Dyson Root 6 DC16 Handheld Vacuum Cleaner

10 people recommended this item

Description

This has got to be one of the most impressive hand tools of any category, at least as far as looks go. And, though you may be disappointed to learn it cannot atomize steel, it does do a great job of vacuuming as you would expect from any product with the name Dyson on it. It's somewhat larger and heavier than the standard dirt devil and dust buster toys, but when you pull the trigger, feel the torq, and see the green and red LEDs glowing, you know you're in charge and that mess is history.

I think this is the coolest color iPod yet - and with $10 going to fight AIDS in Africa, this sexy, multi-functional little do-gooder is a wonderful gift for the holidays. (via cayi99)

ToughSkin Case - Speck Products

First to recommend

Description

I'm a HUGE fan of Speck Products! They make kickass rubber cases that really protect. The ToughSkin case is just thick enough to give your phone "Maximum Rugged Protection" but slim enough get in and out of your pocket. I recommend getting the black case because over time the transparent one will yellow.

FON - La Fonera

3 people recommended this item

Description

The idea behind La Fonera is to share your internet connection and where ever you go in the world you will have access to an internet connection. The catch? You have to be a member of the FON community and share your internet through a special router called La Fonera. You can also make money off your La Fonera router if you're one of the lucky few who have tons of people who are part of the FON community but don't have an internet connection to share. They pay $3 for a day pass to use yours (you get half that money & FON gets the other). However you can not have the best of both worlds and get free internet AND make money. 'Tis only fair.

Once more people start getting La Foneras and hooking them up to share their internet this will be one community you won't want to miss out on! Just imagine being anywhere in the world armed with a laptop and your FON account accessing the internet for free! (via FON)

Western Digital Passport 120GB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive

2 people recommended this item

Description

As a perpetual freelancer and someone who works between 3 computers (minimum) at any given time I need to be able to get my files and get them now! The WD Passport allows me to seamlessly work between my 3 computers since the data I need to access lives on the 1 portable drive. The drive is lightweight with rubber on the bottom to help it be all rugged. I carry this portable hard drive with me practically everyday! It's definitely helped make my workflow much better!

Rain Design iLap

6 people recommended this item

Description

I've tried many laptop accessories and found Rain Design's iLap to be one of my favorites by far. It's a great item for those of us who like to work in bed or on the couch. The soft velvet feet and wrist rests makes is comfortable and the aluminum body keeps it light. It keeps the computer heat away from your lap very well. It's also great just to keep the laptop on your desk since it lifts the computer away from the desk to let it breathe aka let the fan properly run and disperse. I have the largest iLap which is for 17inch widescreen PCs and it can be a little difficult to keep it on my lap for long periods of time but then I'm a small girl and a 17inch widescreen PC is a little insane to begin with. Smaller laptop users will find this a gem! You'll never know how you lived without it! (via Rain Design)

Sumajin Smartwrap

14 people recommended this item

Description

Saw the recomendations on ThisNext and bought some through Amazon. I'm glad I have them and would recommend them to others, but wish the ends closed a little tighter to better secure stiffer cords.

Warning: Do not purchase these from "IGgFactory Handhelditems" (an Amazon vendor). They only sent me half my order and never responded to any of my emails through Amazon or their own web site even though I provided my cell phone. When I posted about this on Amazon, they started sending me money offers to take down the negative feedback. Too late.
