If someone you know is a slave to her cube, then you can't go wrong with giving an awesome office or desk-centric gift this holiday. But let's be honest, no one wants the main gift to sit on a desk at work, so make it a stocking stuffer instead. Yes, stocking stuffer. Since you're busy buying gifts to go under your perfectly trimmed tree, let this serve as a reminder that there is some expectation to fill those fuzzy socks you hung up - they aren't just for show. I'm just sayin'. Check out my picks for some awesome office-minded stocking stuffers in this slideshow. And for more gift ideas, make sure you check out HolidaySugar! Source

Stocking Stuffers: Tiny Treats For Geeky Guys

GeekSugar — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 09:00:56 -0800

If you are in the market for stocking stuffers for the geeky guys in your life look no further. After years of judging the Christmas morning faces of my male family members I have compiled a collection of small gifts that will make a big statement.

While it may seem juvenile for anyone over age 12, the Tony Hawk HelmetCam, $50, is a surefire hit. It can strap on to any helmet and has a special laser target feature, which means he can set it, press record and start recording extreme sports, birthday parties or goofy nights out with friends. The geeky guys in your life will flip - I promise.

Mario iPod Cozy ($8)	Mile High Charger ($20)
Alessi Jalk Key Ring Stainless Steel ($24)	Mini MP3 Speakers ($30)
Tony Hawk HelmetCam ($30)	Lexon Mini Dolman Am/Fm Radio ($61)
Apple 1 GB iPod shuffle ($80)	Folle Stapler ($135)

Stocking Stuffers: Tiny Treats For Geeky Girls

GeekSugar — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 10:00:39 -0800

Department and toy stores are filled with small trinkets and gadgetry this holiday season. Some of it is neat, some of it is the kind of junk that ends up in the back of your closet or in a box in the garage. How do you sort through the world of shiny items and get a growing geek girl cute stocking trinkets she'll actually like?

I suggest doing a bit of product and personality research. If your geeky gal isn't quite old enough for a fancy digital camera get her an inexpensive camera with fun features. If she's in school get her a flash drive that's as lovable as it is practical.

For a selection of my favorite mini geek treats scroll through the widget below.

Tetris Cube ($14)	Lomography Fisheye Camera $60
Magnavox Keychain Digital Camera ($20)	Turbo iPod Charger ($24)
Domo Kun USB Flash Drive ($60)	Hello Kitty Bling Digital Camera ($60)	The Zune by Nylon ($250)

I know, stocking stuffers haven't even crossed your mind yet, but now that I'm starting to whip up my holiday gift guides, I can't help but think about gadgets and gizmos that would make perfect Christmas gifts.

I found this adorable little battery-operated desktop speaker from the Container Store that only costs $10 and works with any iPhones, iPod Touches, and iPods - hello! Great inexpensive gift! Not only is it a handy accessory for your desk, but it's also ideal for taking on trips, or for your nightstand at home. And with its grippy surface, you can keep your device in a vertical or horizontal position.

Something I need to do more of is clean my computer screen. I don't even want to know how much dust and crud is on there right now. If you're like me and you need a quick and easy way to keep your monitor clean, for only $7 you can pick up one of these animal screen cleaners.

Each animal adheres right on your monitor and when you need a fast cleaning session, just pull the cord and wipe your screen. Choose from spider, caterpillar or fish. A great stocking stuffer indeed. And for more gift ideas, head on over to HolidaySugar!

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!

Relief From Old Building Syndrome: USB Gloves

GeekSugar — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 10:06:03 -0800

If your office building is old (like mine), and you are nowhere near those old-school radiator heaters that line the walls (like me), and the windows are not exactly "double-paned" to keep the heat in (you know it), there's a good chance you will be f-f-f-freezing come Winter. So what can you do, other than huddle by the heat of your desktop? Get some USB Heated Gloves, that's what.

The good part about these USB gloves is the open fingers that will still allow you to type up that TPS report in no time, since there's no fabric hindering your keystrokes.

Plus, you can heat each one individually (you know, in case your right hand is colder than your left) and connect them to your PS2 and Xbox 360 for toasty, warm gaming. And for only $25 bucks, they may even make a funny stocking stuffer for the zombie-handed female in your life! You know who I mean.

Oh, and for using your iPhone in the cold weather? Well, that's when you pick up a pair of these classy gloves.
