These Clipps would be handy for displaying cards or photos, or any other miscellaneous papers you might have lying around. If you look closely at the photograph, you can see that the Clipp is actually bent from one piece of spring steel. The large size has a hole on one side so that you could hang it on the wall if you so desired.

Look! How neat are these?

“A mystery is revealed. The artist Jos van der Meulen found out how clothes-pegs grow on trees. In these secret woods he harvests the wood and transforms them into little statues. They are all unique. It keeps your photos and other precious things you want to remember.”

Tobias Wong exhibited this Diamond video installation for Commes Des Garcons in Tokyo. It’s made of 100 sparkling and rotating diamonds and is available in a screensaver for Mac or PC.

These remind me of 3rd grade, but in a good way. Covers are screen-printed by hand and have a small pocket inside the front cover for whatever you wish to keep in it.

Designed by Jen Corace.

4.75″ x 6.5″

Made in USA.

What do you get the person who has everything? Well, duh. You get them a set of 10 crystal color cube paperweights. Hand cut and polished crystal, these cubes would be oh so pretty upon any surface all spread out or stacked or any which way. I would snap them up myself if I had some money to burn. I wish they were available individually.

(design year: 1929!)

each one a different color (clear, alexandrite, amethyst, aquamarine, beryl, cobalt, eldor, rosalin, smoke, and topaz)

2.33″ cubed

I’m not one for lots of trinkets or doodads on my desk, but I do think that these laughing Buddhas might lift the spirits in the midst of work overload…as well as keep some of those papers right where they’re needed.

4.5″ H

Quite clever. This pen and pencil set look very similar to the classic #2 pencil we all grew up with…revive the old school style by giving this to somebody who’d appreciate it. Made of lacquered brass barrels (lead and eraser refills included). (And! the packaging looks like a notebook!)

I once read this book called Execution: The Discipline of Getting Things Done by renowned business consultants Larry Bossidy and Ram Charan. Let me give you a synopsis so you don’t have to read it: It’s great to have plans, but the only way to accomplish them is by implementing strategies, which require that you assign the tasks to your minions. In this case, your plans are your New Years Resolutions and your strategy is this Resolution Tracker. And your minions is you.

Includes: 2 interior pockets, 1 “I’ve Got Resolve!” pencil, 12 Resolution Brief cards, 12 pages each of Resolution Log, Lapse Log, & Reward Log (36 total), 12 Certificates of Accomplishment, and 1 how-to pamphlet (16 pages)

Spiralbound, dual-pocket notebook, 5 x 7 inches

For anybody who appreciates minimalism, this simple white sketchbook has only the small letters and numbers shown on the cover. I like it.

I am amused by this particular journal, not only because it has a silk twill cover (with tonal diagonal stripes), but also because of who it’s sold by (you’ll have to click on the link to see). I think this would qualify as a good gift, don’t you?

“One hundred fourteen beautiful lined pages with embossed silver edges, a satin bookmark”

“Last pages include a perpetual calendar, international weather information, world time zones and weight and measure conversions.”

I think these are my favorite things for today. They’re die cut cork (with repositionable backing), and you arrange them however you feel like, and display your notes or photos on them. I’d like to see them spread out all over the wall, but goodness knows there’s all sorts of options. So if you get them, you’ll just have to be creative.

Box of 12 cork discs.

Here we go again with the 2d to 3d design. This in/out box would be perfect for all your work-pile separating needs. It has a unique dual-surface mechanism which prevents the mingling of paperwork that has yet to be worked on with paperwork that needs to be worked on.

I think acrylic may have run it’s course (has it?), but I still like the idea of having an entirely transparent room.

“Features a tray with a variety of configurable holders, including a tape dispenser, stapler, magnetic clip-cup, and letter holder. Made of clear polystyrene plastic with metal parts.”

How many times have you inteded to bring something with you to work and you’ve entirely forgotten? If it’s too many times to count, you may just want this 50 sheet “Forget me not” pad that hangs on your door knob.

Perfect for the office or kitchen, this 2 1/2 x 28 inch colorful metal strip comes with 12 tiny but powerful magnets to hold photos, notes and/or recipies without damaging the item in question.

Available in red, sky blue, apple green, black, soft white and orange.

Wall mounting hardware included.
