You'd think, after browsing through the September issue of Lucky magazine, that a good fall tote bag costs at least several hundred dollars. Nonsense. You can get this patent "Palazzo" tote bag from Crate and Barrel for $34.95. The bag is right on trend for fall (patent! purple! contrast! boldness!), has magnetic closure with an interior pocket, can be cleaned with a damp cloth, and comes in several color combinations. So you can get one for toting groceries and one for your gym gear.

As seen in the September issue of Better Homes and Gardens: Photo wall clocks from Target. Instead of numbers, there are circles where you can insert your own photos. A perfect gift for grandmothers or people with large families. Plus it's probably fun to say things like "It's Mike after Mark." Preorder now for delivery in a few weeks.

The worst thing about cooking is cleaning the pots and pans afterwards. Not anymore (at least, not if you have a dishwasher), because Calphalon's new Infinite Circulon collection of hard-anodized, non-stick pots, pans, and skillets is completely dishwasher-safe! Plus the bottoms are made from stainless steel and aluminum (safe for glass and induction cooktops) and the stainless steel handles are oven-safe to 500 degrees. But if $300 for the 10-piece set is a little out of your price range, the good news is you can buy individual items separately. See all Calphalon cookware.

Coming soon from Sony: The 10-megapixel Cyber-shot T700, an ultracompact camera with a huge 3.5" touch-screen, 4x optical zoom, and 4GB of internal memory, so you don't have to worry about filling up (or losing) memory cards, although there is also a slot for an additional memory card, should you want to use one. The camera not only recognizes smiles, it also recognizes blinking - if someone blinks while you're taking a picture, the camera automatically takes a second one. The T700 will be available in silver, red, pink, gray, and gold.
