What does it do: Setup requires plugging the camera directly into a wireless router with the included Ethernet cord and then downloading the Vimtag app to a smartphone. Then one can log into the device through the app and watch high-quality video with clear audio. The camera even provided a good image in the dark and offered the option to record stills or video directly to the phone. After joining a wireless network, the camera just needs an outlet for power and a good perch to sit upon. Just under 5 inches tall, it sells for $129.99.

What's to love: Sacks made of washable paper fabric that come in a variety of sizes for a variety of needs.

What does it do: The handmade sacks are lightweight and made with a blend of wood fiber and recycled polyester felt. They can be hand-washed and reused. The sacks can be folded or cuffed to be used in a variety of ways, including storage or organization. A three-piece set with a bag in each size -- small, medium and large -- sells for $77 and comes in white, sand, stone, chocolate and black. A set in the color called shine -- a metallic silver -- sells for $87. More information is at urbanasacs.com.
