This gift is useful, and not just pretty! It's a pen that also stores small post-it flags and serves as a bookmarker, too. The advertisements I've seen tout it as a great tool for research, but I'm thinking about all the book reviewing I do. It would prove useful in marking up texts for that. You can find it at Everyday Innovations" along with a couple other reader-focused tools.
