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:

Featuring 33 hand-drawn, infographic spreads, this award-winning coloring book works as a perfect introduction to climate change and energy issues by presenting complex information in an engaging, user-friendly format digestible for all ages.

This handy charging case designed for iPhones and AirPods can protect your devices while also making sure you never run out of juice. It comes with two modes: one for charging AirPods only, while the other charges your AirPods and iPhone simultaneously.

This vintage-looking camera takes and prints delightfully grainy images on thermal receipt paper (which you can buy in rolls on Amazon or local office supply stores) or on the backs of old receipts.

Waveform prints are back with their striking visualizations of music. This time around, instead of choosing from a library of available songs, backers can choose literally any song in the world for their print—even one of your own! Customize the print further with a wide range of background colors and two available sizes.

You’ll have to rethink how you tell time to use the Circa Solar watch, but in return, you’ll be able to “realign” with the cosmological cycles and patterns that impact our daily lives. The timepiece beautifully visualizes the day-night cycle based on your location and changes with the seasons.
