17 Creative Minds Who Found the Best Life Solutions

Simple but genius designs, like turning your mailbox into a water fountain or laying a weighted glove on a baby, can truly improve our lives. Sometimes it’s just a matter of small solutions that we never thought about, like making a sling for a clingy kitten who won’t let you work. However big or small though, all of these designs are unique and deserve to be seen by the world.

At Bright Side, we value the innovative spirit and love to see people’s new ideas, so we found some extra unique ones to share with you all.
