Perhaps it's not as useful as Alka-Seltzer or snooze buttons, but the Simplehuman Sensor Mirror can make mornings easier. Approach it and a gentle LED light turns on, illuminating your face for more precise shaving. Step away and the light shuts off. It's powered by a rechargeable battery, too, so cords won't clutter your valuable counter space. [$200; simplehuman.com]
