Isn’t it great to think about going back to work? Imagine it: Searching and searching until you find a really bad
parking space, getting smashed in the elevator, wandering the maze to your cozy cubicle. It’s a good thing that your loved ones thought about the place you spend (waste?) the majority of your adult life and gave you some fun items for your desk. (And if they didn’t, go ahead and buy them for yourself.) Start at the big boy of all office toy sites, OfficePlayground.com. There is so much to pick from: to calm yourself, that familiar device where chrome steel balls suspended on strings bang against each other (with a new twist), or perhaps a mesmerizing slow-moving-liquid device, or the ever-popular tiny Zen garden. One of their popular items is the Slingshot Flying Monkey, which you can shoot through the air while it makes monkey
sounds ($3.99). The always popular ThinkGeek site has a page of geek toys for your desk that are fiendishly fun. They have cubicle playsets (there are many pieces you can buy for these playsets), the 3-piece Cubicle Alarm System (a steal at $34.99) or the popular LED Jellyfish Mood Lamp. Here’s a blog called On My Desk that features pictures of the stuff on the desks of creative, artistic and designer types (like their stuff is more interesting than our stuff). Want to get in shape while sitting at your desk? Consider the Pedal Exerciser, which lets you ride a hidden, small stationary-cycle type device for $40. Surprise.com has fun stuff for every occasion, and there’s a category for office toys, too. If all you want is something funny to say to your buddies when you get to work, check out the list of “5 Best Things to Say When Caught Sleeping at Your Desk.”
