Bottles are by far a designer’s most favorite item to re-purpose. Head over to Pinterest and you’ll scroll endlessly for days, looking at the kind of stuff people do with old bottles. With the Bottle Light, there’s an element of industrial design involved that we liked and we’re sure you will too. Designed to retrofit into any glass bottle, the light is a cork-shaped component with an LED at the bottom and actual cork on the top. Pop it onto any glass bottle to turn it into a luminary. The design also allows you to charge it via USB, which makes it quite a neat product to gift yourself or others!

A metaphoric and conceptual object designed to be shown on a desk or a work place not so much to carry around. Bomb USB is a flash drive and a toy, not an actual bomb.

This is so simple!! The Continuance Rechargeable Battery is AA battery with a built-in USB port so you can hook them up with your computer, smartphone, or iPod to charge on the go. In the days of smart gadgets and phones, traditional batteries with the letter size system are barely something we see and use anymore. But for those who still want to save money on batteries for your cable remote control or toy cars, rechargeable AA batteries are the way to go. In the old days, these often come with clunky standalone chargers that take up a large chunk of your power outlet strip.

What do you think of these compact USB batteries?
