The mouse pillow is a small nylon pillow that attaches to the wrist with a Velcro strap and glides with you as you move from the computer mouse to the keyboard. The popularity of this comfort device has caused Rister Enterprises, Inc. to be currently out of stock of the tiny black pillows. However, don't despair the company continues to mail Rister Mouse Pillows to fill stockings for this year's Christmas with red, green and blue pillows. This reasonably priced product sells for $4.99 plus shipping and is a great gift for children to purchase for their dads or web surfing moms. Here's one for Martha Stewart...To add a special touch to the gift, some children are decorating the wristband of the mouse pillow using glue, rhinestones, beads, and sequins. Others are using metallic ink pens to write a special message or personalize the black Velcro wristband. The Rister Mouse Pillow can provide comfort for computer users or those exposed to sharp counters or edges. Those using laptops have found a pair of mouse pillows the answer to provide support and comfort. However, the tiny product is not just for computer users. It can act as a cushion for shoulder straps on brief cases or duffle bags. Some motorists are using mouse pillows to keep seatbelts off their clothing. The physically challenged, have found the Mouse Pillow a relief when using the joystick on electric wheelchairs. Katie, age 7 is waiting for sugarplums to dance when she tucks her stuffed animals in using a Mouse Pillow. However, Rister Enterprises is still waiting for Santa to put in an order for Stuart Little. --30--ajk/cgo* CONTACT: John Demand, 877-526-6873 John@RisterLaMouse.com KEYWORD: ILLINOIS INDUSTRY KEYWORD: COMPUTERS/ELECTRONICS RETAIL
