Wippets (good!) animal monitor cleaners
Wippets, wippets good, for cleaning your monitor. At a measly $4 USD, it's easy to justify picking up one (or several) of these plushy little toys - tools, that is! Available in turtle, hippo (mysteriously only $3), and cute little fuzzy lamb, this is a rare occasion that you can rationalize buying a stuffed animal with office petty cash, or better still, writing it off against tax.

MSI MEGABOOK S262 with pink logo
I haven't seen the pink version of this MSI Megabook S262 out in the wild, but you should be able to hunt one down out there somewhere. The machine itself has a pretty decent feature list - including the very latest Intel Core Duo processor, as well as a 12.1-inch widescreen and a weight of just 1.95kg, making it very portable. Around £800.

Plug in USB Stewie, get disintegrated
At first I thought USB Stewie was another whacked-out USB jumpdrive, but no, it's far more sinister than that. He speaks. He shrieks. He blinks. He waves his arms menacingly. He zaps you with his ray-gun. It all depends on you and your Windows box (no Mac or linux, alas) and what you do that provokes him. It's all your fault. Always. $28 from Urban Outfitters. [GT]

Ultra-fahbulous ergonomic auto-cooling mouse
Dahling, dress all in black, and accessorize with this very cool mouse. The Ergonomic Cool Fan Mouse comes in black, silver, blue and red, and pretty as it may be, it packs some functional panache: it's an 800dpi optical with a glowing blue LED and a built-in cooling fan and vents on top and side, so your hand stays pleasantly temperate whatever you're doing that might, er, heat it up.
