1. Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer: $400
This noiseless hair dryer from one of the world's leading manufacturers of consumer goods looks so out of this world that will have anyone get its attention. It is built with the user's hair and skin health in mind, unlike regular hair dryers that literally 'dry' anyone's hair and scalp with each use. The product is formed into circles where the air is blown out, with the right temperature to further protect the hair. The design is also intuitive to follow the natural waves and curls of the hair, emphasizing the natural volume of anyone using it.
