Every year, new and innovative household gadgets appear on the market, and 2013 looks to be no exception. From useful kitchen items and electrical equipment to the unusual and downright quirky, some new gadgets for 2013 will have buyers wondering how they lived without them.

Useful and unusual gadgets for the home

Finding ways to manage home life and keep things running smoothly is always desirable and a variety of new gadgets appear on the market every year to help accomplish just that. One standout for 2013 is the digital measuring spoon. Eliminating the need for multiple measuring spoons, this tool uses technology to calculate the exact weight or volume of ingredients and displays the measurements on an LCD screen in the handle. Saving time and space, the digital measuring spoon is great for large or small cooking jobs and comes with an interchangeable larger spoon bowl for bigger measuring tasks.

Most homes have a limited amount of wall sockets, so with all the smartphones, tablets, computers and other pieces of technology now used in daily life, having enough space to charge all of this electronic equipment may seem impossible. Enter the FastMac Wall Socket and USB Port combo. This handy wall socket plate allows a homeowner to modify the outlets in his or her entire home if desired. Combining regular electrical sockets for standard electrical equipment such as lamps and televisions with USB ports perfect for plugging in phones, tablets, digital cameras and more, the FastMac Wall Socket and USB Port safely and effectively ensures that all equipment will be charged and ready when needed.

Another useful gadget for smartphone and tablet users are Mujjo touchscreen gloves. Any smart technology user living in a cold climate knows that the gloves must come off in order to use the equipment, leading to cold fingers and possibly dropping the valuable device itself. The Mujjo touchscreen gloves eliminate these risks and are compatible with all touchscreen phones and equipment.

Whether it stores prescription drugs or over-the-counter medications, the Medication Safe is one of the most innovative gadgets debuting in 2013. The Medication Safe fits into most standard-size medicine cabinets and can easily hold up to seven pill bottles. It may also be safely stored in a dresser drawer or nightstand.

Gadgets for television lovers

After a long day, sitting down to enjoy your favourite programs is made all the more enjoyable with one of these quirky new remote controls. Both rely on new technology that changes the channel with gestures rather than buttons.

For fans of Doctor Who comes the Sonic Screwdriver Universal Remote Control, an accurate replica of the Time Lord’s most valuable interstellar gadget. It is capable of controlling TVs, iPhone docks and other types of infra-red receivers – up to three at a time – and features realistic vintage sci-fi sounds courtesy of the BBC.

HDTV Channels may be changed with a swish and a flick with the Harry Potter Wand Remote Control. The Wand remembers up to 13 different infrared codes and ties them to gestures, so a wave of the Wand will change the channel, adjust the volume and more.
