CapaBubbles

What’s to love: A reusable way to cap a bottle of champagne or sparkling wine without losing the bubbles.

What does it do: The two-piece cap made of plastic and silicone is like an attachable screw top. The bottom piece snaps around the top of the bottle under the flange. The food-grade silicone top screws into the bottom piece. The champagne will stay fresh for a week, according to the company, CapaBunga. The cap sells for $15.95 and comes in an array of colors.

Mr Beams Wireless Motion Sensor LED Spotlight

Mr Beams Wireless Motion Sensor LED Spotlight

What’s to love: Remote control and ease of installation.

What does it do: Although the LED light, made by Mr. Beams, has a motion sensor, there may be times that it’s necessary to use a remote to switch on the light. Hear a strange sound? Hit the remote. Want to light up the patio for a couple hours? Hit the remote. The light can be customized for a variety of lighting situations. Use the remote to control the three brightness settings or auto shut-off setting or to disable the motion sensor. No wiring is necessary when installing the light, as it runs on batteries. It sells for $39.99.
