  A zoomer car that’s propelled with swivel power. You take the wheel, swing it back and forth, and that motion pulls you forward as fast as you please. And mom or dad can even take a turn. On a flat surface, the Plasmacar can support 220 lbs.

• Women’s Satin Pink Terry Robe

  

  BY REQUEST A while ago, Lauren sent a note: “I’m looking for a short, above-the-knee bathrobe that is nice to enough for me to paddle around the dorm halls in on my way to the shower, and cheap enough that I can still buy my books without forgoing food for a week. Can you help?” I like this sweet, affordable robe from Target. It’s cute, but not indecent, and you can throw it in the wash.

  Deciding what to wear each day is exhausting, but designer Johanna Balusikova has taken the problem out of your hands.

She made the winning colors into a set of seven T-shirts, which you can purchase from her site. But red for Wednesday? Come on.

• Burt’s Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream

  

  All the cool kids are into healthy, lacquer-free nails, but your cuticles look like chew toys. Rub in some of this thick, heavy-duty butter, and your nails will look like you just paid someone a horrific amount to buff them for hours. Plus, it smells edibly good, like zingy lemon pie, so nail biters should steer clear. Also works on thirsty elbows and heels.

  According to the product description, Wabi-Sabi is the Japanese philosophy of beauty in imperfect, modest, and unconventional things. Each pendant is made by dropping hot silver into water, so they’re all unique. The red string represents good luck.

• Safari Chef Portable Grill

  

  The Safari Chef is my new favorite camping gizmo. It’s a lightweight stove, grill, non-stick griddle, wok, and boiling pan in one. Everything stacks up nice and neat, and zips into a small carrying bag. My sister in law gave us one for Christmas, and now a few of our friends have bought their own after using ours. For portability and versatility, I prefer it to our two-burner Coleman stove. Not built for backpacking, but great for everything else.
