These Innovative Kickstarter Products Show That S’poreans Have Brilliant Ideas Too
Ever since crowdfunding website Kickstarter started, ordinary people with great ideas but without the budget to bring them to life have found the perfect way to do so.

Ashton Kutcher described WeatherHYDE as “innovation at its finest”.
Indeed, this fully insulated, lightweight tent is a powerful tool that has the potential to save the lives of the homeless and vulnerable living in extreme weather.
One of the key features of the tent is its triple layer skin. It blocks light, thus eradicating any embarrassing shadows and making it women-friendly. The fact that the tent is fully enclosed also gives its inhabitants maximum privacy.
Additionally, the tent will only take a person 15 mins to install, without any tools!
Non-profit organisation billionBricks has already launched WeatherHYDE’s first pilot test in Delhi, India in 2016, giving homeless individuals their first homes. We foresee many more organisations following suit when they realise how useful this invention is.
3. LIMPEH SAYS

Morally wrong but politically correct.
According to the game’s creators, this is the ideology behind this 18 and above only card game.
To say the game is tongue-in-cheek is an understatement. There is some seriously saucy content within these cards, all in the name of fun.
Playing the game is easy. For every round, one player, a.k.a the “Limpeh”, draws a Red Card. The rest of the players will answer the question posed in the card with their best White Card. The questions range from food, National Service to something as vague as “what do I think about to calm down?”. The Limpeh will then choose the funniest card combination as the winner.

Showering after a tiring gym session can be a chore. This is especially so when you have to bend down and fumble around for your shampoo and bodywash products.
With XUBE, the inventor aims to solve this problem.
XUBE is a portable and sleek toiletries dispenser that unrolls and sticks to any smooth surface. Simply fill it with your shower products and you can start using it at your comfort!
6. INNI Nails

This last product on our list is a dream innovation for women – imagine creating a one-of-a-kind nail design in the comfort of your own home!
This special software allows you to upload any image from your computer or the Internet, and use brushes and gradient tools to create a unique nail design. One user even created an eye-catching nail art design using her family photos!
However, if design is not your cup of tea, don’t worry. You can select from existing designs on the INNI Nail Studio program.
Kudos to the brilliant inventors who created all these amazing Kickstarter products! Who knew so many of these little things we’ve grown accustomed to doing everyday like watering plants and sorting cash could be eliminated with just a little bit of creativity?
We certainly hope we can look forward to more innovative products from these creators!

The BOLDR Journey

The company’s latest launch, the BOLDR Journey, is built on the popular BOLDR Voyage concept. A vintage, aviator-inspired design, and the unique Seiko meca-quartz movement are the key features of the watch. Its dome-shaped, durable box mineral glass lens brings a vintage look whilst creating a curve canopy surface. This allows light to create a soft, even tone on the textured watch face.

The timekeeping mechanism is essentially quartz. With such precision and legibility of the Journey watch, you’ll never miss a second.
