Tech writer Jordan McMahon has tried several mobile standing desks and a few portable keyboards to make working at a coffee shop resemble his home-office setup. But nothing has felt as useful or elegant a solution as the Logitech Casa. About the size of a coffee-table book, the Casa comes with a wireless keyboard and track pad that stow inside the case. The case itself can be flipped to turn into a portable laptop stand. “I hate hunching over my screen, so the Casa’s lift is a welcome adjustment that makes even a cramped bistro table feel like an adequate desk for getting through an hour or two of writing,” says McMahon.

In celebrity shopping news, red Wiggle Simon Pryce told us about the orange ceramic water bottle that’s always by his side. And actress Gina Gershon doesn’t leave home without L’Oeil du Vert fragrance oils, which she applies variably, depending on her mood.

And for those looking to save, Dermstore’s Anniversary Sale is still going strong, and Ban.do is having a very good warehouse sale.
