Thinking about Christmas stocking stuffers yet? There are some fun new products we have recently been introduced to of which we can only say, "It's about time!"

The Purse Hooker

Ya, the name sounds wrong, but it's a great product. Think of all of the unsavory surfaces your bag touches! Latching onto any flat surface, like your cosy restaurant table for two, the purse hooker helps keep your bag in pristine condition and off the filthy floor.  The Purse Hooker retails for $15 and is available in the handbag section of The Bay stores across Canada.

The Crush proof tampon tube

I can't even tell you how many tampons have been destroyed in my bag, flying loose getting unwrapped and crushed by this and that. This tube stores your tampons and keeps them in out of the box condition until you need them.

Sneaker Balls

Someone have smelly feet in your house? Sneaker Balls are adorable little air freshener balls that fit inside your guy's stinky shoes. They come in a variety of styles and colours such as cute happy faces, golf balls or mini soccer balls. They're so darn cute he won't even be offended when you put one in every pair. They are also great for stuffing into gym bags, diaper bags, cars, lockers or wherever stench lurks.  Sneaker Balls can be found at Mark's Work Wearhouse, Sport Chek, Athletes World and Wal-Mart for $4.97 - $5.99 for a package of two.  (The Happy Feet ones pictured are available exclusively at Wal-Mart.)

WinterTrax for her

FINALLY someone recognized the dilemma the well heeled woman faces in the winter. We love to wear heels but even so called winter boots with a 2 inch stilletto can prove deadly on ice and snow. Stuffing another pair of shoes in your bag and wearing mucklucks is less than ideal. Wintertrax are like snowshoes but designed for heels! They slip over any pair of boots or shoes with heels and provide extra traction for sidewalks driveways and other slippery surfaces. One size fits most (women's sizes 6-12). They are avaialable at Wal-Mart, Zellers, London Drugs, Pharmasave, Shoppers, Home Health Care stores and other retaulers for $19.99

My Tagalongs Emergency Valet

These cute little emergency packs should be in your suitcase when you hit up sunny 'Mehico' this winter. Everything you wish you'd remembered to bring is in one of these. The 911 Tin contains a sewing kit, double sided clothing tape, tweezers, a nail file, hair elastic (the good kind), band-aids, individually wrapped flossers and some extra space for personalized items. A cute eco-chic tote is also included as well as sticky notes to go and the tampon tube. The Emergency Valet is available in the Handbag section of The Bay stores across Canada for $30 or you can purchase the contents individually.
