    Meet Olly! Your online notifications go in, and smells come out. Say what?! Let them explain:

You can fill Olly with any smell you like, and the lil guy is also stackable — meaning you can have different smells for different notifications. Bacon to wake up with? Your best friends cologne to remind you when it’s time for that dinner date? Buttered popcorn for new movie notifications? So many ideas! And with the ability for services to be added by any developer with an inkling, the possibilities seem truly endless. View high resolution
