4. Nékojita FuFu – The hollow cat for hot drinks

The Nékojita FuFu is a small gadget in the shape of a cat that attaches to the rim of your cup and cools down hot beverages to a comfortable temperature. This way, you can save energy by not letting drinks cool down unnecessarily long or using additional cooling methods. In Japan, this gadget is expected to be available around the middle of the year for approximately 25 euros.

5. Electric Salt Spoon – Less Salt, More Flavor

The Electric Salt Spoon by Kirin enhances the salty taste of food through weak electrical signals, allowing you to use less salt. This not only promotes health but also reduces salt consumption. In Japan, the spoon was already sold in a limited quantity for the equivalent of 121 euros; a worldwide availability is planned.

Keep track of supplies, groceries and durable products before small price increases turn into unnecessary extra costs.
