Formosa Wall Calendar

First to recommend

Description

Designed by Enzo Mari in 1963, it's worth calling this calendar timeless by now. It's a little expensive, but considering that you can use it year after year, it will eventually pay itself off.

Monty Python Killer Rabbit stapler

5 people recommended this item

Description

I love the demented approach to office work thinly veiled in allusions to classic humor that this stapler conjures. This one has passive aggression written all over it, with which any long-term office worker should be well versed.
