PRODUCT REVIEW: Braun BodycruZer men's body and face groomer; available at Bed, Bath & Beyond, Best Buy, Kohl's and Target, online at drugstore.com and amazon.com, about 60.
The pitch: The new bodycruZer from Braun is the world's only body groomer with a Braun precision trimmer and a Gillette Fusion blade to trim and shave from chest to toe - efficiently, cleanly and smoothly - even under the shower.
The skinny: These days, men are expected to be as soft and smooth as the ladies. They want a shaver that can tackle it all, from a scruffy beard to a hairy chest to the most sensitive areas. This shaver does it all. It has three hair attachments - close, closer, closest - that allow the man in your life to shave safely and comfortably. Charging takes about an hour and can be done by attaching a power lead to the shaver itself or by putting it on a little charging dock. You can get about an hour shaving time before it stops. And the design is sleek, compact and travels well. So whether you've got some serious body hair to mow, or you just want to keep things trimmed, this shaver has you covered.
PRODUCT REVIEW: Nectar Accessories work tote; available at nectaraccessories.com; $159.99
The pitch: Function meets high fashion in this Signature Work Tote with a cell phone window so you can view caller ID and texts; works with iPhones, Blackberrys, iPods and flip phones.
The skinny: It can be a hassle digging through your bag trying to find your cell phone. This Nectar tote bag solves the problem. It's designed with a special see-through compartment at the front of the bag, so you never lose sight of your cell phone - and neither does anyone else. For me, that's not such a good idea, because I own one ugly cell phone. But high-tech hotties will love the attention. The bag also has a slew of compartments inside to hold your wallet, business cards, camera, keys, sunglasses and lip gloss. There's also a cell phone wallet and clutch. The tote bag is available in faux fur zebra and black.
