Fab Finds: My Little Steamer Go Mini

My Little Steamer Go Mini

This find gets the personal stamp of solid-gold approval. After a visiting houseguest brought hers for a weekend, I made the $19.99 investment. The Go Mini steamer heats up in under a minute, uses regular tap-water and travels – with its pouch – like a dream. Each filling provides 15 minutes of 850-watt steam power. Available in pink and white at Bed, Bath and Beyond locations on Pineville-Matthews Road and South Boulevard. www.bedbathandbeyond.com.

Kudu magnets

Magnets and refrigerators are one of the universe’s most natural pairings. Kudu’s full-sized magnets make it easy to express your artistic side, change the aesthetic of your kitchen decor or just cover the ding your appliance took during your last move. Simply pick the desired print – ranging from illustrations and animals to nature scenes and solid colors – then enter your fridge dimensions and voila. Fixed-size magnets start at $35 and range up to $90; shipping is based on weight. Custom creations are also an option. www.kudumagnets.com.

Decorative light panels

Got a rec room or other space with ceiling tiles? You have options for replacing those plain light-cover panels with fun, funky or inspirational covers. We’ve seen clouds, ocean and beach scenes, faraway galaxies and a slew of sights. Online searches will reveal many options ranging from $30 to $80 per panel. Note: Some images are printed film that lie on top of clear diffuser panels. Others are a hard panel with the image embedded. Make sure you understand what you’re ordering. www.octolights.com.
