10 Must-Have Office Toys

CoolMaterialsDeskToyPOV.jpgWith people spending more and more time at the office, there’s less time
for play. Keeping your sanity is just as important as your
productivity, so put some fun back into your work day with our top 10
office toys. Who said you can’t mix business with pleasure?

executive-elite-marshmellow-blaster.jpgExecutive Elite Marshmallow Blaster – $49.95
Rubber bands are the weapon of choice for most cubicle warfare because they’re so readily available. When office supplies start disappearing the company is going to get wise and you’re going to have to switch it up. The pump-action Executive Elite Marshmallow Blaster has a 40ft range and an included briefcase in case the hit involves travelling. Yeah, you’re packing treats.


mini-bowling-set.jpgMini Bowling Set - $34.95
Bowling with people you work with is an inevitability. If you don’t want to relive the awkwardness of the last company party, keep the alcohol out of it and just bowl at the office with a rubber ball and plastic pins. Or get some liquor and make a night out of it. With the bosses approval of course…

Buckyballs.jpgBuckyballs - $29.95
Decorating your desk is the best way to brighten up being shackled to your desk for at least eight hours a day. Instead of going the usual route (cats, kids, vacation pictures) pick up a set of Buckyballs and unleash the cubicle DaVinci locked inside. With 216 rare earth magnets in each set, the sky is the limit for what you can make.

MiLi-iPhone-Projector.jpgMiLi iPhone Projector – $359.99
The iPhone used to be the coolest thing on the block, but just like boy bands and hair metal it became so commonplace that it wasn’t all that exciting anymore. The MiLi iPhone Projector is the iPhone’s ticket back to relevance and your ticket to becoming the life of the office party. Dock your iPhone (it works with composite and VGA too) and display any video up to 70″ wide on whatever surface you want.

Webble.jpgThe Webble - $149.95
The Webble is essentially half skateboard and half footrest. The four smooth gliding casters on the underside are combined with a spring suspension to keep you comfortable while giving you full range of motion. The locking mechanism prevents the mail boy from actually skating away with it. It’s the most fun you can have under your desk with HR’s approval.
