Gboard

As if Gmail didn't already have enough options and features, now you can have even one more Gmail accessory: the Gboard.

The multi-colored mini-keyboard is specially made for use with Google's Gmail email service, and, at $19.99, makes a cheap present for the email-addicts on your list.

As CNET explains, the Gboard comes with 19 keys that are each action-specific, set up to perform Gmail's keyboard shortcuts.

The Gboard consists of 19 colored keys set in a standard size numpad-only keyboard. Clicking on any one of these performs that particular keyboard shortcut. Included are Gmail-specific features such as starring messages, starting a search, and jumping between message threads. Outside of Gmail they simply act as normal keyboard buttons, and will type in whatever letter or number corresponds with that shortcut.

Mashable has a full review of the Gboard, which, it writes, "impressed."
