She lugs that laptop wherever she goes, which is why she should treat her number one accessory with the respect it deserves. Even if she seems equally attached to that not-so-stylish but fully functional case that came with it, there's always room in her working life for something more bold and beautiful.

We've seen lots of well-made, lovely-looking laptop cases and compartments out there, but nothing dazzles and protects as well as the Luxe Funk-tional Compartments by Melissa Beth Designs. Made of satin brocade on the outside and available in magenta, apple green and licorice with matching inside lining, this is one case that screams, "I am woman, hear me purr…"

For a splurge check out the MBD laptop cases or add some computer accessories (earphones, speakers) to round out the gift.
