It may be the Intellishredder, but you don’t need a Ph.D to use it.

When you’re not looking for an under the desk shredder, but rather a traditional one that feeds through the top, there are endless options.  If you’re interested in over-spending, there are even more options.  The Fellows INTELLISHRED™ SB-89Ci SHREDDER eliminates all those options with one feature packed, modestly priced, smart shredder.  You might wonder what makes this shredder so intelligent.  Well, it won’t finish your kids homework (although it will eat it), but it does know when you attempt to stuff too many papers in it’s mouth, and it will figure out what to do on it’s own when there’s a paper jam.  Oh, and when your fingers get too close, it shuts off.  Not only is this thing smart, it’s stylish and easy to control…too bad Fellows doesn’t make husbands!

Are you constantly shredding? 

With all the identity theft these days, you better be shredding your garbage bound (I mean, recycle bound) documents. 

We all get overzealous and push the limits of our shredders, stuffing way too much into them at once.  Perhaps more frustrating than a paper jam is being hunched over like Quasimodo trying to feed paper through the top of a half obstructed shredder that wasn’t built to hide under your desk.  Staples has changed all that.  With the ID Armor 18-Sheet Cross Cut Under Desk Shredder you don’t have to worry about paper jams or the bells of Notre Dame because the teeth on this thing will crunch credit cards, staples, or CD’s with a uniquely angled slot that allows easy access from your office chair.  What’s more is that the unit comes equipped with a hidden storage panel on top and a full power strip along the back!

I love this thing!
Store your pencil in the hollowed out section of the notebook and you don’t have to worry about popping the binding open when you travel with a pen jammed in-between the pages. 
This really is more convenient than it seems; the people at Suck UK really know how to make some great products.

You can also use the hollowed out section to store a tiny rock hammer, incase you find yourself wrongfully locked away at Shawshank. 

Comes in two sizes; 190×140mm & 125×90mm.  Approx. 7.5 x 5.5 inches & 5 x 3.5 inches. 

I don’t know about you, but I’m getting sick of Prada and Coach dominating the handbag industry.  Come on ladies, spread it out a bit.  There are exceptional products that will turn heads without making you look like a clone; the Moonsus Urban Laptop Tote ($330) or the Professional Briefcase ($320) for instance. 
The Moonsus collection of executive handbags finds the median between feminine and business function.  The Urban Laptop Tote comes with a cosmetic case and internal specialized pouches for business cards, a cell phone, appointment book, pens, etc; while the Professional Briefcase comes equipped with a stylish and removable padded notebook sleeve in addition to the internal pockets.

Ergotron might sound like a transforming robot from Cybertron, but it’s actually much more useful.  With the Ergotron Notebook Arm from Lenovo, you can effortlessly lift a notebook, computer monitor, or flat panel TV to a better viewing position while freeing up valuable space on your desk.

The sleek and streamlined LX is extremely easy to install, and allows one hand adjustments of your computer monitor, notebook or TV; move the screen and it stays with no locks or knobs.  Swing the screen to show a client what you’re looking at, position your laptop for use in bed, or rotate your monitor lengthwise to capture more scrolling space.  Not only does the Ergotron LX provide unparalleled range of motion, it makes your workstation look sophisticated and professional.  You can also use two arms on the same stand to optimize function and space.

I can’t believe it’s not butter!

What better way to remind yourself that you skipped breakfast than a big appetizing notepad sitting in front of your face all day. Toast Notes by those clever chaps at Fred & Friends consists of a small post-it pad atop a squishy life like piece of toast.  It’s hard not to smile every time you jot a note on this set-up; so have fun with your post-its and individualize your desktop. Aside from the hunger cramps induced by seeing food 24/7, you’ll never regret a little extra flare in your stationery.

Finally, a pet you don’t have to feed, clean-up after, or take to the vet!  Dozi’s only requirement is that you always have a fresh supply of paperclips. 
In his natural environment, Dozi is actually bald, and though the paperclips aren’t fooling anybody, Dozi will get quite self conscious without them.  Depending on your decor, you might prefer Mrs. Dozi in Pink, just be prepared for an earful if you use up all her paperclips. 

Korean designer Mika Kim adds another novel character to Alessi’s playful line of home and office products.  The porcupine-like creature is fashioned from smooth PMMA plastic and holds paperclips magnetically to its body.  Choose from a variety of colors.

Can also be used for other metal objects such as sewing needles or liquid mercury.

I assure you that this puerile laptop case will make an impression at your next office meeting.  I’ve even heard that Bush’s cabinet members use these during briefings because the big eyes and bright colors hold the presidents attention longer. 

If you think Sesame Street-like characters could be distracting in the workplace, then you should consider the camouflage factor.  That’s right, the Monster Laptop Sleeve will not only eat your expensive laptop, it will tort criminals looking to steal high end items, they’ll just dismiss it as a child’s pillowcase or something of the like. 

*If you’re not a fan of the cookie monster blue, this handmade novelty comes in three other colors.

Meet Spike.  He’s the gleaming example for survival of the fittest.  Over the ages he has warded predators and pen thieves alike by mimicking the appearance of the painful cactus plant when in fact, Spike is extremely soft and comfortable to the touch. 

For those of you that don’t believe in facts:  After Eve so viscously committed the most heinous crime of eating an apple, God smitten all the other creatures of the earth by creating the food chain, but he so graciously built in some natural defenses, such as prickers; and so it came to be… the Spike Pen.  

If you don’t believe either of those, then Spike was created by Fred and Friends for people that want a little green on their desk.
