone is talking, they detect if you’ve got a better story and notify you in real time so you can interrupt with a superior anecdote. Bonus Feature: The upgraded version also fabricates convincing made-up stories when needed, so you always win the conversation.

Concept: A wearable confidence booster for chronic one-uppers and competitive conversationalists.

Concept: A convenience-first product for early risers, caffeine addicts, and cohabiters. It doesn’t replace brushing—it buys you time without social shame. A tactical mint-shield for your mouth.

Problem: Food in traditional fridges gets lost, forgotten, or blocked by other items—especially in shared spaces with roommates.
