Furniture and camera

For some brand new furniture, consider the new range at Courts, which includes a very classy Calum dining table ($999). And for good snaps of the family, consider buying the Canon Powerful TX1, which is now priced $649, down from $799.

Fan

A new fan may just be the thing for a refreshing start to the new year. The KDK Japanese fan, known for its reliability, performance and whisper-quiet operation, is also very gentle while effectively cooling the room. The latest model comes with an anti-allergen air filter. It sells for $125 and is available at Best Denki and Courts.
