As per the patent – the device has a protective case for mobile electronics. The case emits electromagnetic radiation in the range of UV-C light for sanitizing contaminated surfaces. The case also includes additional LEDs that emit light at wavelengths known to have a therapeutic effect such as a blue light for treating the seasonal affective disorder. 

This seems like a perfect gift for a germophobe friend or everyone, considering the pandemic. Don’t you agree?

3D Doodler: 3D Printing Pen

Turning your imagination to reality isn’t so difficult now – thanks to a 3D Printing pen. The 3D Doodler works by extruding heated plastic that cools almost instantly into a solid, stable structure, allowing for the free-hand creation of three-dimensional objects.

Bluetooth Sleeping Eye Mask 

Another Bluetooth device in the list- yes that settles I am in love with music and I can’t deny it. 

This next device can make a great gift for someone who is a music lover or maybe just finds it difficult to sleep without music. Also, sometimes wearing a pair of headphones or earbuds is a great way to block the noise out that may hamper your sleep, but headphones and earbuds can fall off easily during the night.

Eye-mask headphones solve this problem in one of the most ingenious ways I’ve seen. A combination of headphones with an eye mask, not block out extraneous noise, they also block out light. 

Harvest Elite  

As we adopt our latest quarantine hobbies, many are trying their hands at gardening— a hobby that fits our lifestyle, whether it’s in a landless city apartment or a suburban home with an outdoor acre or more. For someone who wants to become a plant parent minus all the mud work- this patented smart planter is a tech solution that self-waters and doesn’t need soil!
