# Inflatable Bookmarks Abracadabra By lourdes sanchez bayas | Published 2008-03-19 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abracadabra-the-inflatable-bookmark References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/index.php/2008/03/17/puffy-bookmark/) This a [cute bookmark](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snapmark). The **Abracadabra** has two sides to it and one of them comes inflated. When you place the [inflated part](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giant-inflatables) in your book to mark your place, the weight of the book deflates it. When you go back to your reading, you need to squeeze the half that's sticking out and this will re-inflate the side marking your book. Presto. Finally, you can use [old Abracadabra bookmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookmark-maestro) to make art like the stuff shown here. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Inflatable Bookmarks:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new materials and designs for more durable and long-lasting inflatable bookmarks. - **Bookmark Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a platform or marketplace for artists to showcase and sell artwork made from recycled inflatable bookmarks. - **Interactive Bookmarks:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate technology, such as QR codes or NFC tags, into inflatable bookmarks to provide additional interactive content or features. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Publishing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with bookmark manufacturers to create branded inflatable bookmarks for book releases or promotional campaigns. - **Arts and Crafts:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop DIY kits or workshops that teach people how to repurpose inflatable bookmarks into unique art pieces. - **E-commerce:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Build an online marketplace specifically for inflatable bookmarks, catering to niche interests and designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cheekily Creative Bookmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illustrated-bookmarks.md) - [Personality-Forward Bookmark Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humdrum-paper.md) - [Whimsical Theater-Themed Bookends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-bookend.md) - [Reading Book Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/penguin-x-moebe.md) - [Compact Functional Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookmarker-table.md) - [Novel-Inspired Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/book-wallets.md) - [Versatile Book Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/penguin-x-moebe-book-stand.md) - [Convenient Book Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/android-book-light.md) - [Book-Themed Plush Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/punchkins-book-plushies.md)
