I am so getting this for my husband Brian. He is always stealing the Purell hand sanitizer out of my bag and taking it to work with him. Even after I bought him a great big thing of it for his desk. Why does he do such a silly thing? Because in his department there is a particular computer station that is shared by several employees. I don’t know what function it performs o anything like that, but I do know that they all use it at some point or another.
But, that’s not the problem, he’s not that germaphobic. There is a guy that eats while he’s using that particular station all the time and he slops greasey finger prints all over it. Then licks his hands and slobbers all over it. Sneezes all over it, coughs all over it, well you get the idea. The whole thing sort of makes me laugh a little because it seems so crazy and I get this insane visualization in my mind.
Anyhow…. about the mouse. This little gem is from Iogear and is helping to keep the germs at your shared computer station to a minimum, even if you have a slobbering finger sucking coworker!
* Nano-particle coating neutralizes 99% of all bacteria and viruses on the mouse surface
* Ergonomically contoured design for comfortable use
* Advanced laser technology provides 30x more tracking power
* Works on almost any surface, including glass
* USB ready, plug-n-play, and hot pluggable
Now how cool is that? I wonder if that is the same coating they put on certain kinds of baby toys so that they resist bacteria?? Well, I hope you don’t intend to put your mouse in your mouth any time soon, but if you had that craving and this was your mouse you’d be much less likely to get sick!
In the meantime until your germ free mouse is delivered you might want to make sure the payments on your
term life insurance are up to date.

A favorite gift from boyfriend to girlfriend, husband to wife, secret admirer to admired one. The heart necklace. You see commercials like crazy for heart necklaces near just about every holiday, Valentines, Christmas, oh… don’t forget her birthday. Why do they think girls like heart shaped jewelry anyhow? What’s the attraction there? I never really understood it (says the girl who just got a heart shaped locket….)
This heart shaped necklace is not your typical gift. Yes it’s shiny, heart shaped, and has beautiful Swarovski crystals on it, it also needs a username and password. That’s right. It’s a password protected usb drive from Swarovski & Philips. Stunning and functional, gotta love that for your gadget girl.

Blogging and podcasting are all the rage, and you totally want to look like a pro, don’t you? Well, this will look cool sitting on your desk, but it won’t do you much good come air time. It’s not really a mic, just a radio. It will get you your favorite radio station to listen to while you work though.
It’s cute retro design is going to look great on your desk, and you won’t have to worry about your batteries dying since you just plug into an open USB port on your computer. It’s lightweight and small so you can toss it in your tote bag and take it to and from work, or just leave it at home to enjoy. To add to the cute factor, when you turn the radio the LED lights up “On the Air!”
Now, other than the awe and cute retro factor this gadget doesn’t do much. Sure, it’s an AM/FM radio, and it lights up. But, it’s just as easy to tune in online to your favorite station and leave the USB port open, although that’s not nearly as cute or fun.
