Eggling

Description
Fun, decorative, customisable and eventually edible (at least the herbs). Will make a great gift for someone who 'has it all'. It wouldn't even matter if 10 other people had had the same idea - I could quite imagine having a whole collection of these little buggers.

Page Up and Page Up Babies
First to recommend
Description
It's amazing how much easier it is to keep a document standing up using one of these, instead of trying to keep it in place using a hole punch and two heavy books... (I really wish they were my idea!)
What's even better is that they now come in 'baby' size, making them even more of an ideal corporate-but-not-sucky gift.

Description
These scary-cute "pets" have plant seeds for eyes. When you bury them, they reproduce! In any case, they would definitely make a memorable gift.

The Idea Book
First to recommend
Description
The best thing about this book are the 150 empty pages. They follow short quotes or inspirational stories selected to give you a jolt of inspiration, and exist simply to let you capture that great idea you just had.
I got one for myself a couple of years ago, and loved it. Then we bougth one for our programmer guy, and got a few extra to give to clients and such. Let's just say chocolates would have had quite the same effect...

Banana Guard
First to recommend
13 people recommended this item
Description
Like a helmet for your banana (no, not that one). Such a clever solution to the squashed-banana-at-the-bottom-of-the-bag problem!
It claims to "fit the vast majority of bananas" and has small holes to let your fruit breath. Comes in yellow, green, blue, purple and red.

Interactive nature without the interaction! "A nutrient-rich gel supplies all the flower needs to grow inside a sterilized test-tube. ...When the flower outgrows the five-inch tube, simply transplant." (via Cool Hunting)
