Case Logic’s “Security Friendly” line was a very “giftable” CES find. The “Security Friendly” feature refers to the fact that this line has been TSA approved, so laptops don’t have to be removed from these cases to go through security at the airport.

These bags can be unzipped and laid flat on the belt, so that’s one less thing you have to worry about while trying to catch a flight. These cases are very well padded but certainly not bulky. “Security Friendly” gear is a must for that frequent traveler.

Have you ever noticed sometimes you can get 11 hours of sleep and still wake up a big grump and at other times you can get six hours sleep and wake up ready to take on the world? For the most part that has to do with sleep cycles–which, frankly, I know very little about–but I do know that the Sleeptracker watch is designed to optimize these cycles and wake you up (within a time window of your choosing) at the precise moment when your body will react both refreshed and alert. 

Imagine never waking up on the wrong side of the bed? The Sleeptracker is perfect for that morning sleepy head who can use a little help waking up right! Give it to the recent graduate who won't have you there to drag them out of bed every day or give it to your friend who just landed a new job–don't let them be late for their first day!

Sleeptracker Pro Watch starting at $179

Anyone who knows me well, knows that I love birds. Well, not real ones, but just about any artistic interpretation out there. So naturally I love this adorable little bird desk accessory. And since it chirps when you touch it, it gives you another reason to stop what you should be doing to enjoy a few seconds with your new little buddy. This is a great gift for any student, bird lover or office dweller.

If you travel internationally a lot, or have a close friend or family member who does, you no doubt already know all about the wonders of Skype. Skype is a great way to make cheap calls to overseas landlines and cell phones, and free calls to other Skype subscribers all around the world. What's not so great about Skype, though, is being tethered to the computer while making those calls. How are you supposed to multi-task while you talk? Or flip through the latest issue of US Weekly?

The Belkin Wi-Fi Phone for Skype makes it possible to step away from the computer while taking advantage of Skype's free unlimited phone calls without the need of a PC. A great gift for the frequent flier in your life.

If you know someone who has declared 2008 the year to make a career–or to at least make it to the next rung on the corporate ladder–these corporate flashcards, featuring a pronunciation guide and definition and synonyms for 60 terms, are a great way to brush them up on their jargon and help fight that case of post-holiday, back-to-work blues.

While they won't guarantee an instant promotion or dream job, the flashcards will at least provide a helpful guide to climbing the corporate ladder. They're also a great gift for the recent college grad still looking for his or her first "real job."

Corporate Flashcards starting at $14

One trend that I keep seeing is people gravitating toward stylish laptop protection. Laptop bags, sleeves and packs are all all getting style improvements for safely taking laptops on-the-go. Golla showed off their latest line of gear at CES.

With colorful designs and sturdy construction, their bags are a nice option. Many of the color schemes will appeal more to women, but there certainly are some stronger colors the guys can also pull off. I really like the packs because there are tons of pockets to store all your stuff–camera, phone, iPod, snacks. Golla gear is a fine choice for the style conscious gadget gal (or guy) who loves to make a statement.
