My Suite Stuff is selling hand-made pillows with the logos of Adobe applications on them.
They cost $15 each (+$7 shipping) and you can choose between Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Flash, InDesign, and Dreamweaver. If you like them all, you can buy the whole 6-pillow set for $80.

I use Adobe applications on a day to day basis and I run into little things here and there that have gone unnoticed by the people who write the application. Over at Adobe UI Gripes, there’s a whole list (with pictures!!!) of various Adobe mistakes that drive lots of people mad. Things like misplaced menus, stupid errors, and calculation mistakes.
The one above resonates with me the most so far because it happens to me ALL the time. I hate it. It doesn’t do what you think it’s going to do.

The Photojojo store is selling keyboard shortcut skins for several popular Mac applications like Photoshop, Aperture, and Final Cut Pro. The skins go over their respective shortcut keys and allow a sort of quick-look access rather than having to go through menus to do the same action.
The great thing is that the Photojojo folks have tailored the keyboard skins to different keyboard layouts that are most popular with Mac users, like laptop keyboards and Apple’s range of desktop keyboards (wireless, thin, and classic).
The only downside however is that these keyboard skins are $30. For $30, I think I’d just take the time and print out a cheat sheet and tape it to my wall. A good place to start would be KeyXL or ShortcutGuide (ShortcutGuide has an option to display the shortcuts on a keyboard layout).
