GE 98974 VoIP Universal All-in-One Stereo Headset - $20 - Excellent and inexpensive headset that is great for many uses; I actually own them. You can use these for VOIP calls (Google Voice, Skype, etc.), your cell phone, internet chat, gaming, and so much more. The three separate connections (3.5mm, 2.5mm, two-3.5mm) allow you to connect to anything. Available in Target stores, and online at Amazon and Staples.

Nest - $249.00 - A learning thermostat made using the same groundbreaking thinking that revolutionized the cellphone industry. Good looks, functional, and controllable when away from the home. Purchase directly from Nest. This will certainly save some money this winter with the automatic energy saving settings.

  2. about number one--the headphones. get a headset/microphone with a usb connection so you can leave your computer speakers plugged in. i paid $35 for a logitech set and i am not doing a testimonial for them even though they work great.
