The Tooth Tunes Toothbrush plays a tune and sends the vibrations via your jaws, while you're brushing, into your inner ears. The tune plays for 2 minutes, the recommended time for brushing your teeth. There is a wide range of tunes to choose from and each toothbrush plays a different tune.

Leo mentioned this gadget-holder back in Episode 375. If you can't wait for your own custom made gadget cabinet, have a look at the eNook.
