Happy Friday, people. Treat yourself.

Carbon
Price: $95
Status: $4,538 of $48,000 goal
Estimated delivery: August 2014
A perpetually recharging backup battery on your wrist, these watch-like devices — available with leather or silicone straps — pack a mini solar cell where the dial would be, and harvest energy from indoor and outdoor light all day long. Phone need a boost? Just plug it in and it can give you three additional precious hours of operating time.

Inceptor
Price: $59
Status: $38,674 of $30,000 goal — FUNDED
Estimated delivery: August 2014
While this Inception-themed board game unfortunately doesn't enable you to actually plant ideas in fellow humans' brains, it does allow you to simulate the act with your fellow players. Frankly, much like the movie it's based on, the directions are a little confusing, but hey — it comes with one of those cool metal spinning top thingys!

Pappeal
Price: $25+
Status: $2,012 of $30,000 goal
Estimated delivery: May 2014
Designed to stand up to abusive subway rides and your general flailing around, Pappeal's duffel, messenger, and backpack are cut from a Tyvek-like material, giving them the crinkly appearance of crumpled paper. But not to worry, they're handsomely stitched so as not to look like you're just carrying your crap in a painter's dropcloth.

Shape Field Chair
Price: $150
Status: $8,837 of $20,000 goal
Estimated delivery: July 2014
The anti-soccer mom chair, this meticulously designed waxed canvas folding seat barely tips the scales at under four pounds, and provides the perfect angle for lounging. It also neatly packs away, perfectly suited to strap on your back while hiking or to carry down to the beach. Bring it, summer.

K-pod
Price: $24
Status: $6,080 of $35,000 goal
Estimated delivery: July 2014
Giving you the freedom to enjoy the plethora of disgusting unique K-cup coffee flavors without splurging on a Keurig machine that'll only further clutter your counter, this plastic device let's you brew them using your existing coffee maker. Simply drop it in the grounds basket, plop in your K-cup of choice, add water and brew away.
