Full disclosure: I live for clever products on Amazon, so much so that I find myself on the lookout for the latest mind-blowing innovations regularly. And every now and then, I'm lucky enough to come across some truly unique items that I can't help but share with my friends and family.

It's fun to introduce the people you know to products that'll help make their lives easier — and this mop-and-bucket cleaning system is a good example. Also, as you probably know, it can be difficult to perfectly slice an avocado in half and then remove its core. Wouldn't it be great if there were a tool that could do it all? Allow me to introduce you this three-in-one avocado device. Dig through this list to find even more clever items that you and your friends are going to love.
