Fabulous fit and function

Searching for support? Look no further. Don't be fooled by the "one size fits all" claim of the Coobie Bra: Broads of all sizes will be smitten with the Coobie's support and comfort. This seamless garment (read: no underwire or scratchy hooks) is suited for basically any body. Wear it to bed, to yoga, or under that low-cut shirt in lieu of a camisole. Once you try the Coobie Bra, there's no way you'll be able to resist getting another. And at $20 each, you can afford it. Available in multiple colors.

Got game?

When witty with words meets coffee connoisseur, the result can be a match made in heaven. Coffee or tea lovers fond of the wildly addictive Words With Friends game will get giddy over Wild & Wolf's Scrabble mugs. You select the letter to suit you; one side shows a letter and its Scrabble value while the other gives the distribution chart. The mugs are dishwasher- and microwave-safe; at just $10.95, they also make a great gift.

Wrap it up

Toting tots, traveling or trying to organize? Then you need to check out the "bundle" by the buti bag co. Designed with a mom in mind, the bundle features multiple pockets of varying sizes. Some have a zipper, some simply open, and some have closure straps. The soft, polyester, water-repellent lining within makes for safekeeping and safe travels; the varying sizes make for an organizational dream come true. It's great not only for diapering essentials, but also for a first aid kit, toiletries and cosmetics.

Bundles come in fun, funky fabrics on the outside; they measure 10" wide and unroll to 27" long. They retail for $59.99 and can be found at A Woman's View Boutique within Presbyterian Hospital.
