What's a product that you wish existed but doesn't?

What's a product that you wish existed but doesn't?

For me it's a little contraption that attaches buttons that have fallen off back onto clothes really quickly/easily without sewing. I've bought things that claim to do this before, but they're rubbish. I have an aspiration to design something one day, I'm sure it would be possible to design a good one.

Maybe an entrepreneur will read this and design our ideas!

Oh, my post was supposed to quote the one by @soupfiend

A pause and mute button so I can briefly pause or mute my husband when I need a break or want to tell him something without him interrupting me.

He's very lovely but it would be useful from time to time.

Self watering plants. I have plants all around the house and I feel like I walk miles each week to water them all. My house isn't that big either.

a craft similar to the puddle jumper from the stargate show or the craft from the tv show Aquila, so i can use it to eg pop across the continent for different foods and travel etc

A pocket sized device that creates silence for a radius of about a meter around you, suitable for indoor or outdoor use.

Something that keeps bathwater hotter for longer. I love long hot baths but get annoyed at having to top it up because it gets cooler too quickly.

A cure for insomnia…

Some kind of automatic duster, like a drone going around dusting everything. The duster equivalent of a robovac

A spray tan that lasts for a fortnight and has spf50 in it.

Yes please! I've often dreamt of this.

@RatRatPig

these may work? 🍪🍪🍪🍪

eta; you may even get an extra one in 😉

Yes to that. When I'm saying my pain is a 7 after morphine with endo, I'm not lying!

A machine that washes me and my hair, styles hair, does my makeup and dresses me and all in 15 mins please
And the SPF pill already mentioned

They actually did have these at a pool I used to go to!

A sock pairer and washing machine that didn't eat one sock from each pair that went in.

Oooh, this is a good one! I’d take this.

I’d also like something that dries my har instantly with no frizz. It’s long and curly and I spend about an hour carefully blowdrying with my Dyson diffuser and still have a halo of frizz afterwards.

A steering system for the car that doesn’t allow someone to turn or change lanes if the indicator/signal is not turned on.

That already exists, to a degree (eg Volvo's Lane Assist).

This exists and did 20 years ago-was 50p and the best treat after a shower

@SmallGreenBabies I give you the Ronco Buttoneer! You'll have to Google because for some reason, I can't attach link. Really showing my age here; company had loads of weird products as aforementioned - who knew you would need a curtain 'hemmer'?! No need to take curtains down, hem them in situ! @OhhYoureSpikey - anyone remember BarbaraPapa' and family?! I think it was a French kiddie storybook about a Royal elephant family and their kingdom. I remember the Police would go on patrol and snaffle 'Police snacks' from a stall - because they were teeny but filled them up!

Or a pill that stopped you getting grey hairs would work too 😅

If I’m not mistaken, the Volvo system just helps keep the car in your lane if you start to drift. I’m talking about jerks who don’t bother using the indicator/turn signals at all. There’s a special place in Bad Driver Hell for those folks.

They do have them in Center Parcs, and they’re big enough to fit an entire family. Great idea!

A pill you can take that cures the common cold, instantly.

My Toyota has a system that bleeps at you if you try and change lanes without indicating. It also makes moving over difficult with the steering.
