Ambient, makers of the Desktop Scoreboard we recently featured, have truly outdone themselves - and many others. An umbrella that lights up when rain is coming? Genius. If rain is expected in the next 12 hours, the tip of the handle illuminates with a blue glow so you won’t forget it. The system wirelessly retrieves information from Accuweather.com - free of charge. Batteries last about two years (likely depending on whether you live in Seattle or Death Valley). Never forget your umbrella again. Simple - smart. $105 BUY
