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!

Time to clean up the miscellaneous draw in the kitchen.  The Takeout Menu Organizer from Franklin Covey is the perfect impetus for exacerbating your addiction to takeout.

Perfect for long nights at the office or the lunchtime crunch.  This organizer includes a pen and pad for taking co-workers orders, nine tabbed dividers with menu storage pockets, adhesive tab labels and a list of frequently called numbers*- genus! 

*You may also want to make a list of the places not to order from.

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.

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.

[Get It $6]

Once again Fred & Friends bring us something effectively useless, yet so tempting to buy. I generally don’t write notes, or use paper for that matter, but I am going to be putting notes and talking bubbles in the margins of everything!

Each pack comes with 25 extra large paper clips, extra thick and plated in gunmetal black.
