The holiday season isn't just for remembering friends and family; it's also a chance to thank those who provide regular services. Maybe you've got an especially attentive postal carrier who makes sure your packages arrive safely at your doorstep, a hairdresser who always makes you look like a million bucks, a doorman who welcomes you home with a smile, or a trusted caregiver who makes your aging parent feel comfortable. For all of these people and more, we consulted several trustworthy sources to compile some tips for holiday tipping.

Computer keyboards get no love.

We bang on them day in, day out. We paw them with grubby hands, eat and drink over them like they were place mats, and try not to think about how dirty they get. Maybe, if we're neat freaks, we'll clean them. But keyboards never seem to get really, truly clean -- too many nooks, crannies and crevices -- and much as we may want to, we can't (well, shouldn't) put them in the dishwasher or dunk them in the sink to give them a good scrubbing.

A few weeks ago, we asked Logitech to send us one of their new K310 Washable Keyboard (*Est. $40). Logitech touts this peripheral as "the keyboard that loves a wash." But does the Logitech K310 keyboard really work? We decided to put one to the test and recorded the results on video, which you can watch here or on our YouTube channel. We'll have a full review of the Logitech K310 when we update our report on computer keyboards in the coming months, but in the meantime, watch and enjoy! Read more

Experts say a good SPF sunscreen should protect users from both UVA and UVB rays. The best formulas should contain broad-spectrum chemical or physical sunscreens or a combination of the two. All five our Best Reviewed sunscreens meet this standard.

But like a lot of personal-care products, choosing the best sunscreen comes down to a matter of personal preference. Important factors to consider include how easy it is to apply, how it smells and feels on your skin, and what the ingredients are. We asked some of our co-workers to sample three of our Best Reviewed sunscreens -- Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock, Badger Lightly Scented Sunscreen and Blue Lizard Sunscreen Sensitive -- and give us their feedback.

You can see the results on our YouTube channel or in the video embedded below. Read more
