25 Multi-Functional Objects That Save You Time and Space

— January 31, 2009 — Unique
If ‘less is more,’ as they say, then what could be better than objects that serve two purposes, eliminating the need to buy two separate products?

Why carry around a can of pepper spray in your bag when you can have a blingy pepper spray ring on your finger to glam up your outfit. And why buy a vacuum cleaner and a lamp when you can have an all-in-one vacuum lamp?

These innovative dual purpose and multi-functional objects save you space, save you time and make multi-tasking a breeze.
