USB Whack it

Updated Jul 23, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

It's not exactly whack-a-mole, but it does look like a fun way to kill time at the office. I can just see myself taking sales calls while whacking away.

Zoo Animal Rubber Bands

Updated Jun 25, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

They're too cute to use, but I want them all the same. If they made a pack of just the flamingos, it would be even better.

Updated Jun 25, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

This is organized, but still a little messy. I love it.

I also love that it's made out of remnant steel scraps.

Pouch Tea Mug

Updated Jun 11, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

This is a very sweet little mug for coffee or tea. I like that you don't have to dirty up a saucer when you use it.

Yoga Toes Toe Stretchers

Updated Feb 21, 2008

4 people recommended this item

Description

I recently bought Yoga Toes as a gift for a friend and she has called me at least 3 times to thank me already. While I'm lucky enough to wear sneakers to work, she wears heels all day and says that Yoga Toes work miracles on her poor tortured feet.

1st to recommend

Description

If you want to get a co-worker fired, just give him/her one of these. They'll waste away their days playing finger drums until the boss figures it out and cans them. (via Vat19)

Antworks Illuminated Combo

Updated Feb 13, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

If you can't have pets, you can still get away with having your own miniature ant society. Don't put one on your desk, though, or you'll never get anything done. I find myself deferring to the colony for all my important decisions these days. (via Vat19)

USB Plasma Ball: Harness the power of plasma via any computer's USB port.

Updated Nov 1, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

Every desk needs to have something to play with when you're "thinking" about tasks at hand. Imagine how many hours you can waste by touching the ball in different locations to get different effects, talking with you co-workers about how cool it is, and maybe even convincing the UPS guy that you're a fortune teller in your off hours...

USB Rocket Launcher

Updated Jul 24, 2007

7 people recommended this item

Description

Yes, it's just a $35 toy. If you work a desk job, though, you probably need toys more than you think. I know I do. There's just something refreshing about looking away from the monitor for a few moments to indulge in some childish fun. (via Missile Launcher Video)

This clock just has that cool, retro feel like it belongs in an old detective movie or something. It's also a fun gift for the airplane lovers in your life - they can actually put this on their desk at work without fear of mockery. (via Vat19)

Recycled Floppy Disc Journal

Updated Jul 10, 2007

3 people recommended this item

Description

I could probably make one of these on my own if I'd just spend a few moments digging through the garage for my old disks, but who knows - I may need those someday!! I'm just waiting for the old 5.25" disks to come back into fashion.

If you're in your 20s or early 30s, you probably played computer games on these as a child. (via Vat19)
