Sure, brightly colored gadgets and desk accessories have their fun, flirty place, but you can never go wrong with classic black and white gear. It's calming, clean and won't leave your desk in a cluttered mess of different shades and styles. FabSugar noted the black, white and gray trend earlier this season, so it's no surprise we see simple black and white mousepads, iPod cases, desk accessories and geek paraphernalia popping up all over the web.

My favorite find is this adorable Black and White Ghost mouse, $38, which is not only perfect for Halloween, but would probably cheer you up whenever you look at it. The device is a modern 3-button optical wheel mouse, which can connect to a PC or Mac via USB port.
