Clever Designs That Are Solving People's Everyday Problems

Miniature Blinds Sent to Potential Customers so They Can See It Before Buying

A person who requested some sample paint color swatches from a blind maker didn't think anything strange would happen. Instead, they got a small set of blinds in the finish they had asked for in the mail. This helped them picture the possible purchase better. It may seem like a tiny touch, but it makes a big difference and probably always leads to a sale!

If you ever need more blinds in the future, how could you not go back to the company that paid such much attention to detail when they sent you a sample?

A Shirt With Hidden Buttons to Prevent a Blouse Gap

Women with bigger breasts are probably familiar with the dreaded button gap! Wearing a button-up top or blouse can make you feel embarrassed, even if you don't mean to. This shirt tries to fix the problem by hiding twice as many buttons on the inner seam. This gives the shirt additional support and makes it less stretchy. There won't be any more gaps between buttons that show through, and it seems to work like a charm.

It's hard to find clothes that fit when you're top heavy, so it's a big relief for many when a company really makes garments for this group.

Glowing Door Handle Stickers to Help You Find Your Way Around at Night

Most homes would look amazing with glow-in-the-dark door handle stickers. These low-intensity luminous stickers give just the proper amount of light, whether you need to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night or your power goes out. They are not too bright or too dark, so they won't wake you up but will help you find the handle. That said, it might not be to everyone's taste.

They are definitely a better choice than trying to use a phone to light your way or turning on a bright light in the room, which can wake you up.

"Binge Boxes" From the Local Library to Keep You Busy All Weekend

It feels like the good old days of Blockbuster again!

People can choose from a list of movies using this setup, which might make it easier to make a choice. There are movies from every genre on the shelf, from sci-fi to sports classics.

Band-Aids Expand Their Skin-Tone Range for More Inclusive Representation

Now, they come in a larger range of colors so that people can find the one that looks best on them. Who doesn't love that the more inclusive designs will help satisfy the demands of more customers?

But not every skin tone is shown, and if you still can't locate a band-aid that matches your skin tone, you might be better off getting the kids' ones with amusing prints.
