Wisp – This is a smart product and, beyond just that, a very efficient pitch. There haven’t been too many new iterations of a broom over the years, but this offers up something better than the sort of broom and dustpan you’re used to having. Everything from the weight of the broom to the angle in which the pan catches debris has been totally thought-out, leaving you with a much easier experience than what you’re probably used to when cleaning the floor. At the right price point, this feels like a slam-dunk deal that is hard to ignore. (Learn more at the official site.)
Rewardstock – The idea here seems to be fairly simple: A system to help you collect and spend points in order to make travel even more affordable and convenient than you ever thought it could be. The system helps to pair you up with the right card to select points so that you can get as many points as possible towards your chosen destination. The audience here may be smaller in scale than Wisp, but if you’re a travel-nut, this is certainly something worth looking at. (Read more here.)
The Kombucha Shop – If you really love fermented tea, this is probably a more affordable option for you than buying it at the store. This company provides kits and supplies so that you can make your own kombucha at home for a fraction of the price. They have a lot of flavor options and for diehard fans, you may find the process fun! Granted, we do also think that there are some who won’t want to go through the effort.

Handbag Raincoat – The pitch for this product is absolutely over-the-top, but there is something fun about the simplicity here. It’s a coat … for your handbag! The product is reasonably-priced, it’s functional with a wide array of handbags, and if you love carrying around your handbag and also live in a place with quick changes to the weather, maybe it’s something that is worth carrying around.
