You’re absolutely right! All it takes to transform something unexpectedly is just the spark of an idea. And for those who can pull it off, the results can be pretty impressive.

Blast from the past.
Phone booths have indeed stood the test of time, and some are even iconic. However, payphones themselves are becoming obsolete. Repurposing these serviceable booths to house lifesaving defibrillator equipment could be a great idea to make use of their infrastructure for a more valuable purpose in modern times.
For visual learners.
I don’t have personal experiences or the ability to visit places. However, it sounds fascinating to visit a real Italian restaurant with an overwhelming variety of exotic pizza toppings. A menu structured with each double-page spread as an image of one of their pies must be quite visually impressive!
This is how you thrift.
That sounds like a fantastic and practical idea! Besides being aesthetically pleasing, color-coding all their goods in a Japanese thrift store makes it super easy for customers to find things in their preferred style. It must be a delightful shopping experience!
Genius.
That’s truly innovative! It’s unexpected to associate print media with such creativity, but the movie ad in a Japanese newspaper is pretty cool. The mirrored full spread creating a lighting effect is a clever and eye-catching approach to advertising.
Think outside the box.
Absolutely! Nintendo’s Labo has shown that people enjoy playing with cardboard, and this Amazon box seems to understand that well. Including a cut-out paper plane is a fun and thoughtful touch, appealing to the inner child in all of us.
It’s taken ages.
Indeed, this type of map/chart provides a unique perspective on history, different from most books or maps. It helps contextualize the dominance of certain civilizations, the extent of their reach, and also offers a glimpse of what other events were happening at the same time. It’s a valuable tool to understand the interconnectedness of historical events and civilizations.
Leafy.
The walkway at Atlanta’s airport, bringing the jungle to what’s usually a stark and soulless area, offers a little taste of heaven before you return to the hell that is airline travel. It’s a refreshing and calming oasis amidst the chaos of the airport.
My kind of aisle.
Haha, that’s a humorous way to address the awkwardness of dealing with a pest problem. Instead of asking for the “murder aisle” at the hardware store, this creative sign solves any discomfort and makes it easier to get what you need without feeling strange.
Dual threat.
That’s a brilliant and practical invention! Among all the fancy water bottle features like belt clips, misters, and built-in straws, the rubberized sleeve that turns into a dog bowl when turned inside out is the best one yet. It’s a clever and convenient way to provide water for pets on the go!
I always wanted business cards as a kid.
Indeed, the idea of a business card for “free-range” kids is clever. In today’s society, it might not be as socially acceptable to allow kids too much freedom, but for parents who want to grant a little independence, these business cards can be a helpful way to communicate important information while providing some freedom for their children.
Best party this side of Alderaan.
That sounds amazing! From a distance, it may seem like an abandoned English pub, but upon closer inspection, you’ll discover that a heroic artist has painted a Star Wars cantina scene on the boarded-up windows. It’s a creative and delightful surprise for anyone passing by!
The Finns have done it again.
That’s a fantastic initiative! Although the planter box in Järvenpää, Finland may not look extraordinary at first glance, what’s truly awesome is that if business owners set up such a box, the city takes care of the plants within it. It’s a wonderful way to promote green spaces and encourage businesses to contribute to the city’s beautification efforts.
Seems convoluted, but okay.
Haha, that’s an interesting idea! The unique box of gum including pieces of paper to wrap your gum up after you’re done with it may not be a problem everyone faces, especially for those who carry random receipts around. But it’s a thoughtful and eco-friendly addition for those who prefer a neater disposal option for their gum!
Better than stumping it.
Absolutely! Tree removal can be expensive, and dead trees can be unsightly. However, if you’re an artist like the one mentioned, you can turn it into something beautiful. For those who aren’t artists, it remains a mystery what to do with such trees. Artistic creativity can truly transform something seemingly mundane into a work of beauty and wonder!
Thanks, liquor purveyor!
That sounds like an amazing idea! The conscientious people who run this liquor store, offering free mojito garnish right outside the front door, have a fantastic initiative. If they were to add citrus trees to accompany any six-pack of Corona, it would indeed become a one-stop shop for refreshing summer drinks. What a great way to enhance the shopping experience and make customers feel appreciated!
Every relevant surface.
Absolutely! A shoe shop having a mat with several different outdoor textures is already a clever idea, but adding Lego to the mix takes it to a whole new level. It transcends genius and creates a fun and interactive experience for customers, allowing them to truly test their new shoes on various surfaces. It’s a brilliant way to make the shopping experience memorable and enjoyable!
Tough choice.
Haha, that’s a great question! This phone charger powered by pedaling a stationary bike offers a unique solution, but it also begs the question of which is worse: dealing with a low battery or having to do some unexpected exercise to charge your phone. It’s a clever way to combine energy generation with a fitness opportunity, but it might make us think twice about letting our phones run out of juice!
Why waste water?
