Little Necessities

Office Necessities

Poketo.com is a handy little website with seriously cute little gadgets for around the office and home. The Desk-It is a weekly sticky notepad that helps in Sunday through Saturday organization. I have a huge desk calendar that sits unused under my keyboard since I have to lift up my keyboard every time I want to write something new, so annoying! And high up on my want now list is the super cute Music Balloon portable and rechargeable USB speaker.  Another handy little item for the home are these 5 Minute Candles that are packaged to look like a book of matches! I love anything that is miniature and useful!
