Like most "overnight sensations," Vonda Shepard had been slogging away for quite a spell--more than a decade's worth of touring, and three previous albums, to be precise--before getting to grab the brass ring via the hit TV show Ally McBeal. This disc reprises most of the cover songs Shepard performed during the series' first year, from the ubiquitous "Hooked on a Feeling" to a lovely reading of the '60s nugget "Walk Away Renee." But to Shepard's credit, the smattering of originals don't suffer too much in comparison: in fact, her "Searchin' My Soul" is one of the album's strongest moments. --David SpraguePrice: $21.98

No more digging around in deep toiletries bags for that pair of tweezers or spare safety pin you know is in there somewhere. Made of clear vinyl for quick viewing, the ten compartments on this unique organizer keep everything from dental floss to shaving cream readily retrievable. Organized in four zippered rows, the compartments vary in size and keep contents secure. When empty, the bag folds to a flat 10 by 14 inches. When filled, it can be laid inside a suitcase. The hook allows the bag to be hung inside a garment bag if desired, and then looped over a bathroom door or towel hook for accessibility. Made of PVC microfiber, the bag extends to 28 by 14 inches when fully opened. --Ann Bieri
