Doorganizers

19 people recommended this item

Description

Instead of going through the trouble of writing "remember other office keys" on a piece of paper and attaching it to the door - after searching for a piece of paper, a pen, and the tape - you would simply place the keys in this.
Just pray that the next note you'd find yourself writing isn't "remember to check the Doorganizer". Got to love the name. (via Lifehacker)

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.

Plant Me Pet

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.
