Out of all the toothbrush sanitizers we've seen online, the one thing that we can say for about this one is that it's definitely the cutest. The Zapi (even the name's cute) UV toothbrush sanitizer kills up to 99.9% of germs like E. coli and staphylococcus. Things you really don't want on anything that's going anywhere near your mouth.

It just takes 7 minutes for Zapi to use its UV technology to refresh and sanitize your toothbrush. Most standard toothbrushes and electric toothbrush heads fit into Zapi, and this little gizmo even has a removable drip tray for easy cleaning.

So many of us wish we knew how to play the guitar, but we don't all have the time (or the courage) to go and take lessons. This guitar, however, will let you learn by yourself in the privacy of your own home. This acoustic guitar has 132 LEDs integrated into the fretboard that show you exactly where to position your fingers for over 3,000 chords.

Just plug the guitar into your computer (using the included software) and the LEDs are activated. You can learn chords, scales, and entire songs with this guitar. At 25 1/2 scale, the guitars neck and fret length are the same size as standard electric guitars, meaning that you can transition into full rock star status once you've learned the ropes.

"Made with a spruce top with mahogany back, sides, and neck, the guitar has a two-way truss rod to provide control over string action, allowing you to lower the strings closer to the frets for easier chording, or to raise the strings as your skills and technique improve."
