Who the Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug 2 is for

Buy it if: Anyone who drinks slowly at one desk with the coaster permanently plugged in.

Avoid it if: Anyone wanting a travel mug -- 80 minutes unplugged is not that.

Who the Ghost-Grid Magnetic Dry Erase Whiteboard 36x24 is for

Buy it if: Anyone wanting a magnetic board that will last years rather than months.

Avoid it if: Anyone leaving writing up for weeks at a time -- that ghosts any painted surface.
