Animal 1-Gallon Humidifier

 Images P B000937Dgw.16. Sclzzzzzzz Ss260 After reading this piece by Getting Started in Electronics author Forest M. Mims III on how dry air on airplanes is a big reason why people catch colds, I bought humidfiers for the house. I got my two daughters these adorable animals humidifiers. My girls love the way the fog comes out of the elephant's trunk.

The air in our house gets really dry in the winter and the girls have been coughing off and on for months. They've stopped coughing since I've put these in their rooms. Coincidence? I think not. $29.99 on Amazon

Careful. Many are the asthma/allergy sufferers whose parents bought hudifiers to help them breathe, only to discover the subsequent mold outbreaks made things much worse. I'd recommend getting a relative humidity meter.

I am 27 years old and was compelled by sheer cuteness to buy the frog shaped one. They are on sale at the moment at Aldi for $20.

The frog one is way better looking than the elephant one. We got ours at target for ~$20
