The Mini Sky Umbrella ($35) is the first umbrella I've ever seen that is fully automatic. At the push of a button, the umbrella automatically opens or closes by itself. It's great when you are carrying stuff in one hand and the umbrella in the other and you need to enter a building, just puch the button, Voila! Closed. Also, when the skies turn dark and threatening and the rain begins to pour, first push the button to auto-open the umbrella and then look up under the canopy. It has a printed beautiful sunny day pattern with blue skies and hint of puffy white clouds to look at instead of the misery around you. This is definitely one cool umbrella.

• 38" span when opened
