Here's a quick idea someone could make some money off of. The paper that comes on hangers from the cleaners is called a cape. People seem to like the fresh scent that fabric softeners add to their clothes so cleaners could offer scented caped hangers as an optional item. That way the scent would stay with the clothes a lot longer. (There could be other scents too, but you probably wouldn't want to mix too many of them together in one closet.)

Many a blustery, winter day I've walked around campus, attempting to listen to my walkman/discman/mp3 player while trying to cover my ears as well. Hats just don't do the trick, and it's about as dorky as it can be to be traipsing around with a ski cap pulled so far down on one's head. I propose that headphones be inserted into earmuffs... I had a rather large pair of head phones that I used AS ear-muffs, but this still wasn't as refined as the invention could be. Make 'em cute and there...

Cheap garments and footwear often wear out very quickly, so the savings made by consumers are illusory - they soon need to be replaced. Can we develop scientifically based measurements of the durability of garments and footwear, and include this information on labels? Then when shopping we can compare the durability of these items as well as the price. This would also force manufacturers to compete on durability as well as price. In Australia where I live the market has been...

Design mirrored nail polish or clip-on nails such that the wearer can check their face discreetly and at any time.

Every morning when you get you pau on your slippers, and they're always cold. I suggest having a little electric heater in the slippers, which is on a timer and heats them up 15 minutes before you get up, so you then have warm slippers in the morning.

Sew a pocket like a pouch at the foot of a comforter. Big enough to slide both feet in and you have a foot warmer comforter.

Remember the times when people where looking down on everbody who had a tatoo? Well, the same is probably true when someone discovers that the remainders of the salad you had for lunch are still sticking to your front tooth. But this is only a problem for prejudiced people. In the near future, this will be a priviledge: people will be able to choose color and shape of the food particles that are sticking to their teeth. Of course, since the food particles are artificial, they will not...

Colored Bleach infused with water based unbleachable dye that will take out the old color immediately and add the new color in varying degrees for a unique, designer look. It can be added to the wash, or spot your clothes, leaving behind light to dark colors behind like a full spectrum of one color. When you heat set, the dyed clothes in the dryer or with an iron, the colors become permanent. This is non-toxic dye within the bleach. Fantastic look when you pour it on or spray it on your...

Gold has been woven into clothing for a long time. If we weave metal thin enough, it can be made into clothing or blankets or any cloth. We have an overload of extra recycled metal. We could turn any metal into cloth and make things that have many uses if woven thin enough. It costs the USA Government money to recycle aluminum right now.

Thick, warm, versatile, obsorbant, breathable, very cofortable, designish, unique and novel just to name a few qualities of taking an average running shoe sports sock material and adding a zipper in the front and wearing it as a full body suit. You could design them to look like any kinds of clothing. You could make it a two piece outfit with tops and bottoms if you wish. Other clothes are made with similar materials but are not woven the same and this kind of sock material would be...
