Mugs that heat themselves, to glasses that let you post hands-free. No, it's not black magic. We're talking about 2025's hottest drops, that'll make you scream: “Shut up and take my money”

What sorcery is this?

1 LiberLive C1 Stringless Smart Guitar.

Purists will hate it. But the stringless LiberLive C1 is less a reinvention and more a reimagining of what a guitar can be. It ditches strings for light-sensitive LED sensors. You “play” by tapping along an illuminated fretboard, translating every gesture into sound with startling precision. It also pairs with a companion app, which offers real-time riff tutorials and loop recording.

The magic behind last year's viral beauty moment at the Maison Margiela show, where models showed off unreal porcelain skin, only to peel it off in one quick move. This is Mother at her best. Her light-reflective spray doesn't just set makeup, it delivers radiance without a hint of slip or shine, making it as runway-ready as it is real-world wearable.

image3 Ember Mug 2.

For anyone who's ever microwaved the same coffee twice, here's a sleek upgrade. Unlike most mugs with preset temps, Ember lets you choose your perfect heat (48°C to 62°C) and holds it for 80 minutes (or all day on its heated coaster). It's matte, minimal, and smart enough to remember your settings, sleep when idle, and wake when you pour. It doesn't just warm coffee, it eliminates the need to.
