Struggling to tame a bad habit? The Kitchen Safe ($59) invites you to lock away your temptations until a time of your choosing, Bless This Stuff says. Place cookies, cigarettes, a smartphone, or even a drunk friend's car keys inside, then set the time lock by turning the dial and pushing a button. Three hours or three days later, the lock will release when the time’s up. No overrides are allowed, "which actually makes it so much easier to avoid temptation." Used wisely, this "ingenious" device "helps save you from yourself and helps form good habits."
