By Jennifer Kyrnin, About.com

Sometimes when you're working you'll need a reference to how to write a script or that special character code eludes you or perhaps you just want to get the hex code for the perfect color for your page. These tools will help you create better Web sites.

1. Web Designer's Mousepads

These mousepads are just beautiful. I have the hex one, and I almost don't like to use it with my mouse. It is more decoration than anything else, but it is functional both as a mouse pad and as a color chart.

2. Web Developer Laminated Reference Set

If you're looking for the one-stop-shop of Web development references, this laminated card set is perfect. It offers all different types of Web design tools, from tag references to JavaScript references, special characters and much more.

3. Web Color Kilochart Poster

This poster is gorgeous. And it has over 1000 color codes on it, so if you can't find the color that you want to use on your site, well, you're just not trying. Every designer should have this poster in his or her office.

4. Web Designers Color Poster

This color chart shows all the Web colors in hue groupings to make it easier to make informed decisions about the colors you choose.

5. USB Webcam

What's the point of a Webcam if it can't go with you? This small USB camera lets you take your Web cam show on the road.
