Amazon Dash Button
For button-pushing enthusiasts, Amazon has come out with more buttons to push. Each dash button is designated for a specific household brand, from Bounty paper towels to Tide laundry detergent. The idea is to stick the adhesive button somewhere close to where you store a specific item. When you run low, click the button and a notification gets sent through the Amazon app on your smartphone, allowing you to order more right then and there. amazon.com
