Enchanted Woods iPod Dock: Love It or Leave It?
I've posted about wooden gadgets and accessories before, but this product is a little more rustic than most. The Enchanted Woods iPod Dock ($98) is made from authentic hickory and branches and is a docking station only — no speakers.
It's sold at Anthropologie, a store better known for its pretty dresses than gadgets.

Another Cute Stocking-Worthy iPod Dock
I know, I know, it still might seem a bit early to be thinking about Christmas gifts, but after posting one cute iPod dock that would make a good stocking stuffer, I had to add this funky option to the list.
The Boombox Dock Speaker ($18) is compatible with most iPods and the iPhone, and is less than three inches long. It's totally retro and inexpensive — I love it!
Does Your Makeup Talk to You?
Every once in a while, I run across a gadget I'm not sure is kind of useful or just plain odd. Like cosmetic company Stila's geeky makeup case, which was featured on BellaSugar. Part makeup case, part portable speakers, the Makeup Player ($70) even comes with cosmetics inside.
Bling Out Those Lego Docks With New Metallic Options
Remember the Lego Block iPod Dock of last year? They were big, but they were only available in primary colors (not unlike their origins). If you loved them but thought, you know, I just need a little more bling in my block, then you're totally in luck.
Log iPhone Dock: Love It or Leave It?
My affinity for wood gadget accessories has come to this: an iPhone dock that looks like a log.
Though it's not as sleek as most iPhone docks usually are, I think it's kinda hot. The log dock ($68) is pretty organic, and not just in looks — made from real cedar, it must smell pretty lovely — but watch out for splinters!
MP5-DS Docking Station Is Science Geek Chic, Half Off
I totally fell in love with the Sonic Integrity MP5-DS iPod docking station when I first saw it back in 2007, and now my friends, it's on sale. I loved the science behind the MP5, being that it's a tube amplifier system, which generally produces more rich and warm sounds than regular amp systems. Pack on a set of 50-watt speakers and you're ready to pump up the jams from an iPod dock that's kinda reminiscent of an old school science experiment.
The White House Is Filled With BlackBerrys, iPod Docks
This week, I watched NBC's fascinating two-part Inside the Obama White House special, where news correspondent Brian Williams took viewers on a candid tour of the West Wing — kinda like a day in the life of the Obama administration. Aside from learning about the abundance of freshly picked apples and bowls of candy in every room, Obama's favorite cell phone — the BlackBerry of course — was spotted in the hands of almost every administration employee. There are also many iPods and iPod docks, as employees are encouraged to listen to music while working.
Stuffed Animal iPod Dock: Love It or Leave It?
Holy adorableness! These stuffed animal iPod docks, or Printed Rockin' Plushes, have to be the most precious iPod speakers on the market.
The black and white polka-dot kangaroo or pink patterned bear are both on sale for $35-$39 from PB Kids, and inside their little pouches are iPod jacks and amps.
The Vers 1.5R Is One Sexy Alarm Clock
I'm not in the habit of calling my alarm clocks sexy (mostly because I've developed a hate-hate relationship with mine), but this is definitely the exception.
The Vers 1.5R ($200) is more than an alarm clock though; it's an iPod dock, an AM/FM tuner, it has a 3.5mm AUX-out port for other MP3 players, and it's all crammed neatly into a tiny package, complete with a 15-watt speaker.
Although I love what it does, I also love how it looks.
