1. D-Link® HD Pan & Tilt WiFi Camera

2. Wraps Wristband Headphones

3. GRILLIGHT™ Grilling Utensils

Keeping an eye on your home when you are away is
simple when you hook up a webcam. The new HD
Pan & Tilt WiFi Camera from D-Link acts as your eye
and a security blanket with its robust features.

I love when function and fashion come together.
Mission accomplished with Wraps Wristband
Headphones. They not only offer high-quality sound
but you can wrap them around your wrist for a colorful fashion statement.

For those who like to grill at night, here are some
must-have items to make sure the burgers are
flipped and not burned. The GRILLIGHT spatula
and tongs ingeniously have an LED flashlight
built into the handles so you can better see what
you’re cooking.

The small device can be placed anywhere in your
home within reach of an electrical outlet. It quickly
connects to your WiFi signal, and the action in the
room can be viewed in high-def via an app on your
phone. You can control the pan and tilt motions of the
camera to see more of the room.
The night vision monitors things in the dark, and it has
great sensitivity that can alert you of sound and
motion in the room. $140 us.dlink.com

No more lost headphones or tangled wires since
they quickly wrap around any size wrist. Choose
from leather, wood or anti-tangle fabric that is thick
enough to make them look like a fashionable wristband. $22 and up www.mywraps.com

The stainless steel utensils are dishwasher safe,
and the waterproof flashlight has a 20,000-hour
bulb life. The spatula is big enough for a Texassized patty while the tongs have a secure grip for
cooking and serving. $40 www.grillight.com
