A desk fan
Just as you can’t control the heart of another, you can’t control the thermostat at the office. Some days you’ll sit down and feel it must be approaching arctic temperatures, other days it will be a sauna. For the latter, you can pick a small fan like this one to help get you through the day. It also works great on a bedside stand.
Honeywell Air Circulator Fan, $13.94.
A heavy duty fan
If you’re looking to cool down the whole living room, it’s important to get the air moving. A small breeze can do wonders in making a living room, well, livable. This fan from Lasko is easy to move and comes with three speed settings to help keep your home habitable.
Lasko 20-Inch High Velocity Floor/Wall Fan, $65.
A movable air conditioner
Although it’s a bit expensive, if you don't have central air and can swing it, a small stand alone air conditioning unit like this one is probably the easiest way to keep your room chilly.
Honeywell 10,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner, $349.
