One of the most cost-effective gadgets I got recently was this sorting tray (I found it at Harbor Freight). Yeah, not real innovative or unusual, but what a convenience when sorting through a collection of odd parts.
Speaking of innovative, check out this flexible funnel. I haven't tried it because of its price but it sure seems useful.
