These may not be desk accessories covered with Swarovski crystals, but they are glittery pink and studded with rhinestones. Featured on Uber Review, this rhinestone mouse and matching rhinestone calculator make the perfect Mother's Day gifts. Priced at only $20 for the mouse and $18 for the calculator, you can go all out and get both if you'd like. And if you really want to spoil your ma, go wild and include the matching stapler! What do you think? Would you give this to your mother?
Craftzine sparked my attention by sharing a great tutorial to make a simple fabric snap close camera case that can be modeled to any camera and would make a great Mother's Day gift for mom. Check out the full tutorial here.

Sony Ericsson has announced a new phone born out of its design teams' "love for the materials and colors found in the natural world." You would expect that means a phone made of hemp, patchwork and blue sky, but it actually came out more like a mood ring.
The Sony Ericsson S500 is a 14mm slim slider with color accents and changing desktop themes. You set the in-phone themes and external light effects to change when you want - with the seasons, as day turns to night or when the weekend begins.
The phone also includes regular phone functions such as a 2.0 megapixel camera, a media player and expandable Memory Stick slot.
In the mid-nineties when email was creating quite the buzz, everyone and their sister signed-up for a Hotmail account. Soon after the release of email clients such as Yahoo Mail and the much later Gmail, Hotmail soon became an outdated email service. Well Microsoft is back in action with their latest launch, Windows Live Hotmail- the most significant upgrade to Hotmail since its introduction in 1996. I still have yet to tap into my old Hotmail account and check out this new and improved 'Live Hotmail'. Are you still a Hotmail user? Or have you made the leap to Gmail?
Bring a slice of summer right to your laptop with these vinyl schtickers by Kolobags!
Lapschtickers are great because they add color and style to your laptop while protecting the top from scratches. And if you get bored of a particular print, you can easily remove the current Lapschtick and switch it up...which I must say is far less risky than permanently tattooing your laptop.
One size fits all as you can trim to fit almost all laptops and the price is $20. Check out all the fun patterns below, which include: red blossom, pink gerber daisy, black skull, blue snappy stripes, black racy and green asterisk (shown here).
