The Swiss Hot Steam Humidifier aims to improve your ambient air moisture while looking good doing it.

This compact humidifier boils water to eliminate waterborne bacteria and viruses before emitting hot steam that improves ambient air moisture. The unit stores unobtrusively on a nightstand or bookshelf and produces steam in as little as three minutes. You can adjust the output from one to two gallons per day and adjust the power consumption from 150- to 300-watts at the touch of a button. An LED illuminates when the humidifier requires additional water and the reservoir removes for ease of filling under a faucet.

You can pick up this comforting gadget (choose from silver or red colors) for $99.95 from Hammacher.
