We sometimes feel the need to have more personalized stuff around us. We like to name our dearest objects and sometimes we talk to them, we no one is around, so we can look normal. Riiight. :)) So some guys made a… quite naked cell phone holder. Her name is Madeleine. Madeleine the Mermaid. But you can call her Madeleine the Mermaid Mp3 or Cell Phone Holder. Apparently she’s very good at holding cell phones and MP3 players. She’s quiet and she doesn’t like bras. I guess she makes for a great office companion.

Time. The measure of life. An element we often forget about. If you just so happen to need a constant reminder, this laser pointer, clock, ballpoint pen can do it all for you. During business presentations it can be priceless! By just pressing a button you can project the time on a wall and you can adjust the focus lens in order to project time or just a dot. Very James Bondish. It can be your secret weapon and you can be a presentation ninja. :wink wink:

I dream of the day when we won’t need to use any paper at all, not because I don’t think it’s kind of romantic to write on actual paper, but because it’s mostly a waster, especially ever since computers have taken over our lives. One gadget I want to buy is the Scratch-n-Scroll Mousepad. It just brings me closer to my dream.

It has a smooth scrolling surface, which you can write on and erase with any optical/ball-based computer mouse. So you’ll need no more notepads or post-its. Long live the few forests we have left!

Today is more about butts and toilets than I’d like to admit. :)) They seem to come from all over and head straight towards me. If your desk is not fun enough, you should get The Butt Station.

Here’s an office accessory that will wow your colleagues and your bosses. You’ll have a, what the producers call, “sculpted person” to hold you pen or pencil, a tape dispenser and cutter and a paper clip magnet placed inside the toilet, so you can safely hold on to you little metal thingies on your desk.

Who said doing business can’t be fun?

3D technology is the talk of the year. Everything is in 3D: movies, TV sets, games, augmented reality. In our attempt to feel more, to live more and to experiment more, it seems that we can never be satisfied. I admit I’m a big fan of the whole IMAX technology, so I’m not bashing the concept.

If you can’t afford a 3D TV, you can buy a 3D Drawing Pad that will quench your thirst for magic thrills. Draw on it with a black pen and your doodles will pop out when you’ll look at them through the 3D glasses. I don’t know about you, but your kid will love this!

Friday is Top 10 day. So if you’re working late (like I am) and spend most of the day in your office (which we all do), you need to improve your work environment so that it gives you all the comfort and relaxation you need in order to be efficient and creative. Here’s a fine selection of gizmos, gadgets and other things that can make our office a place we love to be in.

1. Decorative Sticky Tape – not your usual cute, cuddly, colorful decorative scotch tape, but certainly pretty and quite fancy I might add. It’ll add a personal touch to your envelopes, gifts and other wrap needing stuff.

3. Wave of Light Dolphin - there’s nothing like having a soothing, relaxing object on your desk so that you can turn your eyes to it whenever they feel sore or when you feel like your head is about to pop. This little lamp combines lights, sound and movement and they say it can kind of hypnotize you. It even moves like the ocean’s waves. Do you love it or do you love it?

4. Suck UK Door stop - I hate people who slam the door open or closed when they come into or leave a room. The sound is annoying and it can scare you if you’re really focused on something. So I have a solution for you! These door stoppers will not only stop doors, but maybe also prevent anyone from entering, since they are pretty cool and exclamatory.

5. Ceramic Swear Bank - we all hate meetings and most of us come out swearing. So this got me thinking and I came up with an idea to get you rich: you can make you office a swear are and cash in for every curse word that your colleagues utter.

7. Explosion Notepads – if you’re trying to make a statement and your coworkers just won’t get it, because punctuation is not particularly relevant to them, try these instead. If it still doesn’t work, try shouting. :))

8. Another possibly annoying thing about your colleagues (and maybe even about your boss) is that they always ask to borrow a pen and they always forget to return it. It’s like an unwritten rule of the office. The worst part is that they usually take away your favorite pen. Although we don’t use them much these days, we can’t say we still don’t get a bit attached to our office stuff. In my case, it’s a thing I have inherited from grad school. Well, no worries, use a Bank Pen and you’re safe. They’ll never steal your favorite pen again.

9. Monkey Picked Tea – looking for a relaxing and energizing drink? How about a cup of tea made out of leaves picked directly by the gentle hands of… monkeys? Yes, you read correctly. Here’s a little something about the product: “Legend has it that Buddhist monks trained monkeys to harvest the leaves from the top of wild tea trees.” I wonder why I haven’t seen this on Discovery yet. How Zen is that? :)

Mousepads. They come in all shapes and sizes, colors and textures. But how about a Fierce Teflon & Steel Mouse Surface? Since multiuse is one of the best thing we like about gadgets, why not make a mousepad you can cook burgers on? When you’re done with frying them, you can serve them while they’re hot, right next to your mouse. Cool? Definitely! And I love the name!

Oh yes, we’ve all been waiting for it and it’s here! The Like stamp! Now you can stamp every folder, file and document and express your opinion with one easy push.

I’d go even to other lengths and start stamping objects like the fridge and desks and stuff. Do you remember the Dexter episode in which Dee Dee and Dexter have each a label dispenser with their names on it and start tagging everyhting in the house? Well, I’d go loco with this.
