Mobile Beauty Cell Phone Mirrors by Ami Kealoha
At the risk of getting flak for yet another skull-related item, these little stick-on mirrors are a ingenious example of a device that's as elegant as it is useful. Plus, there's the inherent irony of a skull- or heart-shaped reflection. (Other options like lightning bolts, four-leaf clovers, and stars, have all had their day as trends too, but aren't quite as subtly clever.)
$12 from Mobile Beauty and $1 from every purchase goes to the Step Up Women's Network.
