A collapsible chair comes in handy when you're camping, watching the game, or tailgating. This one comes in blue or red, has a high back and a cup-holder arm, and comes with its own carry-bag. And the price is right; it costs $9.99 at Linens 'n Things in the Boston area. You can also order it by calling 866-568-7378 or online at www.lnt.com.
Get the knots out
Soothe muscles that are sore from all the walking, climbing, sightseeing, and sitting you do on vacation. Procter & Gamble's ThermaCare is a thin, disposable heat wrap that can help to coax the aches and pains out of your arms, back, and legs. When exposed to air, the wrap heats to 104 degrees within 30 minutes. Packages of two (for backs) or three (for necks and arms) cost about $7.50. You can find them at many drugstores, including CVS and Walgreens; they're also available online at www.cvs.com, www.walgreens.com, and www.drugstore.com.
Fly quietly
These foldable noise-reduction headphones can help make your next flight a more relaxing one. Plug them into your portable CD player, computer, or the airline music console; they cancel out annoying background noises, including engine rumblings, so you can listen to what you want, when you want. They costs $99 at Brookstone stores, through the catalog (800-351-7222), or online at www.brookstone.com.
