WALK THIS WAY: We’ve all heard that walking is pretty much the ideal form of exercise, but leave it to Reebok to take it to the next level. Reebok EasyTones, with “balance pods” beneath the heel and forefoot, tone and tighten by encouraging key muscle groups to engage with each step. Choose the lightweight Inspire ($99.98) for workouts or the EasyTone Flip Flop ($59.98) for just running around. View the full collection online, as well as customized exercises and videos (including EasyTone’s shout-out on Oprah).

GOOD HAIR DAY: All the coolest hair appliances are wearing prints this season! Okay, we made that up, but we have to admit these Remington printed dryers and flat irons from Target are pretty freakin’ cute. In teal leopard, pink dots or hippie-chick floral, they’re all $19.99 online or at your nearest Target. We’re thinking they’d make a great gift or pick-me-up for yourself – no bad day ever started with pink polka dots.

GIFTED PROGRAM: Speaking of animal instincts, Cole Haan’s Marabelle Python-Printed Wallet is just one of the well-priced picks from Neiman Marcus’ 90 for 09 gift collection. In solid black or natural with that signature logo detail, it’s just $98 and eligible for free gift wrap when you order online. Plus, plenty of other present options priced less than $100 are waiting to be explored.
