For your techy friend | Maloo Laptop Case

One part functional, and one part cutting edge chic, these laptop cases are the coolest we’ve seen yet.  

Maloo’s laptop cases are made of 100% wool felt (not the standard neoprene…or worse, nylon) and are multifunctional.  Not only do they serve as laptop cases with their velcro straps, but they also serve as heat-absorbing mats on which to place your laptop while in use.  And you can leave your mousepad at home, because they also double as a chic mousepad.

If you like what you see, snap it up fast–they’re for sale for the next Two Days Only at Charles and Marie.  After that, check out Red Maloo’s site for these cases. 

Thanks, Marcus, for bringing our attention to these laptop cases!

$75 at Charles and Marie.

Limited Time Offer for the nano-lover | Nano Wallet

Brought to our attention by a reader named Marcus with a particularly sharp eye…

If you’re looking for THE iPod nano wallet, look no further.  Charles and Marie still have this adorable item in stock, unlike all of the other retailers who are currently on backorder. 

The wallet, measuring 3.5" by 2.5", is constructed out of full grain leather (the good stuff) and holds your Nano along with the essentials—credit cards and cash. 

But buy it NOW because it’s only going to be available until about 4pm PST today!

$25 at Charles and Marie.

For the Big Boss | Baby Keepsake Memory Box

New parents have already gotten all their basic baby needs (blankets, diapers, changing table, crib, etc. etc. etc.) taken care of in their many baby showers and you know how fast babies outgrow clothes.  This gift is practical, sentimental and it lasts. It gives the new parents a place to collect their baby keepsakes; plus how many times have you heard parents coo over the teeny size of their baby’s feet?

$39.95 at Pearhead.

For the College Roommate | Egg Rug

I’ll admit it: I’m planning on getting this for myself. That’s how cool it is. The egg is this great irregular shape, and the yolk is raised a few inches higher than the rest of the rug. Could one think of a better way to cover up spilled drinks from last night’s party?

$24 at Triple B Studio.