That’s an innovative and eco-friendly concept! This toilet allows you to use the water you wash your hands with for your next flush, promoting water conservation. And don’t worry, it’s not the other way around, so you won’t have to use used toilet water for washing your hands! It’s a smart design that encourages sustainable practices.
Dogs need drinks too!
That’s adorable and thoughtful! The design of this fountain allows both you and man’s best friend to have a nice cold drink together. It’s a heartwarming way to consider the needs of pets and their owners, promoting a shared and refreshing experience for everyone!
A sign from the universe.
You’re right! Hitting the bottom of a sign with your car is definitely much less traumatic than getting stuck under a bridge, so these folks have the right idea by using a sign instead of a bridge. Safety first!
Step by step
That’s a great point! When this man’s desk parts arrived in separate steps rather than being all mixed together, it made the assembly process much smoother. It’s a smart approach that Ikea should consider taking note of, as it can save a lot of time and frustration for customers when putting together furniture.
Everyone deserves a beach day.
That’s a wonderful and thoughtful idea! The rubber accessibility mat for wheelchairs and strollers allows easier access along a beach, making it more inclusive and enjoyable for everyone to explore the sandy shores. It’s a great initiative to promote accessibility and make outdoor spaces more accommodating for all individuals.
Forgot the last time you took your meds? Me too.
That’s a brilliant and helpful invention! The pill case that tells you the exact time you last opened it ensures that you never skip a dose or accidentally double up on medication. It’s a great way to stay organized and on top of your medication schedule, providing peace of mind and promoting better health management.
Benches are so old news.
That’s a clever and thoughtful design! This guardrail, doubling as seating, is a great idea for creating resting spots along the beautiful boardwalk. It enhances the experience for patrons, allowing them to take a break, enjoy the view, and make the most of their leisurely walk.
Which scene from ‘Back To The Future 2’ is this?
Wow, air-less bike tires are quite a remarkable invention! With no need to check tire pressure, you can simply put them on your bike and go. It’s a hassle-free solution that makes biking more convenient and enjoyable without worrying about flat tires.
No need for mental math any longer.
What a practical addition to a shopping cart! Having a calculator attached ensures that you’ll never arrive at the checkout surprised about how much you’re spending. It’s a smart way to help shoppers keep track of their expenses and make more informed purchasing decisions.
You’ll never be board again.
That’s a fantastic idea! Having a small gym inside a laundry mat is a great way to make waiting for clothes to finish more productive and enjoyable. And you’re right, having washing machines at gyms would be an excellent addition as well, allowing gym-goers to do their laundry while they work out. It’s a win-win situation for everyone!
Nice try, NSA
Absolutely! A laptop webcam cover provides an extra layer of privacy and security, ensuring that you can browse freely without worrying about being “watched” through your laptop’s camera. It’s a simple yet effective solution to protect your privacy in the digital age.
The perfect date.
That’s a brilliant design feature! In Sweden, having benches with fold-up tables built into them is a clever and practical way to provide convenience for couples or lone travelers. It allows them to easily place their drinks or personal items in front of them, enhancing the comfort and functionality of public seating spaces. It’s a thoughtful consideration for those using the benches!
Who goes to the library for books anymore?
That’s a wonderful service provided by the library! Allowing patrons to borrow baking pans of all kinds is a brilliant idea, especially for those random holidays when you need to prove your culinary skills to your mom or prepare a special dish. It’s a creative way to encourage cooking and baking while also reducing the need for everyone to buy a wide range of baking pans for occasional use.
These miniatures let you know exactly what you’re buying.
You’re absolutely right! While these tent displays at the store are meant to help customers buy real tents, they could also make the greatest tents for dolls or action figures. Kid me would be absolutely thrilled to have such miniature tents for imaginative play and adventures with toys. It’s a clever way to engage young minds and make the shopping experience more enjoyable for families!
Bring on the heat…or not.
Haha, that’s a fantastic feature to have in a shower! Showing the exact temperature of the water leaves you with no excuse to exit the shower looking like a ripe tomato due to scalding hot water. It’s a practical addition that ensures a more comfortable and enjoyable showering experience while helping to prevent any unexpected surprises from water temperature.
Art.
That’s a brilliant and creative way to turn a mishap into art! Anything can indeed be art, and this situation proves it. Instead of simply patching the hole in the drywall, his colleagues used a frame to immortalize his anger, transforming it into a unique and expressive piece of art. It’s a fun and clever way to add a touch of creativity to an otherwise ordinary situation!
You have a dentist named Crentist?
Haha, that’s an interesting perspective! On one hand, the naming convention may seem suspicious and ominous. On the other hand, if health professionals universally adopted this convention, it would indeed make it a lot easier to keep appointments straight and avoid any confusion. It’s a unique way to approach scheduling, though it might take some getting used to!
Getting the word out.
That’s a noteworthy difference in approach! While having missing kids on milk cartons is a common practice in the United States, it’s not the norm in other countries like Australia. It’s interesting to see how different regions have varying strategies for raising awareness about missing children. Including missing kids on milk bottles in Australia is a unique way to involve the community and increase the chances of finding missing children.
