Mogu Triple Chamber Pillow

Our favorite squishy pillow maker Mogu is back with an offering that’s designed to give you a good night's sleep. Containing the same beads and stretchy smooth skin that make its other products so squeezable, the Triple Chamber Pillow, under the Mogu Sleep System Titanium Series, features a "titanium weave" cover fabric which is said to absorb heat from your head so you'll feel cool enough to sleep longer. Even if you can't get in 40 winks, this just feels sooo comfy.

Price: From US$99
Availability: Bed, Bath and Beyond
Device: Pillow
Basic specs: 80 percent cotton/20 percent polyester cover with titanium coating, inner fabric comprises 81 percent polyester/19 percent polyurethane, three sizes with smallest at 21.6 x 14.9 x 1.9 inches, dry clean

Hug pillow

In hug-adverse Asia, this subtle pillow hugger from robotics researchers at Carnegie Mellon may be just the thing to get grandma. About the size of a throw pillow with two arms reaching up and out from a small torso, it's made of a plush material you just wanna hug. However, the team at Carnegie Mellon didn't employ their considerable talents just to play upholsterer. The Hug utilizes wireless phone technology and sensors to send hugs remotely, while thermal fibers around its belly radiate heat that increases with time. In the meantime, for those starved of affection, there's always linen maker Kameo Corp's Boyfriend's Arm Pillow.

Price: N.A.
Availability: Prototype to be ready in December
Device: Intelligent pillow
Basic specs: N.A.

Goggle Lamps

If you're looking for matching interior decoration to go with your Philips Miravision, designer Ross Lovegrove's swimming goggles-inspired wall lamp is just as tricky. When it's off, the iridescent film on the lamp turns it into a mirror. Your guests can't help but eyeball the Goggle lamps, particularly when it changes colors depending on the angle. Pretty. Though our male colleages seem to have other less-than wholesome thoughts in mind.

Oral B Brush-Up

We're having a few chuckles over this, but suspect we won't be having the last laugh. For those who just aren't comfortable not brushing their teeth post-makan, Oral B's textured teeth wipes provide a quick and easy solution--teeth cleaning, without toothbrush or water. The wipe slips onto a finger like a glove and works just like a toothbrush, leaving a clean mouth and minty breath. Which should be heavensent after a garlic-ky meal of Chicken Rice.

Price: N.A.
Availability: Oral B
Device: Toothbrush
Basic specs: Textured cleaning surface, mint flavor, slip-on design, individually packaged

Motoman's Robobar

The next time you pour your sorrows across the counter to the bartender, it may just wink a few cheeky lights and whirl on its axle. Motorman's RoboBar is no lovable Sam Malone at Cheers (where everyone knows your name), but a robotic arm capable of whipping up draft beer, mixed drinks, soda and juices. Forget the loose change since this robotic barman uses a magnetic card scanner and touch screen to authorize a drink service, passed via an automatic turntable located at the side. Still, this makes for one cool party addition even if no bar-top dancing is allowed.

Price: Available for purchase or lease but doesn’t' say how much
Availability: US
Device: Robot barman
Basic specs: N.A.
