Wake up to your own tunes.

Stow dirty laundry in this pop-up hamper, then grab the handles and take it to the laundry room. The mesh design allows for air circulation so it won't smell like you're storing roadkill in your closet.

Is the dorm room starting to smell like teen spirit? Blow those odors away with this three-speed fan. About 11-by-11 inches, it can live on your desk or be mounted on the wall.

This shelf system does it all, and it does it on wheels. It has two shelves that are large enough for clothes; six shoe-size pockets; eight mesh pockets; a file pocket for documents; and four pockets for school supplies. But wait, there's more! You also get a removable laundry hamper. Put your iPod on the hard top and then squeeze this thin, 14-inch-wide organizer into a small nook.

This is one-stop software for all your digital-media needs. Use it to make multimedia projects that combine photos, video and music. It offers step-by-step video tutorials and is compatible with Windows XP and Vista.

It's amazing how a little hot water can make a yummy meal or a satisfying drink. Coffee and tea, of course, plus soup, oatmeal, and anything freeze-dried. Bring on the cold!
