There's a brilliant solution to a problem women deal with all the time -- what do you do with your purse in a restaurant? Put it on nasty germy floors? Grab a spare chair? Hang it on the back of your seat where it can get stolen? Enter the Purse Hook, an absolutely gorgeous array of lightweight fasteners that are simply hooked on the table edge for the purse to hang from. Able to hold up to 35 lbs., it works for groceries too. $19.99- $39.99 depending on the design. Buy on-line at pursehook.net.

A great stocking stuffer for the chef wannabe, the perfect peeler rotates to vertical, horizontal, and 45-degree positions so you can use it both right- and left-handed to peel anything.

Dishwasher safe and dull-proof. $19.99 at Home Outfitters and other major stores. Or visit kyoceraadvancedceramics.com.

Long flights can be uncomfortable and miserable, especially as there seems to never be enough support for your neck and back. The First Class Sleeper was developed by an airline pilot and endorsed by orthopedic surgeons and provides optimal support for the lower back, head and shoulders. Sufferers of chronic back pain can fold it in half for lumbar support. It inflates easily with only a few breaths of air (or use the plane's overhead airflow valve), folds to the size of a travel umbrella and weighs just 17 ounces. $39.99 from Hedonics, 800-387-5533 or hedonics.com.
