OXO Good Grips Dust Pan & Brush Set, $10
Problem: The dirt's in a pile. Now what?
Solution: Though smaller (at nine inches) than some dustpans, the OXO is up to any indoor task. The brush's firm yet flexible bristles meet the pan's sharp lip to gather up that final streak of dust. And its big, rounded rubberlike handle sits comfortably in your palm. The pan sits flat (not angled) when you sweep, so debris doesn't slide back onto the floor; the high back keeps it from escaping onto your hand.
