Jewelry Cleaner

This is a great gift for women who already have everything. It is the ultrasonic jewelry cleaner which was rated the best in the world by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute. This cleaner uses normal tap water and sends ultrasonic waves through the water to remove dust particles and dirt from jewelry. It has a 16 oz. stainless steel tank and an easy-to-read maximum fill line. It also has a three-minute auto-shutoff setting and a viewing window with a light which illuminates the interior while in use. This jewelry cleaner is also suitable for precious metals and gems, waterproof watches, CDs, dentures, and eyeglasses. You can find this great gift at Hammacher.com.

These cool chalkboard animals wall art is such an innovative idea. It is a great way for the children to express their creativity and let their imagination run wild.

These decorations can be arranged however you like and easily removed without leaving any traces on the wall. They can also be re-used, over and over again. Check them out at Dreamtimebaby.com.

The Dunk Mug

One of the things that I love doing is dunking my cookies into a cup of coffee. Normally I would get a plate to hold the cookies but you know how fiddly it is…trying to hold a cup of coffee and balancing a plate of cookies. Well, with this new and very clever invention – The Dunk Mug, we can now say goodbye to cookie plates. No more extra washing to do too. This smart ceramic mug features a special compartment in which to store your beloved cookies and can hold up to 3 cookies. The mug is available for lefties with the handle of the mug on the other side. Visit Firebox.com for more information.

Room Divider

Room dividers can provide privacy and are also great to break up space in a large room. Some people like to use shelves or bookcases as room dividers. They work well as they are sturdy and offer storage spaces. However, if you are looking for something which allows some light into the room, then a hanging room divider is the solution. An example would be this hanging room divider which is made from bamboo rings. This stunning piece allows plenty of light through and is available at Fusion Home Store for $299.99.

Getting Rid Of Bugs The Easy Way

barbara

For someone like me who is so afraid of insects and bugs, this handy gadget is just perfect. I can easily get rid of them without having to use my hands (yikes) or scramble around the place looking for paper to swat them. This Rechargable Insect and Bug Vacuum is the cleanest and healthiest way to rid the home from pesky creepy crawlers. Not only would the vacuum suck the critters into the vacuum bag, it would also exterminate them with a jolt of electricity.

This handy tool has a internal trap door which prevents the bugs from crawling or flying out. To empty the chamber, all you have to do is simply unlock the wand and empty the contents into the trash. Another great feature of this tool is that it has a flexible rubber tip to trap bugs even in corners and an extendable nozzle to help reach high spots. The Insect and Bug Vacuum has the powers to suck up to hundreds of bugs. Available at Smart Home for $49.99.
