There's just something cool about saying "Yeah, I made my own ice cream". Bought as a gift for the kids, my wife and I ended up taking this thing over. The Nostalgia Cream Maker was incredibly easy to use. Basic ingredients. Simple directions. Surprisingly delicious ice cream. It gets a bit loud, so you might want to find a discreet location to churn away.

If you like cool, brisk breezes, you'll love the Lasko Portable Electric 42" Oscillating Tower Fan. It's quite. It has an ionizer (I had to Google it too). It has a little remote control. And, it doesn't take up much space. We use it for "white noise" when going to bed.  The only bummer...you don't sound like Darth Vader when speaking through the vents.

Our office computers all use bluetooth keyboards and mice which burn through batteries. Duracell - Ion Speed 1000 Battery Charger with 4 AA Batteries turned out to be a complete game-changer. When power is low, we have charged batteries ready to roll. Make sure to double up when buying the batteries. You'll be able to rotate the charged and uncharged batteries, never running out of juice. Plus, you'll help reduce your ecological footprint.
