Fill your home with fab fragrances. There are tons of options to give your home an inviting aroma that will delight both you and your guests. I'm a big fan of tropical, citrus scents like mandarin and grapefruit. These fragrances are light but fresh and invigorating. From left to right, I love the window box home fragrance sachets from Crabtree & Evelyn (left), the grapefruit and pear air enhancer from Method (middle) and the Casa tropical grapefruit soy candle (right).

Simple storage just got a whole lot more stylish! With options like this, who wouldn't want to get things in order? These whimsical, retro-inspired valises might make you want to pack your bags and hop on a plane to gay Paris or something but alas, this little luggage won't quite stand up to the task of international travel. But they will do just nicely, thank you very much, for hiding your mess away, far from view. Store papers or bills or anything else that causes a bit of an unsightly mess around your house. No one will ever guess what's inside; instead, these fancy but functional pieces will just add a dash of colour and a heaping of style to any room. Best of all, they're super affordable!
Available online: pinklovesbrown.com.
Price: Small, $10; Large, $12

OK, company's coming and you've got a laundry list of things to do, as long as your arm. As if preparing the house isn't enough work, you've got to cook, too! You need a food processor to take the, um, heavy lifting, as it were, out of the process. With a quick and efficient machine by your side, it's like having your own personal sous-chef. OK, not really, but ... close. These Hamilton Beach food processors have powerful motors that chop, slice, shred and puree at lightning quick speed. So put that knife down. Don't spend precious time slicing and dicing when you could be tackling any other of the things on that list of yours!
Shown here: Big Mouth 14 cup Food Processor (left), available at Sears, True Value Hardware and Wal-Mart. Chef Prep 525 Watt Food Processor (right), available at Home Hardware, Personal Edge and The Bay.

So, imagine this: It's a bitterly cold Saturday morning. You're lying in bed, dreaming about a piping hot cup of coffee but the chill in the air makes it too difficult to leave your cozy cocoon. If it were a weekday, you'd stop off at Starbucks on your way into work but today, it's just too darned cold to think of heading outside. The solution is simpler than you think. With the Tassimo Hot Beverage System, you can brew a perfect cup of your favourite Starbucks coffee right at home, without stepping foot outside. The handy Tassimo discs come in four Starbucks coffee blends: Breakfast blend, House blend, Caffe Verona and Africa Kitamu. Things just got a whole lot more ... convenient.
The Tassimo Hot Beverage System is available at major department stores, mass and selected grocery stores for $199. Starting in December, Starbucks Coffee Tassimo discs are available at retailers nationally and online at tassimo.com ($9.99).
