We know, we know — you live in a digital world. But occasionally, you've got to scribble a note the old-fashioned way. The Memo Mousepad is a cleverly modern addition to any desk: It's a 60-sheet pad of paper (available in pretty patterns and graphic prints) with a skid resistant backing. Keep one next to the keyboard so you'll have it handy for jotting down a phone number, a to-do list or, more likely, a Web address. $9.95, available at Patina (www.patinastores.com).
