While our photo of these wool sheepskin slippers is not that thrilling, I can tell you that when our staff first saw these, everyone wanted a pair for themselves- me included! Why are they so special? They are manufactured in the same factory as Ugg boots and have a really rugged sole so that you can quite happily step out onto your deck or your front doorstep to collect the paper in winter. For all of us who can slip on our bathroom or hardwood floors- the soles on these slippers give you a firmer grip than your sneakers! Let’s not forget that the uppers are lovely soft sheepskin suede, and have a really plush inner sheepskin lining. Mens and Womens sizes. $59.95

My mouth literally dropped open when I first saw this air purifier. It is a first class, quiet, powerful air purifier that only uses 10 watts on its HIGHEST fan speed – a fraction of a low wattage light bulb. This is an air purifier that you can afford to keep going, day and night, without running up your electric bill - and for people like me that is important. I regard this as an astonishing feat of ecological engineering. No air purifier, let alone one with a fan is so energy miserly. It would not be worth a hill of beans if it wasn’t the highest performing air purifier that Blueair has ever manufactured. What’s more, its filters can be vacuumed to prolong its life. The entire Blueair ECO10 unit is recyclable; including the polypropylene HEPASilent filters which can be vacuumed to prolong their life. Can’t say enough good things about this machine, and I firmly believe it is worth the extra price. It got a 5-star rating from me and I do not give that out often. $899.95

If you or your family are in need of a surprisingly good, little desk top air purifier at a bargain price, then this new Hepa grade filter is virtually maintenance free as it can be cleaned by vacuuming it. It is small enough to put in your suitcase for travel. I think the Allergen Reducer is one of our best and easily overlooked items. $59.95

I am now in to my fourth winter season of using our Air-O-Swiss 7133 humidifier. The Air-O-Swiss 7133 and 7135 models get my favorite vote as a humidifier because they are reliable, silent, can be warm or cool mist, and disperse water vapor into a room at a fast clip. The price on the 7133 model has now been reduced and we are the only company that is offering this humidifier at the new low price with a bonus ionic stick included. With the heating now turned on my husband’s snoring is keeping me awake so I am dusting off our Air-O-Swiss, putting in a replacement demineralization cartridge and I will be all set for another winter season. Sale price of the 7133 model (manual dials) is now $119.99. The best selling 7135 model with digital controls is $159.95.

I have sneered at jug water filters for years, as usually their capacity for filtering water is rudimentary. However, with this jug water filter I am taking it all back. This large capacity water filtration pitcher by Ecor Enviromental is the only brand with 4 stages of effective filtration to remove hundreds of contaminants such as iron, lead, mercury and bacteria from your water. It is slim lined and nicely designed and the filter only needs replacing once a year- so how good is that! $44.95

I showed this Hydrogen powered model car to a bunch of high tech CEOs who all wanted one for themselves - forget about the kids! This is a big kid toy.

In 2006 this was Time magazine’s best new toy of the year. $114.99.The Science Kits at $259.99 are what we are giving to the grand kids this holiday season.
