I have a few nifty Widgets I use fairly frequently and a few not so often.
Every once in a while I come across a great Widget. Sometimes other people point me to a great Widget.
How about other Mac users here on ExPo?
Maybe you can share what you have found.

Here are a few of my Widgets:

Easy Envelopes (http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/business/easyenvelopes.html)
Translation (by Systran) Not sure where this went...can't find it on Apple's website.
Easy Currency (http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/calculate_convert/easycurrency.html) a nice currency converter.
Movies (Fandango?) another one I can't locate on the website.
Character Pal (http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/reference/characterpal.html) a reference for all those crazy keyboard characters like: ˚ å ®
Clear Sky Clock (http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/information/clearskyclock.html) (an astronomy application)


So...what other cool Widgets are people using?

Besides the standard Calculator and iCal widgets, the one I use most often is iStat Pro (http://islayer.com/index.php?op=item&id=7) to monitor the computer. Unit conversion is a common chore but I find that Google is usually easier than the widgets I have tried. And then there are the entertainment widgets which I won't list to protect the innocent.
