Do you have a Facebook fanatic on your gift list this year? Why don't you give them a gift like they've never seen before? mydeskfriend is new little device that integrates into its owners' Facebook account via a Facebook app that allows users to give mydeskfriend its own name, profile, and personality, as well as manage its daily life.

Owners can set mydeskfriend up to read RSS newsfeeds from their news sites and blogs, give it goodies from a Facebook gift page, and put it to sleep by gently rocking it in their hands. mydeskfriend can even follow fingers around a desktop, but no worries…sensory devices keep it from falling off a desk.
mydeskfriend retails for $149.99 and is available at www.mydeskfriend.com. (Source)
