Combination gadgets can be decidedly strange —alarm clocks that make bacon, pens with built-in flashlights, and Swiss army knives with toddler-sized scissor attachments, to name a few. If you’re in search of a gadget that can boast functionality as well as novelty, check out the Weather Station Shower Mirror, a three-in-one that won’t have you scratching your head over its usefulness.
Time, date, current weather conditions, and weather forecast all appear in a handy sidebar beside a 7"x7" mirror. The mirror attaches to shower walls with suction cups, and also comes with a handy shelf underneath to hold your shaving gear or face wash. Keep an eye on the time while you adjust your facial-hair-to-weather ratio, or make shampoo mohawks in the fog-free, LED backlit mirror.
The Weather Station Shower Mirror runs on AA and AAA batteries, and is priced at $49.98. Find it online at taylorgifts.com or amazon.com.—Lucy Kim
