Mangroomer Electric Shaver
Playing a game of shirts vs. skins when you somewhat resemble a sasquatch is no fun for anyone. Get your body hair in check with the Mangroomer Electric Shaver ($40). Designed for trimming back hair, the 135 degree-opening handle lets you get to basically anywhere on your body that needs shaved, without the need for a helping hand.

Dual-Access Bag Keeps Your Laptop at Hand
This is actually a pretty brilliant design. The Dual-Access Rolling Bag features a laptop-sized pocket on its top, so when you have your bag stored under the seat in front of you on an airplane, you can just slide your computer out without pulling out and opening your whole bag up. It makes getting to your laptop quick and easy, leaving everything else untouched. Seriously, why didn't someone think of this earlier? Frequent travellers are going to love this thing.

XPower Xantrex Mobile Mini Charger
We've seen portable battery packs before, but XPower's Xantrex Mobile Mini charges two things at once. Two. That's double the amount of things charged as one. Just FYI. The Mobile Mini has a USB port so you can plug in just about any USB-friendly charger, like the iPod or the Zune, and has a miniUSB port so you can juice up your Windows Mobile phones as well. At $49, it's not too expensive, especially since it charges...what was it again...oh yes, two things at once.
