A humidifier may seem like something you don't necessarily need. But in the dry, heated indoors of winter, you'd be surprised the affect the tiny machine has on daily life. Better over-all health. Skin that doesn't feel like sandpaper. Less static cling. And the slight moisture keeps your walls from cracking, too. Vornado humidifier, $100

FYI
