I really like these because they are safe to have around my home with my son. Now that he is mobile I really have to watch what he is doing and what he is touching. I won't have to worry about him hurting himself or getting the staples out of the stapler because there aren't any. I really want the one in green because it is so bright and happy. I highly suggest this product for anyone with children or anyone who works with children. Even if you don't, it's just a neat piece to have. And because it doesn't have staples you can travel with it to school or meetings without having to worry about having enough staples and keeping them from breaking apart before you even get a chance to use them (ugh! I hate that).

There aren't enough words to describe the feeling these give me when I see them. Not only are they a USB flash drive but they are so slim that you can also usae it as a bookmark! Hilarious. This would make a perfect gift to anyone you know who wears glasses or loves being a self-proclaimes nerd.

You get to the cash register and realize, batteries! They aren't included. Fortunately for you, they keep batteries right up front along with your favorite gum, candy bar, and bottled beverage. These are all placed perfectly to get you to buy just one more item, spend just one more dollar, and more often than not, you do! But is it fortunate that those batteries are sitting there readily available? Save the planet, one USB port at a time. How? With these rechargable AA batteries. Here are a few quick tidbits of information to help you understand how you can save the world with batteries: Every year fifteen billion batteries are produced and disposed of. Batteries lay in landfills and corrode, releasing toxic metals into the environment. These toxins, including mercury and cadmium, which are becoming prevalent in soil and water in higher quantities each year. Cadmium is toxic to aquatic life and can cause seafood to be inedible for humans. Nickel-cadmium is also released and is a human carcinogen. All of this due to a battery that you can use one time. So why buy these batteries when you can buy the rechargable batteries that plug into an outlet? They rarely ever get use. When out and about do you remember to bring the outlet charger? Probably not the first thing you think to pack and it gets lost easily. However, you probably have a netbook, a notebook, and or a pc. Flip the top back, plug them in, and in just a few minutes you have power for hours and are saving the planet! So go ahead and celebrate. Go-green without going insane!

You know, I remember seeing someone in a watch very similar to this and asking where they got it. I was so excited because it would have made a great gift for the hubby. You know what happened? They refused to tell me! How dare! As if I was ever going to see them again anyway. Besides, it's not like we'd be wearing the same prom dress. Well, if you're reading this person who didn't want to help me get my man a cool gift... "I found it! Na na na na na!"

Music inspires fashion. Fashion inspires music. If I didn't know any better, I would say that they are BFFs. The kind of BFF that Paris Hilton is searching for. Always around. Always adapting. Always imaginitive. Always fun-loving. These headphones are personal favorites and make great gifts when you just don't know what to get. They come in all shapes and sizes... all colors and patterns. But this is my fav!
