18 Times A Small Design Change Made A Huge Difference

Sometimes I wish I was a designer. I could come up with cool products that would make my life and everyone else's lives easier.

Whenever I see people invent truly useful things, my heart rejoices. How do they do that? I guess that's the genius that lies within them. Get a load of these simple yet inventive designs that really made a huge difference.

1. This Gloves Package

If you ever had to buy gloves, you know it's tough to decide between their sizes. So it's really neat to see that this packaging comes with a sizing guide you can try out right on the spot.

2. This SaddleBaby Idea

Are your kids always asking you to carry them around? That can be a literal pain in the neck. But now it doesn't have to be when you get yourself this SaddleBaby. Oh my goodness, what a cool invention, no?

3. This Book Holder

If you're a book lover and are thinking of a unique way to display your books, listen up. Why not get yourself this superhero book holder that makes it appear as if the books are floating. Isn't this so neat?

4. This Notebook

When I was a student, I didn't enjoy carrying all these heavy books, notebooks, and accessories like calculators and such. So I could definitely have used this awesome notebook that comes with a calculator built into it. What a great idea, right?

5. This Embossed Rolling Pin

If you love baking, you're going to adore this unique handcrafter item here. It's an embossed rolling pin that will leave a beautiful design straight on your dough. All you have to do is cut it to make individual cookies. Wow!

6. This Nifty Packaging

Isn't it annoying when you buy a tech gadget, but you need scissors to open the package? Ugh! Check this out though — this one comes perforated, so it's really easy to open it up. I think it's about time.

7. This Half Pint Of Beer

Wouldn't it be cool if you went to a bar and asked for a half-pint of beer and got this literal-looking glass? Well, as you can see, one does exist, and I think it's super fun.

8. This Coat Rack

Speaking of things that are fun, what do you think of this coat rack here, huh? Why settle for just a regular one when you can have one that will surely be a great conversation piece. Ha, ha! I love it.

9. This Changing Room Rack

Is it just me, or do you also bring stuff to the changing room and then forget what you want to buy? Ha, ha! Those are first-world problems, huh? Well, this rack can definitely help us with that.

10. This USB Cable

Have you ever struggled to insert a USB cable? That's because it's one-sided. But what if it wasn't? With this one, you can use it whichever way you want, and I think it would solve all those problems, no?

11. These Tongs

I love using tongs when I cook, but what I don't like is when food particles get on my counter. So I need to praise whoever came up with this design which has a little holder so they don't touch the counter.

12. This Teacup

Wouldn't it be nice if you had a teacup that kept your tea hot but didn't burn your hands? Well, that's exactly what this one does here. It's hollow, so it doesn’t get too hot to hold. Bravo!

13. This Pharmacy Display

I don't know about you, but I need to read the labels before I buy my medication. But the letters are always so small you need a magnifying glass. So this pharmacy here provides one for its customers. Nice!

14. This Bench

I often think there aren't enough resting spots for people to sit in the city. So when I saw this bench a clever designer made right inside of a concrete wall, I thought it was totally brilliant.

15. This Brush Accessory

I have long hair, and it's a pain in the butt to brush it every day. Needless to say, my brush goes through a lot, hee-hee. I wish it came with this cool accessory to get the hair out, though.

16. This TV Remote Control

Let me ask you: how many remote controls do you have in your house? I think we have four, including a keyboard. So I'm really impressed that this TV remote actually comes with a full QWERTY keyboard on its back. Nice!

17. This Soup Mug

There is nothing better on a cold winter day than a warm cup of soup. Am I right? But what if your bowl of soup came with a nifty space for all your crackers? Voilà, this one does!

18. This Hotel Alarm Clock

Wouldn't it be awesome if your alarm clock displayed the time all around it so you won't get a kink in your neck from looking at it? Well, somebody finally thought of that, and I think it's pretty genius, huh?

Ah, I feel so satisfied looking at designs that make a lot of sense.

All of these will make us get through life with more ease. Don't you think so, too? When was the last time you stumbled upon something you thought was totally brilliant?
