True HEPA Tower Air Purifier

What's to love: The new air purifier by Honeywell captures pollen, smoke, mold, pet dander and other airborne particles as small as 0.3 micron or 250 times smaller than the width of a human hair.

What does it do: The tower model is for medium to large rooms such as a living room or master bedroom. It operates quietly and has four air-cleaning levels and can be set to run continuously or two-, four- or eight-hour intervals. A pre-filter absorbs odors and volatile organic compounds. An LED light indicates when filters need to be changed. The purifier is Energy Star-qualified and sells for $189.99.

Walhub

What's to love: A switch plate cover that helps keep the family organized.

What does it do: The switch plate cover comes in several configurations and works with toggle or rocker switches. Replace the current switch plate by the door most commonly used. Use the hook to hang keys, hats, umbrella, items to be mailed, etc. Just grab and go on the way out. Prices range from $9.95 to $15.95.
