As you might guess from the name, Tea & Toast is a kitchenware product line consisting of a water kettle and toaster designed as aesthetic compliments to one another. For many people, these are the only two appliances one needs for a favorite breakfast. These two are married by a clean, modern design language that merges seamlessly with your kitchen interior. The set also takes inspiration from traditional tableware – for instance, the water kettle’s base is akin to a teacup saucer. The base charging stations are also unattached, making the units easy to clean and clean around. Free of any frill, they’re a subtle addition to your appliance collection that you won’t mind making space for on your countertop.

Tech for Cleaner Kid Mits

Growing up as a kid who loved playing in the dirt, my mom would’ve killed for a gadget like this! Simply titled “Safeguard,” this smart soap dispenser makes hand-washing a fun activity for kids while teaching them the importance of hygiene.

While a 20-second timer counts down, an interactive projection is cast directly from the dispenser around the rinsing area to entertain and simultaneously instruct little ones on the proper way to wash. It’s presented in the form of a fun germ-zapping game children will look forward to playing. Better yet, parents can keep an eye on progress and thoroughness through a dedicated smart app on their phone!
