We are glued to our cell phones.  They are the one thing we can't seem to leave home with.  They are will us 24/7.  In a sea of black and silver devices, wouldn't it be nice if our cell phone could stand out a little and say something about our personality?

That's exactly what Gelaskins does.  Working hundreds of artists, Gelaskins "takes the art off the walls" and allows you to bring it with you wherever you go.  You can personalize your device by choosing amazing art from their huge collection or by uploading your own image for a truly one-of-a-kind customization. 

Gelaskins are made from premium, patented 3M adhesive which allows you to apply the skin to your device but it leaves no residue behind.  The materials contains patented micro-channels that prevent air bubbles and the special adhesive allows you to re-position the skins for a perfect fit.  Not only does the material customize your device, it also protects it from scratches.

Gelaskins are available for over 100 different devices so there is sure to be a cover for yours.  They are available online for only $14.95 plus $2.95 shipping. 

We know it's early, but these make a FANTASTIC christmas gift.

Quite a few of our Stimulistas are photographers, both amateur and professional.  We've seen the equipment that they need to carry around.  Different lenses, different cameras and they are all delicate and cumbersome.

Shootsac is the ultimate accessory for photographers.  Designed by a young photographer, Jessica Claire, the Shootsac is the first lens bag that picks up where your camera bags leaves off.  Constructed of durable Neoprene and designed to be worn while you are shooting, the Shootsac carries your different lenses, batteries, flashcards and all the other necessary items, right at your fingertips.  No more fumbling!

For those of us that are not photographers, the Shootsac also makes the Hip Slip, a functional, fun, trendy sleeve for laptops.  They've thought of everything with the Hip Slip.  There is a zippered pocket to stash your power cord and cell phone.

We really love the fact that both the Shootsac and the Hip Slip have interchangeable covers ($39).  These trendy, fun, patterned covers are what make your Shootsac and/or Hip Slip your own. 

We're thrilled that Shootsac ($179) and Hip Slip ($99) are now shipping to Canada ($35).  You can order yours online at their International site.

Entertaining ourselves during a workout has never been easier.  What started with the Sony Walkman has now morphed into ipods and MP3 players that are so tiny they can tuck into any pocket - or bra strap!  However, there is still the issue of the earbud cords.  They get tanged and flap around as we jog - until now.

The Rusty Set It Straight hoodie is wired for sound.  The hoodie drawstrings are the earbuds and the jack to plug in your ipod is in the pocket.  Genius!  While the sound quality isn't up to the level of your high-end earbuds, you sure can't complain about how convenient it is!  The best part is that the entire hoodie, technology and all, is machine washable.

The Rusty Set It Straight hoodie is available online from PacSun.  Regularly priced at $58.13 CAD, it is currently on sale for only $46.39 CAD.  Shipping, handling, duty and taxes are an additional $22.94.  Prices fluctuate slightly with the currency conversion.

Do you have a cupboard full of cookbooks along with a recipe folder or binder that is overflowing with handwritten recipes?  We do too.  That's when we realized that almost everything else in life is going digital, why not cooking.

The Demy Digital Recipe Reader will revolutionize the way you cook.  This kitchen-safe device has a high-resolution colour touchscreen which makes it very easy to search and flip through your "cookbook". 

 It works very much like your ipod.  Using a simple USB connection, the Demy sync's with the online cooking site, keyingredient.com.  This site allows you to search for new recipes, upload your own and store it all in your cookbook.  It will even help you organize your grocery shopping list.  Best of all, the site is free to sign up!

Right now the Demy is available at Costco in Langley for $199.99.  Don't worry.  If Costco is out, you can order it at costco.ca, keyingredient.com or mydemy.com.

While we wouldn't really call ourselves "Geeky" when it comes to techie stuff and gadgets, we do appreciate a good idea when we see it.

Many of us like to have dim lighting when we are working on our computers in the evening but sometimes seeing the keyboard becomes an issue.  Online retailer, Think Geek, has Glowing Keyboard Stickers.  Made from high quality, fluorescent print, they reflect any ambient light - even the dimmest source.  This means that just the glow from your monitor will illuminate the keys. Fabulous idea!

They come in a sticker sheet that are just peel and stick.  You can trim them to fit non-standard sized keyboards and they have a matte surface that is pleasant to the touch.

You can order your set online from Think Geek for only $9.99 plus shipping.
