27. Never get caught in the rain

Sudden showers are all well and good in Nicholas Sparks movies, but they’re awful in real life. Enter the Oombrella, a smart umbrella that means you will never again get caught in a pop-up rainstorm. It has a built-in weather station that can track the conditions directly around you. Bonus: It has a feature that will buzz your phone if you leave home without it...or leave it on the

bus. ($115, oombrella.me/indiegogo)
