A Gadget Lover's Dream: Quirky.com

Ever wish you were James Bond and had your very own Q to create extremely unique, functional and stylish gadgets for your everyday needs? You probably don't need a tricked out Aston Martin, poison dart pens or frames with laser beams, but you may need a contraption to keep your cords neat and tangle free or a mouse pad that doubles as a writing pad or a flexible power strip. Well, Quirky.com has these cool gadgets and more!

And if they don't have your dream gadget, you can create one with them! Quirky.com allows you to submit ideas and then get all the development support you need!

And if you or your gadget loving friend are just bursting with ideas, you may want to consider becoming a Quirky Pro member...

If you're looking for a unique gift or want to become the next Q, check out Quirky.com. I already have a couple of products on my wish list and some ideas ready to submit....
