I was recently sent a really cool little solar lamp from Useful Things.com to review for the site. Given my love for the fun, the quirky, and the whimsical, I love Useful Things. I remember once, one of my daughters (Brittany) was walking through the house with boyfriend # 3 (aka Justin). She pointed to my stuffed hillbilly rooster with one hand and a totally crazy calendar with the other and said, “That’s my mom.” # 3 became an all-time favorite when he said, “I love those!”
I miss him. I miss #1, too. But #4? Sociopath.
Sidetracked. Back to my super cool solar lamp. Due to its small size, this lamp is perfect for small areas such as nightstands and desks. It’s also perfect as a nightlight, as long as you (or your child) likes quite a bit of light. You couldn’t ask for a safer nightlight – even if you fall asleep with the light on, not a big deal. Speaking of children, I have to say I LOVE the thought of having such a safe lamp around kids – no outlet required. Even #4 couldn’t hurt himself or others with this lamp.
This little solar lamp would also be perfect for the mobile office – it’d light up an otherwise dark car without breaking a sweat. You could even sit at a picnic table with your solar lamp and work. I have no idea why you’d be sitting at a picnic table at night working, but I’m not here to judge.
I was honestly really surprised at how much light this solar lamp puts off. I’ve always wanted to try a solar lamp but never got around to it. You know my fascination and obsession with lamps – I guess part of me just doubted that a solar lamp could put off enough light. I’ll admit it, I was completely wrong.
This compact solar lamps only measures in at 7.75″ in height and 3.75″ in diameter, yet you’d never know it by the amount of light given off. You simply “charge” the lamp with about 8 hours of sunlight, then turn it on when you’re ready for it to light up your world – or at least your corner of the room.
A solar panel on top of the lamp keeps the lithium battery charged for hours at a time. The light bulb is a portable LED lamp bulb for extra energy efficiency. You can choose between blue or clear.

Well, #3 would’ve liked it.
Um. Yes, please.
This handsome, winsome, and delightfully charming little guy is the Desktop Gothic Goblins: Thaddeus the Troll from Design Toscano.
Earlier today, I left a comment on an other blog vowing my love for the extraordinary, the different, the eclectic, and the off-beat. I claimed that the more outrageous and unexpected something was, the more I felt drawn to it. I love things that people can’t walk past – things that stop them in their tracks. And if it’s something that makes someone say, “Why do you have that?” to which I can answer, “Because I can” – all the better!
As I was browsing desktop statues and accessories a few minutes ago, the proof of my words materialized in the form of a troll. Don’t you love it when that happens?
Each approx. 5″Wx4½”Dx4″H. 1 lb.
Click here for a closer look, but unless your mother is as completely offbeat as I am, I wouldn’t grab Thaddeus for a Mother’s Day gift…. although the look on said mother’s face might prove worth it. Hehehehehe.
Whether you work from home or far from home, I’m sure you know how important business cards are. How could it NOT be a great thing for potential customers or clients to have constant reminders of you – the greatest at what you do!

The Prada Desk Accessories – SAFFIANO BUSINESS CARD HOLDER is probably the most stylish and classy way to keep said reminders. This business card holder is absolutely stunning.

Stalking again.
My oldest daughter, Emily, is a huge Green Bay Packers fan. A fanatical cheese-head is she. Oddly enough, each member of our family likes a different NFL team. I’m a Broncos fan… not a particularly giddy one this year, but a Broncos fan nonetheless. My husband loves the JETS, JETS, JETS. My youngest daughter follows Randy Moss – whichever team he’s on? Yeah, that’s her favorite.
Our middle daughter is a Cowboys fan but I’m pretty sure she just likes the colors. And Romo.

Sigh.

You know those occasional products, recipes, gadgets, or Starbucks drinks that you wish you’d thought of? Things so perfect that you’d love to take credit for them?
I met perfection yet again this week and would ever so love to take credit for its invention. I’m not trying to break any of the 10 Commandments, so I’ll confess, I didn’t design or invent this ingenious desk lamp.
But I do use it. I do love it. And I would kick you in the shins if you tried to take it from me.
I was sent my very own beautiful OttLite Natural Daylight Desk Lamp to review for Office Freaks. Like a good little Office Freak, I did a happy dance when the box arrived. Like a good little diva with wet nails, I had someone else open the box for me as I danced on.
I was immediately struck by how handsome the OttLite Natural Daylight Desk Lamp is. Verrrry good looking – sleek, stylish, and classy looking. We popped in the jazzy little bulb that comes with the lamp and plugged it in. Voila!
The light is different than other desk lamps, and it only adds to its beauty. You know as well as I do that when it comes to working at a desk, having optimal lighting is a necessity. Especially if you fall under the category of “baby boomer” or have to wear corrective eye wear. Good lighting is even more vital.
Most people just don’t give their office lighting nearly enough thought. Big mistake. Optimal lighting reduces eyestrain, helps productivity and can jazz up your workspace decor. The OttLite Natural Daylight Desk Lamp does all of these.
This desk lamp delivers OttLite® High Definition Natural LightingTM, the closest thing to natural sunlight and a healthier lighting option, in a streamlined and sleek design. The 13-watt OttLite HD bulb is rated to last up to 10,000 hours and the stylish lamp is 14” tall. This is the ideal size for a computer desk or writing desk.
The OttLite Natural Daylight Desk Lamp will be available at Office Depot and online at www.ottlite.com starting October 22. It regularly retails for $39, but will be offered at the special price of $29 on November 26, Black Friday.
I’ve been using my new little beauty each day since it arrived and want to tell you that I absolutely LOVE it. I sit it on my computer desk and use it when writing or reading. The special lighting doesn’t cause eyestrain whatsoever. A lot of lamps cause an almost blinding glare to reflect off of paper – the OttLite’s having none of that.
Be sure to check Office Depot and www.ottlite.com as soon as October 22 to order your own lamp. I guarantee you that you’ll love it SO MUCH, you’ll order another one when Black Friday rolls around.
October 22 – you know when that is, right? Tomorrow! Tomorrow! The sun will come out (in a desktop lamp) tomorrow… it’s on-ly a day a-way….
I could’ve been on Broadway.
