Alarm clocks that can be programmed to not go off on weekends and holidays without having to actually turn the things off and then remember to turn them back on.

I got one of them.

Smart alarm clocks aren't just a British thing. My phone has a setting on the clock where you can pick the days it goes off. :P

Kitten mittens.  ;D

Those have already been thought of. But, they're spelled kitten mittens, and you'll be smitten.   ;D

Buy bigger shoes. I see young ladies tottering around in enormous feet- sculptures these days.

Any way of making baseball less than totally tedious would be a great invention.  Extra points for any means of keeping spectators awake during cricket.

Apart from electrifying the seats or naked cheerleaders, I can't think of anything.
