Swivel socket will probably solve the fiddling-with-the-wires solution. Because it rotates 180 degrees, it becomes easy to attach a variety of plugs and because it allows you to select the icon showing what you have attached, this actually qualifies as a very handy thing.

Like the name of the switch, it actually asks the plugs to hang on until they are in use again. The design is pretty simple and like the caption goes “You can save energy in safe and convenient ways”.

This one is a great multiplier as well as space saver. When not in use just push the rest of the body back into the wall. Simple and effective.

Horned switches serving as hands. Fit in your cell phones between the horns. Adds a bit of novelty to your walls.

This rotating outlet seems to have sockets for every kind of plug. So whether you travel to USA, Europe or Asia, this one fits in anywhere. Just rotate and plug in.

This one is a wild idea by some designer who wanted to solve switch problems for once and for all. He made an entire wall full of sockets! But forgot to tell us which one’s are for real.
