This modular heated jacket lets you pick your level of warmth and comfort all year round

Nothing is probably more unpredictable than weather, and temperatures can vary greatly even in the same season. People often prepare different wardrobes for different situations, but it can get pretty cumbersome to keep switching jackets whenever the weather changes. Plus, you might have a favorite that you wish you could use whether it’s chilly, sunny, or even rainy. The good news is that such a jacket is no longer just a dream but a toasty reality, thanks to an ingenious jacket design that not only lets you select your desired warmth but also lets you add or remove parts to match the weather, the season, and your sense of style.

One Jacket, Countless Options – Thanks to the precision engineering of its modular design, you get more than a jacket – you get an ally for every occasion.

Heated jackets have been around for quite a bit, but the majority of them are as effective as shoving a hot pack inside the jacket’s pocket. You only have one level of heat, which may be too little or too much depending on the weather. These jackets are also designed to be thick and bulky to keep your body warm, which means you can only use them for a limited number of months each year. The UZE Heated Jacket changes the game completely, promising a jacket that you can wear in all four seasons while giving you the power to decide just how toasty you really need to be.

Look Cool, Feel Hot – Four Graphene heat zones and three heat settings (120°F, 140°F, 160°F) ensure you stay warm in any weather.

The secret to this unbelievable feat is the same graphene technology that the brand uses for its popular power banks, which happens to be a remarkable material for heat conduction. With four graphene heat zones and three heat settings of 120°F, 140°F, and 160°F, you don’t have to frantically search for the right jacket just because it suddenly gets colder or warmer. With a simple touch of a button, you can select the level of warmth that will make you feel comfortable, whether you’re going out for a brisk morning walk or braving the snow. And you don’t have to worry about your jacket running out of power in the middle of the day. UZE is best known for its power banks, so you shouldn’t be surprised that its Heated Jacket carries one that can keep you warm for up to 10 hours and charges in 45 minutes, 10x faster than your run-of-the-mill heated jacket.

Charge 10x Faster, Instant Warmth – The UZE Power Bank keeps you warm for up to 10 hours and charges 10x faster than typical heated jacket power banks (45 minutes vs. 8 hours).

That adjustable warmth is just one of the UZE Heated Jacket’s superpowers. Even when you don’t actually need that kind of heat, the jacket provides comfort and style all year round thanks to its modular design and stylish looks. Add a fur-lined hood when you want to keep your head warm as well or remove the liner when you want a snug fit. There’s even an underarm zipper for better ventilation, perfect for people with more active lifestyles. So yes, you can even wear it as part of your summer glam or fall fashion with its clean style and modern looks.

No More Raining on Your Parade – The fabric’s membranes are 20,000 times smaller than a drop of water but larger than water vapor molecules, achieving superior breathability.

Everything In Its Place, Always Within Reach – Instant access, all within reach. Bank card, key card or ski pass. Bid farewell to fiddly pockets.

One Jacket, Countless Options – Thanks to the precision engineering of its modular design, you get more than a jacket – you get an ally for every occasion.

With waterproof zippers and the specially-developed UZEShield fabric, you can also wear it under the rain or in strong winds. This proprietary fabric prevents water droplets from getting in while allowing water vapor to escape, ensuring enhanced breathability. Want to travel light without a bag? The jacket has plenty of pockets to carry not just the power bank, but also your phone, cards, and other accessories. It even has a cloth wiper for your sunglasses and a built-in keychain holder so you won’t have to worry about losing your keys ever again. With the UZE Heated Jacket, you’re in complete control of your comfort and your style, giving you the exact amount of warmth and protection you need, regardless of what the weather throws at you.

This scoop spoon uses liquid thermal energy to easily scoop through rock-solid ice-cream

Imagine how good an ice-cream scooping spoon would have to be to win a Global Innovation Award. With a special heat-retaining liquid inside its handle, and a thermally-conductive alloy structure internal structure that guides the heat to the scoop’s rim, the ScoopTHAT II can quite naturally carve through that solid block of ice-cream with zero fuss. Relying on just the physical transfer of heat, ScoopTHAT II slices through frozen cream like a hot knife through butter, but without any electricity or batteries… just good old science.

No Cold Coffee, Only HOT!

Regular YD-ers know about my coffee addiction and how I love my cuppa joe by my side. According to my survey there are two kinda tea/coffee drinkers, ones who love their brew piping hot (or a particular temperature) and ones who prefer tepid. The Nano Heated Mug caters to the former faction; those who love hot beverages at the ideal drinkable temperature.

Insulated mugs and those with wired warmers are quite cumbersome to be honest. They never manage to keep the drink at one consistent temperature for a long duration. This is where the Nano Heated Mug scores big time; it is a mug designed to work wirelessly and holds a beverage to the ideal drinkable temperature for 45 minutes. For example, if I pour in my piping hot coffee, the mug will bring the coffee to the ideal temp (145-155 degrees Fahrenheit) hold it at that steady temperature for 45 minutes at one go! I can take the mug to meetings, on the go … no worries at all!

Of course its not a one time wonder, otherwise that’s a lot of money to spend on a single hot drink! The one-time full charge lasts you for 7 to 8 refills. What this means is that if you drink two cups of coffee / tea a day, then the cup on a full charge will last you for about four days.

The big question is how does this work and what’s in it for you.

  • The Wireless Heated Mug uses the Patented Nano Heat green technology. In 2012 it won the top green Innovations award in Hong Kong Awards for Environmental Excellence.
  • Nano heat technology means no more wires tying you to a heating source. You simply charge your nano mug with the included USB cord in your house, your car or even at your computer.
  • Once charged, disconnect and off you go with a perfectly heated beverage for up to 45 minutes. In a meeting, on a phone call, taking care of the kids, or running errands – your drink will remain at the perfect drinkable temperature throughout.

Details for the mug can be found here. My verdict – get yours NOW!

USB Heated Cat Bed Keyboard

usb cat keyboard
Does your cat like to sit on your keyboard? No need to answer, it’s obviously a yes. And always while you’re trying to type out something important. Meow Mix devoted a Catstarter to solving this problem (it’s like Kickstarter but for cat related stuff and with a corporate sponsor). They came up with Hot Keys. It’s a “keyboard” that plugs into a USB port that your cat can sit on while you type on your real keyboard.

But why would the cat want to sit on the Hot Keys keyboard instead of your actual keyboard? Because, as you might have guessed by the name (or the title of this post, genius), the keys are heated. The more you type on your keyboard, the toastier the cat bed gets. Here’s a quick video animation showing Hot Keys in action:

Now unfortunately Meow Mix is not bringing this to stores for everyone to purchase (somebody really should though). They did create 100 of them and shipped them off to selected loyal cat owners to enjoy. Totally pawesome.

Plush Narwhal USB Heated Slippers

The unicorn of the sea can be the unicorn of your feet. With these Plush Narwhal Slippers you get that toasty warmth in both your heart (from seeing such a cute animal) and in your feet. That’s because these slippers are heated! Just plug them in to any USB outlet to heat them up and then unplug to walk around- or keep them plugged in and just drag your computer around at knee level like an idiot. There’s no wrong way.

Real narwhals don’t need to be USB heated because they have a thick layer of blubber to keep them warm. But you don’t because you snack on carrots all day long like a negative caloric human rabbit. The bottom of these one-size-fits-all slippers have non-slip dots to really take the slipping out of slippers. Don’t worry you can still slide around in your socks like you’re Tom Cruise in Risky Business- just skip the tighties though. Please, my eyes are burning, put some pants on. Even the narwhals have closed their eyes. So treat your feet.
