Top 10 Gadgets That Will Make Your Life Easier

We are all looking for life hacks and tricks that we can be used to make our day to day lives easier, leaving us plenty of time for the really important things in life.

People don't often realise that there is a gadget out there to make almost any task easier or to suit almost every need you could think of! It's all a matter of finding the perfect gadget for the job at hand.

At first glance this concept might seem to be a by-product of our increasingly busy and fast paced lifestyles. We live in a world where time is a very valuable commodity, so it's perfectly normal to want to be more productive and as efficient as possible. However, the concept of life hacks is not a new one invented by lazy modern-day people. Small tricks and tips to make day to day tasks easier have been around and popular since the 1900s!

Back in those days, life hacks were created as a response to people's lives being basically overcrowded with work. Life hacks in the form of manuals for managers on how to compartmentalise and delegate tasks became very popular and slowly people's personal lives became less cluttered with work, while their professional lives became organised and more efficient.

Nowadays, however, life hacks have less to do with our actual work lives (although some really useful work life hacks have started appearing online in recent years) and more to do with self-improvement and personal efficiency. Making our day to day life as easy as possible ensures that we can get the most out of our time. As a bonus, trying life hacks is a really fun thing to do!

Here are the top 10 gadgets that we think will make your life a lot easier and hassle-free.

Solar powered phone and tablet charger

Because we live in a crazy world even the best of us can be left with 1% battery in the middle of the day. These things happen all the time. Imagine being left without any battery at all at noon while on the go, with no possibility of charging your phone/tablet! That is the stuff that modern-day nightmares are made of, but if you have this really handy gadget on you on the go you can charge your phone even when there is no electricity available anywhere around you.

This is a life saver while camping or on beach trips too because you have a virtually endless source of energy at your disposal: the Sun!

Keyring money container

This hacks one of life's biggest problems: where to safely store money on a night out. This handy little gadget will allow you to safely store cash and keep it away from prying eyes when you go out and it eliminates the need to take a full purse or wallet with you that might easily get lost or stolen. By attaching it to your belt, bag or keys you also leave your hands free, which is really convenient on a night out, too!

Wall mounted bottle opener

Bottle openers are the kinds of things that are always lying around your house when you don't seem to need them, only to mysteriously vanish as soon as you reach for the fridge to grab a cold drink. This life hack addresses that issue perfectly! By opting for a wall mounted bottle opener you can be sure that you are never left looking all over your house for one when you need it the most. If it's a cute one like the one above it can also add a lot of style points to your kitchen.

Spaghetti portion measure

It's safe to say that everyone likes pasta to some extent. However, it's really inconvenient when you want to cook for yourself and end up making either too much or not enough spaghetti. The portions never seem to be equal! This gadget hacks that by telling you exactly how much spaghetti you should be cooking at a time depending on how many portions of pasta you need. You will never have to waste spaghetti ever again.

8 in 1 cutlery set

This is for all the times when you go for a spontaneous meal somewhere and don't have any proper cutlery handy. There's nothing worse than preparing to tuck into a delicious meal with your plastic cutlery only to have it snap a few bites in! Some types of food simply shouldn't be eaten with plastic cutlery, so be prepared by carrying this in your handbag or even in your car. You will definitely find yourself reaching for this more than you'd think!

Battery operated reading lamp

If you are travelling or if you want to read at night but your partner is sleeping, this type of lamp will allow you to focus just enough soft light on your reading material, without being disruptive to everyone else around you. It comes in really handy when you are on a plane or on a train at night , but it's also very useful to have around in your kitchen to shine a light on your cook book for example!

Electric carving knife

Carving that Sunday roast can be tricky sometimes, especially if it's fresh and quite soft. Having an electric knife on hand will help you carve perfect, equal pieces in a fraction of the time it would normally take to do it by hand. This handy gadget can also cut through bread and even features a special blade that can cut through frozen food! Imagine all the time you can save if you switch to using this gadget :)

Goldfish bath plug

This might not seem like the most obvious life hack gadget out there, but it is definitely useful! Have you ever pulled out the plug, only for the chain to break and the plug be stuck in the hole? Have you ever tried to get the plug out unassisted only to break your nails and hurt your fingers? Reduce the risks with this plug. It's also very easy to spot in the tub if the kids have filled it with toys, and is a really fun thing to have around the house.

Touchscreen gloves

This is possibly the greatest life hack out there. It basically hacks winter itself and it will definitely save you a lot of frustration in the cold season. These gloves are touchscreen friendly and feature handy non-slip leather patch to make sure your smartphone is safe in your hands at all times. You can now scroll with precision during winter and avoid the hassle of having to take your gloves off (and freeze) when you want to send a text.

They are also machine washable and very warm and snug, while being fully functional on all types of screens.  

Portable speaker

This gadget is a bit more mainstream than some of the other ones featured on this list, but it's still worth mentioning! A portable speaker is really handy especially if you enjoy listening to your favourite tunes in the shower. This gadget will wirelessly connect to your smartphone and will allow you to keep your phone at a safe distance from the bathtub/shower and still enjoy some great music.
