T-fal Powerglide Steam Iron

What's to love: Paint made especially for the front door in a variety of fun and modern colors.

What does it do: It quickly changes the feel of a home and improves its curb appeal by transforming the front door with a new color. The water-based paint comes in an easy to use plastic screw-top quart jar. Modern Masters says it is hard-wearing, never fades, is quick to dry and can also be used on shutters. It comes in 25 colors and sells for $38.95. Paint colors and more information may be found at modernmasters.com.

T-fal Powerglide Steam Iron

What's to love: The iron physically removes the tap-water scale deposits before they build up and clog the steam vents on the soleplate.

What does it do: Prolongs the life of the iron by collecting lime scale in the base of the iron that results from using tap water in the device. The only maintenance is cleaning out the collector every few months. The iron also has a two-layer heat plate with aluminum for good heat and steam diffusion and enamel for optimal glide. T-fal says this iron is its most powerful, with 50 percent more steam output than the company's basic iron. The Powerglide also has vertical steaming to de-wrinkle hanging items such as drapes. It sells for $44.99.
