Mpowerd Luci EMRG Inflatable Solar Lantern

What's to love: Great compact design. Easy to throw in a glove box or backpack.

What does it do: You blow up the light, just like a beach ball, to use as a lantern. It is waterproof and shatterproof. The solar-powered light has two solar panels and four LED lights with four settings: bright, super bright, flashing and flashing red. After a full eight-hour charge, the lantern will stay lighted for seven hours on the maximum setting. While stored, it will retain up to 95 percent of its charge for a month. The lantern sells for $14.99.

Yonanas

What's to love: What's not to love? It makes an easy healthful, creamy frozen dessert!

What does it do: The Yonana machine takes frozen bananas or other frozen fruits and turns them into the consistency of soft-serve ice cream. The machine is easy to use. Turn it on. Put frozen bananas in the chute and push down with the plunger. Out comes the dessert. To clean, remove the chute assembly and plunger and wash with soapy water or run through the dishwasher. Yonanas sells for $49.99.
