This might be the best-ever diaper bag for dudes (or moms allergic to "cute"). Here's why: 1) it has all the usual elements of a good diaper bag (changing pad, plenty of space); 2) it has built-in places for non-baby essentials - like ipods, sunglasses, and business cards; 3) it doesn't scream "my life and sense of style ended with the birth of my child;" and 4) it's made from recycled plastic water bottles. Yep...it's that good. Available in additonal colors (and camo, of course) for $118 at Fleurville
These bright luggage tags made from recycled tyvek are sure to get a chuckle at the baggage claim. Easy to spot too! $12 for 10 at Flight 001

My sister in law sent me a link to one of these Lightwedge Book Lights. She was raving that it really makes reading without disturbing anyone very easy.

It goes under the page of your book to light up the page making it readable without a bunch of light spilling out. $29.95 to $39.95 at Vat19
