We all leave notes for others from time to time. Whether we live with parents, spouses, roommates or kids, it seems like our schedules are so busy that face-to-face communication is not always possible. The Record Me concept, designed by Luc van Hoeckel, is a neat alternative to sticky notes left all over the place, letting you easily record your notes in your own voice.

As demonstrated in the above video, the recorder works with a simple series of touches. One touch to record, another to stop recording. A touch to replay the message and a longer touch to erase it. Various colored lights let you know which of the 12 positions hold a message waiting to be listened to.

Despite looking suspiciously like a smoke detector, the Record Me is a cute, playful concept. It would allow you to be just as passive-aggressive as written notes (if you’re into that sort of thing), but with the added benefit of allowing housemates to actually hear the tone of your voice.

Even though most of us keep our shopping lists, notes, phone numbers and other vital information in our phones these days, there are still times when we find ourselves scrawling some info on our palms. For those times, these awesome watch-shaped Post-it notes could be all kinds of useful.

The little yellow strips of paper are shaped just like wrist watches and feature a single point of gummy adhesive to hold them together on your wrist. They stick usefully right where you can see them, letting you scrawl all you want without marring your skin with ugly ink marks.
