I am a gadget dork. At my last job, one of the assistants had a label maker that I coveted. I am not sure why, because some days I barely have time for a bathroom break, let alone labeling stuff, but still. I thought it would be cool to own a label maker. Like, if I could label stuff, I'd maybe lead a more sane existence. It's sad that my fantasy life has come to this.
When I saw this Minimate Cross-Cut Shredder ($49.99) at a Staples holiday party thrown by Audrey from Mom Generations, I lusted after it. And, yes, Max would approve of the color. I know I'm supposed to be pulverizing bills and financial papers so identity crooks can't pluck them out of the garbage, so it would be cool for that, though I can't think of any other evidence I have to destroy except the ridiculous stuff I share here sometimes, and I don't think the shredder works on blogs. Though it's supposed to be tough enough to mince credit cards and CDs, so if that Raffi or Barney music is driving you up a wall, this could come in handy.
There were other cool holiday gifts on display:
The Olympus Stylus Tough
The Flip Video UltraHD Digital Camcorder (I WON one, and also got a Staples gift card).
I also loved the Omnitech Bling Ear Buds you can get in Staples stores for $9.99. Hello, stocking stuffer!
