Things You Didn't Realise You Needed

Item 1: Split USB Port.
We are all Apple girls here. We know how freakin' impossible it is to have more than one device shoved in the side of your laptop. I have a USB internet stick-thing, which is fantastic, however it means I can't connect my iPod or my camera at the same time because there's not enough room! Who would have thought USBs could have fat days too? Griffin Technologies has a split USB plug which solves this maddening problem - and it's pocket size. Not huge and chunky. So your USBs can stop feeling so bloated and apologetic.

Item 2: Mirror Compact from Paul Smith
You may not realise you need it right now, but place yourself in a dimly lit club any given hour when you're on a date, and he disappears to buy drinks or go to the gents and you are designated stuff-sitter. It's lame-o to check your phone (hey! aren't you on a date? that thing should be turned off!). Check your lipstick instead. Too dark, you say? This adorable compact lights up at the flick of a switch. And the best thing about it, is that it looks like a mobile phone. So when Mister returns earlier than expected, you can pretend you were on your phone rather than the vanity-stick. They come in love hearts, skull & cross bones or a variety of geometric prints.

Item 3: Horoscope Bracelet
Ok... maybe you don't really need it, but wouldn't it be handy to tell what star sign people are just by a quick glance at their wrist? (These bracelets map the constellation that matches your sign) No? You're not as superstitious as me? Hmm.... But they do need some type of sign for single people in bars and at events, because it is very hard to tell when you're just having a chat. You don't want to inadvertently piss some girl off by accidentally flirting with her boyfriend. They need a sign. Anyway. Check out Jessica Cushman's website for great bangles, cuffs and bags. I guarantee you'll find more stuff you suddenly discovered that you need.
