quirky, ben kaufman, tech gifts, inventors, inventions, ideasI had never heard of Quirky until this week when I met the CEO and founder, Ben Kaufman, at a Consumer Reports media and marketing summit. Let me tell you, I now know all about Quirky, and I feel like it is my duty to share this awesome company with our readers!

Quirky is a company that creates new products based on people’s ideas and inventions.  That is right, you and I can submit our ideas to them, and the panel of board members votes weekly on which ideas could actually become a viable product to be sold in real life!  I think this concept is amazing. The collaboration between Quirky board members, employees and the online community is incredibly innovative, and it works!  Read about the Quirky Process here.

While at the meeting, Ben showed us the latest product to hit the shelves. Its called Pivot Power, and it is a power strip that is movable and bendable so you can actually plug everything in to just one power strip!  Check out the video here .

Quirky sells everything from pet products to wine racks. Everything has a new and unique spin to it, as evidenced by this Bobble Brush, a toothbrush holder that bobbles and always keeps your brush upright and clean! How cool is this?

If you are like me, there is someone in your life that has everything and seems to need nothing!  Check out Quirky’s array of unique and quirky gifts and you are sure to be the one who gives them the best gift.  This is one of my new go to sites and I cant wait for the holidays to roll around again. Happy Shopping everyone!
