Oriental Rug Mousepad- do you have a rug addiction?

craig — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 16:00:00 +0000

These things are flying off the shelves!

From the Red Persian Group of Oriental MouseRugs (Asian Collection) comes a new addition to your addiction. Specifically made for your computer mouse, this miniature rug features .75 millimeter long fibers (over 7 million on each rug) that create a beautiful and intricate pattern that’s soft to the touch. These things aren’t stamped with ink, they’re made with real dyed yarn. The tiny fibers allow for precise tracking (whether your mouse is optical or ball), and will actually hold your mouse in place on uneven surfaces.

Dude, that rug really ties the room together.

* These may only be 7"x10", but they’re gateway RUGS! Before you know it they’ll by lying on the living room floor or under the table, you’ll be spending all your money on RUGS, maybe even matching coasters!

Don’t be fooled by cheap knock-offs that illegally trade under the MouseRug name; be sure your MouseRug is authentic. The tedious design procedure and Lextra® production process creates an authentic feel that can’t be faked.

Be sure to view all the MouseRug options including the stiff MouseBlade version for uneven work areas, as well as the CoasterRugs and BookRugs.

Natural Rubber Base: made in the U.S.A. (rubber comes from trees in southeast Asia).
Fringed ends: custom produced in the U.S.A. (same company makes fringe for well-known producers of full size rugs).

*MouseRugs are faithful reproductions of actual full-size antique rugs and blankets.

Apparently the pen is mightier than the sword; especially a sharp pen.
If you’re going to have something taking up space on your desk it needs to be creative, family related, or really really expensive.
Dead Fred, made by our good friends at Suck UK, is neither expensive or family related (unless you’re a member of the Manson family). It is however very inventive and will be sure to give your coworkers a chuckle; watch how fast their smiles disappear when you tell them how it reminds you of the last time you saw your father.

Dead Fred is approximately 5”x 3” and is made of silicone rubber.

[Get It $23]

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.

SPIKE- don’t let anyone steal your pen again

[Get It $8]

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.
