These Tear-Free Onion Glasses are probably not as high tech as they could be (there’s no Bluetooth connectivity for example), but they appear to do the job. Which is to stop you crying your little heart out while chopping onions.

Admit it, you’ve always wanted to look like a bit of a gonk in the kitchen. Well here’s your chance. And hey, now you’ll probably be able to hold a half reasonable conversation while up to your arms in peelings and silver slivers. Bargain.

We would have preferred to have seen a version with a free app which measured your chopping rate, wastage and the accuracy of your tiny cubes, but you can’t have it all, can you? At least you’ll be safe from the kitchen sniffles. $19.95.
