Must-Haves

Re-Markable Shoes

Kids change their minds about their style just as often as their moods, so two California entrepreneurs have created shoes that kids can "design" over and over again.

Graffeeti sneakers feature three dry-erase panels that can be drawn on - and erased - as often as your child wants.

Complete with a set of six non-toxic, dry erase markers and a holster for one marker right on each shoe itself, these sneakers are sure to make a statement.

Gadget of the Week: Calisto Pro Phone

Holding the phone is so 2007.

The latest gadget-of-our-dreams is the Calisto Pro home phone from Plantronics. Combining up to three phones into one, the Bluetooth headset and cordless phone solve the problem of lunging for your cell, Internet or home phone while you're on the computer, diapering the baby, cooking dinner or folding laundry.

The small, cordless home unit clips to your belt or pant pocket while the headset easily switches between landline, Internet (like Skype) and mobile calls with a single touch of a button.

And, thanks to the headset’s noise canceling microphone, your voice comes through clearly even if you've got rambunctious kids in the background.

Control Top

Tired of bra lines and...dare we say it...back bulge showing through your tops and dresses? We've got infinite options for taming our tummies, so it's about time someone took it up a notch.

Sassybax, a line of bras and fitted tanks designed to smooth out unsightly bumps, trades traditional straps and hooks for a nylon microfiber to offer comfortable and seamless support.

Think of it as a control top top.

Available online at Sassybax.com.
