The Coolest Inventions From the 2025 Consumer Electronics Show
If the future had a showroom floor, it would look a lot like CES. Every year, the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas sets the stage for the next wave of innovation—and 2025 didn’t disappoint. This year’s standout innovations weren’t just smarter—they were also more helpful, more inclusive, and, in some cases, just plain delightful.
Here’s our roundup of the eight coolest, quirkiest, and most potentially game-changing gadgets from the show floor:
1) A Spoon That Electrifies Your Taste Buds (In a Good Way)
If you’ve ever been told to cut down on salt, the Kirin Electric Salt Spoon might just be your new favorite kitchen tool. Developed by Japan’s Kirin Holdings with research from Meiji University, this spoon uses tiny electrodes to make food taste saltier—without adding any sodium. With four intensity settings, it’s designed to help people reduce salt intake while still enjoying full flavor. Bonus: It looks as sleek as it sounds.
This spoon is only available in Japan for now, but a global rollout is on Kirin’s radar.
2) A Garden Camera That Watches Bugs (Yes, Really)
Pollinators are essential for food security, and now there’s a gadget to help us appreciate them more. Meet the Petal—a bright orange, flower-shaped A.I. camera designed to monitor bees, butterflies, and other insects in your garden. It can even track plant growth and sprouting seeds.
Not a gardener? The same company offers modular Wonder Blocks, which combine planters with bug hotels. Insect nerds, rejoice.
3) Needle-Free Injections, Finally
Say goodbye to needle anxiety. The Dutch company FlowBeams introduced BoldJet, a needle-free injection system that uses lasers to create high-speed “liquid microjets” that deliver vaccines and medications through the skin—without the poke.
Not only does it reduce pain and fear, but it also minimizes medical waste and accidental needle sticks. It even snagged a 2025 CES Innovation Award.
4) Smart At-Home Fertility Tests
With OB-GYN shortages across the U.S., Vivoo’s new line of at-home fertility tests offers a bit more empowerment for aspiring parents. Their app-connected urine strips track ovulation, hormone levels, and more—all from home.
Though not a full replacement for medical care, they provide helpful insights and trend tracking for those navigating fertility journeys.
5) Lipstick That Applies Itself
Accessibility in beauty tech took a major step forward with Boticário’s A.I.-powered lipstick prototype. Designed for people with visual impairments or limited mobility, the smart applicator uses sensors to detect your lips and a robotic arm to apply color evenly.
Paired with easy-grip brushes from the same company, this tech pushes cosmetics toward a more inclusive future.
6) Coffee. From. Thin. Air.
We’re not kidding. The Kara Pod pulls water from the air—up to 13 cups daily—and brews coffee using plant-based pods. It’s equipped with UV filtration, ensuring your cup of joe is fresh and clean.
Inspired by a desert beetle that survives by capturing humidity, this $299 machine is coming later this year. For coffee lovers and off-grid adventurers alike, this one’s a dream.
7) A Wearable Memory Aid for Everyday Life
Struggling to remember conversations or directions? The Bee Pioneer is like an external hard drive for your brain. This smartwatch-like wearable transcribes your conversations (but doesn’t store audio), and its app helps you recall key details later.
At just $49, it’s affordable—and potentially life-changing for people with ADHD or memory loss. Premium features come with a $12/month subscription.
8) Mind-Controlled Tech—Without Surgery
Brain-powered gadgets without the brain surgery? Yes, please. NAQI Neural Earbuds use tiny face and eye movements to control tech—like turning on a light by clenching your teeth or adjusting volume by tilting your head.
They’re aimed at creating more accessible interactions with everyday devices and earned a CES Innovation Award for good reason.
Final Thoughts
While CES is always a stage for flashy innovation, 2025’s standouts show a shift toward tech that’s not just cool—but kind. From making beauty routines more accessible to easing medical fears or giving your brain a break, this year’s inventions feel like they’re here to help.
And honestly? That’s the kind of future we can all get behind.
