Soda that’s better for your teeth and body.
Zevia All Natural Soda contains no teeth-damaging sugar or artificial sweeteners. (There are no artificial colors either.) Instead, this zero-calorie drink is sweetened with stevia, which is made from a leaf. It contains only natural ingredients -- and tastes like it.
Cost: $5.99 per six-pack at grocery stores; $27 for 24 cans at Amazon.com

USB Stealth Switch
Don’t get caught playing Angry Birds.
We know you work hard. But if you just have to take a stress-relief break with a computer game or Facebook, try the USB Stealth Switch. Slip it under your desk, and a tap with your foot instantly switches your screen from Solitaire to that spreadsheet you were supposed to be working on. The boss won’t know -- and we’ll never tell.
Cost: $26.99 at Amazon.com
Cyber Clean
Clean up your act.
Or at least your computer. Press this silly putty–like gel onto your keyboard and other gadgets (just not onto their screens) and watch it pick up all the dirt, crumbs and gunk that seemed like they were trapped there forever. Amazing!
Cost: $8.99 at ThinkGeek
Vicks Humidifier
Breathe easier.
Keeping nasal passages moist helps ward off colds and the flu. But most humidifiers are a hassle to keep clean. But not the Vicks Germ-Free Cool Moisture Humidifier: It uses UV lights to prevent the growth of bacteria, fungi and mold. It runs 24 hours on one tank of water (quietly, so it won’t disturb your sleep). It also keeps your skin hydrated during the dry winter months.
Cost: $70 at Walgreens.com
