Drink up!

Cap your tap with Tapi, the water-safe rubber piece that creates a fountain from your water tap. Simply stick the contraption onto your bathroom, kitchen or other faucet tap and hygienically drink or rinse your mouth. Squeeze your Tapi to form a fountain – fun for just about anyone. Tapi fits onto almost all taps with a straight spout and is top-rack dishwasher safe. $5.95.

Right to bare arms

Chilly arms will be charmed by these cute attachable sleeves. Attach Ch*Armz to your bra straps with Velcro tabs and then slip a shirt or blouse over top for a smashing new look. When things heat up, slip off the Ch*Armz. Select from sleeves and shrugs, both available in numerous prints and patterns. $28.

Hot hats

You’ll want to get your paws on these: Hat-imals, animal hats with mittens attached. Got hot hands? Wrap the mittens around as a scarf. At just $15.95, they are sure to be a hot seller for the holidays. Find them in pig, cow, panda, ladybug and more; one size fits most.
