5 Great Kickstarter Gadgets

Kickstarter, the “funding platform for creative products,” has produced an entire ecosystem of fun and innovative projects, including plenty of nifty gadgets. Kickstarter gets its cool factor from the way it upends traditional product funding and development, replacing corporate R&D departments and venture capitalists with communities of interested enthusiasts. Anyone with a good idea can start a funding campaign on Kickstarter. People who like the idea pledge money to the project and get a reward in return — usually the product itself when it comes on the market.

Kickstarter projects are brand-new ideas brought to market in a new way, so they’re guaranteed to be a unique gift — perfect for that loved one who has everything or just loves to be on the cutting edge.
