If there's a habit you've got to break it's wiping your device screens, camera lenses, and eyeglasses using your shirt (or even worse, napkins). You're just inviting an inevitable scratch. That's why I recommend keeping one of these in your pocket, purse, or travel bag for cleaning screens, not only because of their safe microfiber material, but because these look less like geek cleaning cloths and more like chic handkerchiefs or pocket squares. Available in a variety of styles and colors.
Sundvik Children's Desk
• $59.99
• IKEA
Is your child ready to graduate from a small activity table? This is a great little starter desk with room for school or art supplies. Fits in small spaces and comes in white or brown-black.
MoreTabletop Mosquito Repeller
• $29.95
• Hammacher Schlemmer
At first I thought this soda can sized device was an ultrasonic sound mosquito repellent, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover the battery powered accessory utilizes plant-derived essential oils to naturally repel annoying warm weather bugs. Instead of a loud bug zapper, the tabletop repeller uses the cocktail of floral scents of geranium, peppermint and lemongrass to lightly perfume the air while creating a safe insect-free perimeter mosquitos, gnats, and midges find as annoying as you find their buzz in your ear and bites on your rear.
MoreJust Mobile HeadStand
• $49.95
• Just Mobile
So maybe your headphones aren't a jaw-dropping $1,500, but even your Bose, Sony, or Beats by Dre cans deserve a safe spot for storage while not on your head. This all-aluminum headphone stand takes nothing by a Phillips screwdriver to put together, and afterward you'll have a handsome spot to hang and display your headphones at arm's length, instead of cluttering your desk or precariously hanging from the corner of a monitor.

• $199.99
• Cost Plus World Market
This ottoman has a few things going for it for families with young kids: it has storage, it's round and soft and it's on casters and can be moved around as needed.

To be honest, I should probably avoid the temptation of ordering one of these, as I'm on the iPad already too much. But if you're fortunate enough to live in the coverage range of MCV's Dyle mobile TV service, you can take your couch potato inclinations wherever you want using this add-on 30-pin connection TV receiver, designed to be used in conjunction with the Dyle TV app and an iPad or iPhon. Watch live TV local broadcasts without the need for an HDTV antenna or cable subscription (for example, here in LA, I can watch 6 local channels using the app), an ideal sidekick for streaming content services with programming streamed via wi-fi or network connection.

MoreLemon Wallet
• FREE
• iPhone/Windows Phone/Android
I'm personally looking forward to the day when our phones eliminate cluttered collections of credit cards, receipts, business cards, and cash stowed away into already overstuffed wallets. Actually...you can do it now! The Lemon Wallet app allows users to digitize copies of an assortment of identification and payment cards – ID, insurance, loyalty and credit cards – for use and safe keeping. Everything is encrypted, with a security PIN required to access/use the virtual counterparts of your wallet (if you lose your phone, you can remotely unlink it from your account from your computer), with the ability to photograph and store receipts right from the app for easier budgeting. The question is, who amongst us is courageous enough to ditch the wallet altogether?
