One approach that you might take is taking a simple existing product that is cheap and making it high-end. Jelly Belly did this with the jelly bean. Those jelly beans are pretty darn expensive...and good. People pay a premium for them. Coffee used to cost .59 a cup at McDonald's. People wouldn't have dreamed of paying $5 a cup 20 years a go. Now, look at all of the caffeine junkies in line at Starbucks every morning paying $5 to get a fix of high-end coffee. Once again, they made the product and the brand high-end. Auntie Annie Pretzels...another example of where a product has become high-ended. Look at the variety available. I can buy 6 frozen soft pretzels for $1.50 at Target. TV used to be free...now people pay for premium tv (HBO, Showtime...etc...).
So, I guess my thought is to look around at different items that people consume that are cheap, and look for a way to improve them and then charge them 10 times what they are currently willing to pay and rake in the dough. What is next? Soup? Cereal? Altoids did it with breath mints. What can you make high-end?

The edible hats idea is a funny one!
The flipsign (for in your car) was already done (maybe in the '70s?) - my cousin had one and it had things that said that a guy was cute or whatever.
The medical tricorder - I wish! I'm often wishing for that one. Please, doctor, just tell me what is actually the most wrong with my body, so I can work on it and fix it before things go horribly wrong. I also want the EMH from Star Trek - the emergency medical hologram. With his knowledge and tools, he could cure us all!
I actually do have some real ideas, but I can't post them here. The problem is, there's no way to manufacture things without a ton of money. I've always thought that there should be a website that connects companies with people who have ideas (with no cost to the inventor, only to the companies who buy the idea). You could start up that type of site (and give me a cut please - yeah, I'm sure you will).

All the answers lie in Star Trek. Who wouldn't want a food replicator that instantly presents you with the meal of your choice at your command? Or a transporter so you can instantly be beamed to any location without having to worry about traffic or delays? Or how about the medical tricorder so doctors could actually tell what's wrong with you and treat it instead of guessing? I was born in the wrong century. Or reality.

even with the undeniable fact that i'm tempted to propose determining to purchase her a quantity of cartoons from Unshelved via the librarians Gene Ambaum and bill Barnes, if she exchange into so on the factor of the youngsters, i think of it may verify to create a retirement e book for her: Have a image of a newborn in a chef's outfit with the message that for the duration of her retirement, she'll consume his nutrition. Have a image of a newborn in a pilot's uniform with the message that for the duration of her retirement, he will fly her the place she desires to pass. Have a image of a newborn in a baseball uniform with the message that she will carry on with him on WGN (or whichever station hosts the main familiar close by team) etc. of direction, the e book of librarian comics is lots much less artwork, so you might in basic terms pass with that.

There have been many times while driving about that I have wanted to communicate to other drivers a variety of things, including the following:
"Your blinker is on, stupid"
"Speed up. We're not at a funeral."
"Jackass!"
"Nice headlights"
I think a sign system would work. A flip sign with several sayings included. As you pass the ******, show 'em your sign!
