Geek Gear: Great Desk Accessories
I asked you all to share your favorite desk accessories by bookmarking them on TeamSugar last week and as expected, the results were nothing short of wacky. From USB gadgets that massage your hands, LED clocks and paper clip holders to novelty card readers - there are very few goofy gadgets we didn't find.
I like to keep my desktop as clean as possible, so while most of these items entertain me and would likely instigate endless inquiries and jokes I can't see myself buying many of them.

The Perfect Stocking Stuffer: a $10 Desktop Speaker
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!
How-To: Decorate a Dual-Purpose Space
Having lived in a studio in the past, I've experienced first-hand the trials and tribulations of trying to make one room play two roles. I have many friends living tiny apartments who try to cram the furniture meant for both a living room and a bedroom into the same room, and let me tell you, none have succeeded. It's not only studio dwellers that encounter these issues, though.
Ask Casa: A Modern, Non-White Office Color?
Hi Casa,
My husband and I want to paint the office in our house, something that will look clean, modern, and streamlined (and ideally make the room look a little bigger and brighter than it is). However every single "modern" office I see is white, or the slightest variation thereof. Does a workroom have to look sterile to be modern?
Geek Out: Share Your Favorite Desk Accessories
I define desk accessories as things you don't really need, but you want. From novelty speakers, USB-powered beverage heaters and coolers and lamps that charge gadgets to goofy Kung Fu tape dispensers - there seems to be no end to the genre.
I don't need the iCat speaker from Firebox, but that doesn't stop me from drooling over it.
Pottery Barn's New Simple Dock Is Just That
I remain somewhat impressed by Pottery Barn's tech accessories, because even when they're overpriced, they usually hit the right style mark.
The Simple Dock in particular, is no exception; not only is it pretty nice looking (though my thoughts are still in conflict over whether I like the faux leather), but the size is great for a smaller place or desk. Which brings me to my next point; iPod docks these days keep showing up with so many bells and whistles and extras, and sometimes you — or a person you might want to give it to you — don't need all that.
Ask Casa: Tone Down My Bedding
Hi Casa,
I would really love your help/advice on something. I have a Tommy Hilfiger comforter that I bought freshman year for college; the comforter color is similar to this one shown here. At the time, I was really into bright colors, especially hot pink.
Adorable Bunny and Lime Green Cube Cord Organizers
I love cute, kitschy accessories that keep your desk looking cheery yet serve a functional purpose. Displayed on Tokyo Mango, these Cube and Bunny Cord Organizers are two unique ways to keep your cables and cords looking neat and tidy. Because of the nine separate pegs on the cube, you can use it for several small cords at once, whereas the bunny can probably only hold one.
Simply Fab: Hand-painted Thermos
Thermoses are a perfect way to carry around lunchtime tea or morning coffee, but usually they're not the most attractive. This thermos I came across, however, has a pretty floral pattern hand-painted onto it, plus it's only $14! Having this pretty little container might actually tempt me to give up my morning Starbucks run and bring my coffee to work with me instead.
Light Up Your Life With An iPod Lamp
Yes folks, there is an iPod accessory for every occasion. Are you going on a trip? You can extend your battery for 100 hours.
