You're lying to yourself if you've ever said you don't want a pocket-sized drone that can take HD photos and video. Zano syncs with your smartphone for easy control and navigation, and its internal sensors can help it maneuver any obstacles it might encounter in the skies. And when it comes down to it, it's a lot cheaper than getting your pilot's license.

The concept behind this playful light fixture is at once simple and whimsical. Thin wire suspends an LED bulb from a wooden dowel, on which books can easily be balanced. You can switch out the books to change the look and feel of your decor. Give it a a few years; you may just see these in libraries everywhere.
Fred Water Flask

Water—it's arguably the most important part of anyone's health and wellness routine, but a pain in the ass to keep with you on the go. Unless you're carrying a backpack, a water bottle is a pretty cumbersome item to lug around. The Fred Flask aims to change things with the first-ever flask designed to keep you hydrated no matter where you are. Its sleek, brushed aluminum exterior holds 18 ounces of water, and at just 1.8 inches deep, you can easily stash it in your pocket. No more excuses for your lack of fitness in 2015, people.
