Navigating the world of crowdfunding can be overwhelming, to put it lightly. Which projects are worth backing? Where’s the filter to weed out the hundreds of useless smart devices? To make the process less frustrating, we scour the various online crowdfunding platforms to put together a weekly roundup of our favorite campaigns for your viewing (and spending!) pleasure. Go ahead, free your disposable income:

By now there are plenty of indoor gardening systems to choose from, but this one sets itself apart with a super small footprint (it’ll only take up 2.5 square feet of floor space) and a fully automated hydroponic system so even brown thumbs can enjoy the benefits of gardening.

A spinner wheel on the handle of this upgraded screwdriver system maximizes torque so you can get your projects done with less effort.

Here’s a waterproof, lightweight cushion that you can throw on any seat to immediately transform it into an ergonomic one. It’s designed to keep your back straight, shoulders up and ensure that your body achieves its natural S-Curve.

Can a lamp remind us of the value of energy? The DINA lamp seeks to do just that—you’ll have to insert a coin to get it to work. But this is just a gentle reminder: the amount you put in won’t impact how long you can keep the light on. To turn it off, you just pull the wooden nob and the coin will fall into the wooden base, where you can retrieve it at any time.

The Narwal robot mop and vacuum will clean your floors then go to its nifty dock where it will clean itself before it goes back out there and does it again!
