I have always liked to see invention and imagination applied into practice no matter what field of activity you are dealing with. It is important, from my point of view, to do things differently, to bring a new fresh perspective over things and to combine the usefulness of some objects with a touch of beauty. For example mouse pads are considered by most people just dull square objects, usually printed in dark colors, that are only used to support your computer mouse and which are not even necessary for a good functioning of your mouse any more. Well, it depends. If you have enough imagination or find some other guys who do and they use it in producing interesting and special mouse pads, than you are fortunate, as you can enjoy a good and nice useful thing and at the same time admire a work of art or a memory that is dear to you. That is exactly the case with the house mouse pad.



Like all mouse pads, the house mouse pad can be divided into two types: the mouse pad in the shape of a house and the mouse pad with the picture of a house printed on it. Usually the house shaped mouse pads are used for advertising. They are used as advertising objects given as a gift to customers or inserted in a magazine or even offered as a bonus when the clients are purchasing a certain merchandise. Because they have the shape of a house, this must be for a reason, that is the companies advertised on the mouse pad have something to do with houses, so they must be real estate agencies or construction companies that build houses or something similar.



For example the house mouse pad in the picture above advertises a company that deals with house insurance. So instead of giving fliers with the contact information to the present or potential customers they thought of giving house mouse pads, as they are both useful and unusual presents for them. Besides every time the people who received the mouse pad will use it ( at least a few times a day) they will also see the name , address and phone number of the insurance company they promote.

It sticks to your mind even without knowing it and , even if you don't use that information right away, you may supply it to somebody who happens to talk about it. This particular mouse pad has a matte textured laminated surface with a  foam backing. It comes with round corners , offering the possibility to have customized printing on, including bar codes.



Then there is the second type - the one with the print of a house on a mouse pad. You may say that this is not such a big deal: a picture of a house on a mouse pad . Let me prove how far from the truth you are. First, the house may be your daughter's first drawing as a school girl and you decided that this is such a precious memory that you had it printed on one of those customizable mouse pads that you can order everywhere on the internet. This way it will always be with you in your office and you will have a new mouse pad, too. Besides, all mouse pads are cheap, even if you customize them by uploading your own photo to the web site and having it printed on the mouse pad. They usually don't cost more than $12 with shipping and all. It also has a durable cover which is dust and stain resistant. It is very steady and does not move when you are using a mouse on it and, at the same time has a non-skid backing that prevents it from slipping away.

This one is a house mouse pad, but not just any house on a mouse pad: it's the White House, I am sure you recognized it. This mouse pad can be used as advertising material for the guys belonging to a certain part that have a candidate running for the White House. After all the campaign lasts for a long time and all the people involved are pleased to be offered something to remember them of the election day. Besides, if you order it in a big number you will get a significant discount. You can order it at "zazzle"-s website



How about advertising a historical society by using a mouse pad? You can organize some meetings of several associations or maybe a congress or something like that and distribute free such mouse pads to all the people who attend it? They will consider it useful and at the same time it will remind them of the activity that was held there. In this case the historical society happens to advertise this "Carpenter log house" that was built around the year 1820 and they want to raise some money in order to preserve this house exactly as it was at the beginning and restore it with the money obtained from the sponsors. It is not giving money to charity; it's investing in history.

This is again a clear example of smart advertising, this time for a company offering personal and efficient service at home. You can find all the information necessary on this customized mouse pad and enjoy its mousing qualities every day. Besides, if you order larger quantities you may get it for only $3.29 each. If you are interested, too,  just search for it online and you will get the one you decide upon.



Last, but not least, this house mouse pad is actually a school house painted by Pam Coxwell with the reminder "Whatever you do work at it with all your heart" . It is a wonderful idea as a gift for teacher's day for all the staff in your school, starting with the teachers, educators,  principle and, why not, the secretary. If you want it to be even more specific, you can always choose to customize it and replace the word "school" in the picture with the name of your school. The mouse pad costs $12 and is made of neoprene with a rubber backing and comes packed in a protective bag. It is also temperature resistant and you can use it as a hot pad as it can support up to 400 degrees. Whatever model you may choose I am sure you make the right choice, as they are all very good and special and if you chose one of them, that means you are special, too. Didn't I just make your day a little nicer?
