Shred Easy unveils Urban Shredder
Shred Easy is a name that’s pretty much self-explanatory – it specializes in churning out shredders that are an important fixture at any office, gobbling up important information and making sure that said document suffers a similar fate as Humpty Dumpty, where nobody who takes a look at the post-shredding handiwork will be able to piece together the original. This time round, Shred Easy has unveiled yet another member to its range of mobile shredding devices known as the Urban Shredder. It is tipped that the Urban Shredder will be a common sight in city centers sometime in the near future throughout the UK from 23rd November onwards, offering on-site shredding services.

Have fun saving with the Arcade piggy bank
Saving money is never fun, especially when that could be used to fill up your current impulses to purchase items you don’t need so that people you don’t like can be impressed. Well, here’s a better way to save – a carrot on the stick, if you will, with the Arcade piggy bank that features Tetris or Atari Breakout. These games used to cost quarter after quarter in the local arcades a few decades ago, but this time round, you not only get to have an opportunity to obtain a high score, but save money in the process. Choose from black or white colors, as each Arcade piggy bank will cost around $39.90 after conversion.

E-ZCHARGE docking station going cheap
With many people tightening their wallets this holiday season, it makes perfect sense to consider gifts that fall within your budget – and the E-ZCHARGE docking station comes in mind. Retailing for a mere $10, this docking station is good enough to juice up your cell phones, iPods, portable media players and even Bluetooth devices without the use of unsightly long and tangled wires, thanks to the use of a U-shaped cradle and post that adheres directly to any phone’s charger without touching an electrical outlet.
Its ribbed inset provides a non-slip surface, and it is made of sturdy polycarbonate plastic for durability and protection. The E-ZCHARGE solves the problem of unwieldy and unsightly wires that consumers have begrudgingly accepted in lieu of neat countertops and floors. It unclutters as well as organizes for predictable storage and charging. E-ZCHARGE is an innovative non-electrical plastic stand that, with commercial-grade heat-resistant, double-sided tape, affixes to the charging module of small personal electronic devices. The excess cord that is on charging devices gets wrapped around the post, and the end of the wire is held in place by a patented hook. It is small at 2″x 21/2″x1/2″, lightweight (1 oz.), travels well, and is inexpensive. E-ZCHARGE is also available with imprinted corporate logos, and comes in Black and Grey.
