Take Rover along for the ride with this special car seat. It lets your pampered pet sit 10 inches higher, so he can more comfortably look out the window while you drive. The thick foam seat has a faux fleece lining that can be removed for washing. It costs $64.95 from the Plow and Hearth catalog (800-627-1712) and online at www.plowhearth.com.
Happily on the rocks
Toss a handful of reusable ice cubes into your hotel fridge or your host's freezer and you'll be able to cool your drink no matter how questionable the water is where you're staying. Just wash and refreeze these little plastic pouches after each use. Fifty of them cost about $4 at Kitchen Etc. stores and online at www.kitchenetc.com.
Clothes quarters
