Livingstones rock cushions
Hmm. Unless you want Child Protective Services knocking on your door, don't hang a picture of your kids sleeping on these Livingstones floor cushions in your office. Few will believe that these realistic-looking stones are actually made of 100% virgin wool and are filled with hypoallergenic polysilicone fiber.
They come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors and are available directly from smarindesign, where you can also obtain a price list. If you can keep CPS at bay until then, the Livingstones should be delivered within about four weeks of placing your order.

Beauty Water Shower Purification System
I’m clumsy as hell, generally disorganized, and socially awkward, but I have awesome hair - strawberry blond to red, easy-to-cut, body and bounce all the time. My stylists have always loved playing and experimenting with it. A favorite product line of mine is produced by Jonathan Antin Product (you might remember Jonathan Antin - stylist to the stars - seen on Bravo’s show Blow Out).
In addition to the wonderful shampoos, conditioners, oil sprays, and finishing products, comes the Beauty Water Shower Purification System. With all his years of experience, Jonathan took to experimenting with pure, filtered spring water when working with brittle, damaged hair and dry skin, and has a portfolio packed with a-listing results.
Apparently, Johnathan understands the budgets of normal people, and while we can’t afford pure, filtered spring water, a small investment in his Beauty Water Shower System, provides you with pH balanced water free of chlorine, heavy metals, and harmful VOCs. As promised (I can attest to this), you’ll towel off, dry out, and reveal more softness, shine, and manageability, significantly increasing and maintaining the overall health and color of your hair.

Toasted Notes Post-It dispenser
Assuming all you've got in your office are yellow Post-It notes, this toast-shaped dispenser is an absolute must-have for your desk. It isn't clear what size of sticky notes fit into the cleverly named Toasted Notes accessory, but does it really matter?
The dispenser normally sells for $7.50 but is currently listed as being "temporarily out of the stock." Oh well. I only have green and pink Post-Its in my drawer, anyway.

Belkin’s N1 Vision Wireless Router
Belkin’s N1 Vision Wireless Router makes going wireless so simple that my mom will be able to feel like she’s on her way to a job at the Genius Bar.
You’ll set NI Vision up without having to follow a manual or insert a CD and obey its “Wizard.” Instead, after plugging it into a power source, its on-screen commands (via an clear and readable LCD display) will help you get connected in no time.
Slim design and set with the latest in Wi-Fi standards--802.11n 3x3 MIMO technology that provides a link rate of up to 300 Mbps, and an unprecedented range of up to 1,600 feet. If you don’t lock your network down, your neighbors will have another reason to love you even more than they already do.

Adesso Albums - Instant photo guest books
According to the founder, Lesley Mattos, of Adesso Albums, the idea for the company "was hatched at a wedding in Italy when the bride asked me to take Polaroid pictures of guests and scotch tape them into a scrapbook where they’d write a note. I realized there must be an easier way to save these memories." Voila, instant photo guest books were born.
Guests can leave sappy, sentimental notes with a photo of themselves in the specially designed
slots. It creates a unique keepsake and a great gift idea for a wedding, baby shower, anniversarry, Bat Mitvah, you name it.
Originally designed to work with Polaroid cameras (you can still buy a starter kit with a Polaroid camera and album for $139), now their big sellers are the digital camera books. (Soon they will be offering the brand-new Zink process, the new printing technology that does not require ink cartridges to produce photos.)
Adesso has albums for all occasions, and for a few extra bucks you can have the leather books personalized with embossing. Check their site for pricing.
The one drawback - ah, you saw it too - is that someone has to encourage folks to take photos at the sign-in. I figure a well-placed sign would do the trick, or failing that, someone stationed at the guest sign-in, armed with a camera and plenty of alcohol.
I already bought one for a Bat Mitvah we're attending in March. Not for the lovely Bat (Alexandra), but for the parents. They're gonna love me for it.

Virtual Flower Pot - Valentine's Day Gift
If you're reading this on February 13th, a virtual gift is just about all you've got time for. Google Gadgets has this great, red tulip that grows on your dektop when you "water" it and unlike real flowers, lasts forever, or at least until you break up.
It's only a 161KB file; just make sure he/she has Google Desktop 4 or above. Or, if you're on Facebook, you can send all sorts of virtual flowers to your sweetie.

Porcelain cup asserts that it is not made of paper
I try not to generalize about the members of groups I'm not in, but I can't help but think that cups are a pretty insecure lot. Why else would they continue to pursue their efforts to deceive us? I turned a blind eye when they tried to pass off the coffee mug as a chalkboard, but I refuse to let the group try to pull the wool over our eyes again with this porcelain cup designed to look like a disposable paper one.
As if the "I am not a paper cup" declaration printed on the box of the 6-inch cup would fool anyone!
When the cups become available in late February, I'm going to contact Decor Craft with a $20 bill in hand and expose the plastic look-alike lid that sits atop the double-walled porcelain vessel for what is: silicone.
Come on, cups. You're good enough, you're smart enough, and gosh darn it, people like you!
