Editor's Pick: Rosetta Stone Totale 3-Month
Price: Approx. $250/£180

Today, with the rapid globalisation of business, learning different languages is essential. To learn a new language, the easiest choice is Rosetta Stone. After learning Spanish from Rosetta Stone's newest product, TOTALe, we realized why this company became the best performing IPO in the US in 2009. The TOTALe program adds two interactive elements into the experience. First is the Rosetta Studio where you can find coach-led practice sessions with a live native speaker and the other, Rosetta World which matches you with a native speakers and a learner of the other. After eight years of Spanish, one editor remarked, I learned more using TOTALe, than I ever did in class.

Fellowes PS-79CI Paper Shredder
Price: Approx. $400/£290

We tested out the PS-79Ci Paper Shredder, not expecting it to blow our minds. Yet, in the words of our Head of Finance, 'It ís the greatest shredder we've ever had, a life-saver." That says it all. This bad boy can shred credit cards, 20 large tier sheets at a time and is 100 percent jam proof. Her favorite thing about the shredder is its SilentShred technology, which features a whisper quiet motor that alleviates common shredder noise. And when your Head of Finance is happy, everyone is happy!
