I don't know about you but I don't allow my butler to drink coffee whilst he his holding ones umbrella.

...here is a picture of a kitten to make up for my smug and plainly untrue post.

There are a couple of small snags with that contraption - Each time the user tips the umbrella back to take a sip from one of the coffee mugs they will be soaked by the rain and by the contents of the other coffee mug spilling down their front.

But keep working on it. Once all these issues are ironed out, I'm sure the coffeebrella will be a big hit!

Voilà! Problem solved. Both hands free....

[woohoo]

Bit of wind and you could end up in A&E.

One has to hope the handle of that brolly isn't curved at the, um, bottom

Right... But all these inventions already exist in 2017 and so are using technology that's already in use.

Are you the type of person that runs into a wall when the room is pitch black? These LED Slippers will help guide you through the dark so you won’t hurt yourself ever again.

First of all, if it's dark, how do I find the slippers? Second, I use my smart watch light, so I don't need them.

I did have a noise activated loo seat that lit up whenever it detected a sound. Turned out to be not that useful.

Love the bottle opener ring though. Why it should appeal to millenails particularly defeats me.

Funnily enough I bought an "onion holder" (Invention 2 in that list) only last week!

In the same vein, I also bought a tomato holder for slicing tomatoes neatly
