Got an annoying problem? Chances are there is a cool new invention or technology to help solve it.
Problem: Packing too many clothes for trips
Solution: Since many will be traveling within the next few months for the holidays, don’t pack multiple pairs of leggings and tights. Hanes Silk Reflections and L’eggs have footed tights that turn into footless leggings. Save money and save space in your suitcase.
Problem: Concerned you will forget all of your grandparents’ stories
Solution: Storyworth.com is a service that helps capture your family’s memories. Each week they will send your grandparents a question, which grandparents then answer by email or phone. The stories are then collected by Storyworth and shared with your entire family.
Problem: Not being able to attend every holiday event
Solution: We’re all very busy during the holidays and it is challenging to attend every family event. Spin is a new app that will help you participate in special events such as gift openings even when you can’t be there in person.
Problem: Being overwhelmed as a new parent
Solution: weeSpring is an online social review site that gives new and expecting parents a one-stop resource for finding the best baby products for their lifestyle needs.
Problem: Having too much clutter and being disorganized
Solution: Instead of a traditional calendar, use Tempo, a free smart calendar app. Tempo will search your contacts, emails and documents and put all relevant information right in your Tempo calendar on your iPhone.
Problem: Piles of old VHS or 8mm footage collecting dust
Solution: YesVideo is a service where you can send in your old home movies and footage, they will digitize it and send it back.
