HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE – MUST HAVES – Belkin CushTop – With Giveaway

GIFT IDEA – BELKIN CUSHTOP

My friend’s cousin once burnt his hoo-ha because he didn’t realize how hot a laptop can get and used it on his lap without benefit of protection (or clothing, LOL). The Belkin CushTop is a must have item for anyone with a laptop.

About the Belkin CushTop

  • Provides increased padded comfort when you use your laptop on your couch, bed, or floor.
  • Features a convenient storage pocket to keep your power adapter and mouse tucked away.
  • Flips over to accommodate smaller or larger laptops, whichever you need.

I tried the Belkin CushTop. I thought it might be awkward having it on my lap but it was soft and comfortable and actually gave me a more comfortable angle for typing. I didn’t feel any heat coming from the laptop when I used it. I’d love to see a wider version that allowed for use of a mouse as well.

The Belkin CushTop retails for $34.99 and is available to purchase online and in select stores nationwide.

WIN IT!

ONE winner will receive a Belkin CushTop.

HOW TO ENTER. (MANDATORY)

To enter leave me a comment on this post telling me what you currently put under your laptop to protect you from heat when using it.

    I am currently using a pillow. But I would give this to my Mother, she just bought her first laptop. Thank you

    Usually, I just put my MacBook on my knee or I use a pillow to lift it up a little.

    We use all sorts of things – just depends on where we are using the laptop. Sometimes a pillow, sometimes a breakfast tray, sometimes a stack of books – it’s just crazy! This would be awesome to use!

    i read your mom’s post about the Grill CHarms. I have never seen these, but I think my husband would love them! He loves quirky new things! He’s our grill man and it would be cool to have the ones that mark your steaks as to how you want them cooked! thanks

    I left a comment on your MOm’s Here and THere post reviewing the Casio digital 12x zoom camera she took to Florida. I love her Epcot shot she got. Hope she gets it repaired quickly and back soon enough to NOT miss out on those great lasting memories by use of photos!

    Your MOm’s post about the Board Book Albums was so touching. I left a comment about some of our issues with teaching too. THis item looks like a winner! Teaching to communicate and learn through REAL pictures is something I have learned works better, faster, easier also. Nice review!

    I read your MOm’s Here and THERe post about the Wizards of Waverly Place MOvie on DVD. My kids love this show and we have seen parts of the movie. I guess it will teach my kids to be careful what they wish for?!!!It is a question that many could ask…what if my parents never met?
