10 Must-Have Office Toys

With 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 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 - $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 - $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 - $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.


The 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.



Finger Drums - $24.99
Giving up on your dream of rock stardom for a career with a steady paycheck doesn't mean you shouldn't keep your musical chops in shape. This set of Finger Drums lets you rock out whenever the urge might strike. Since they're so tiny and you don't need drumsticks you can easily hide the evidence if necessary.



Rubber Band Gatling Gun - $499.00
Rubber band guns and office life are as inseparable as Lindsay Lohan and controversy. Sooner or later it's going to happen so you might as well be proactive. The Rubber Band Gatling Gun is the office warfare equivalent of a weapon of mass destruction. It holds up to 100 standard size bands and shoots as fast as you crank. The IT guy will never know what hit him.


My Mini Golf - $299.95
If you're a non-exec, squeezing in the back nine - or any amount of golf for that matter - while "at the office" is impossible. Put that unused conference room to good use with My Mini Golf. This complete mini golf set comes with obstacles, clubs, balls, and a carrying case. Now you get to golf on the clock too - even if it is only your short game.


Mini Spring Rim Basketball Hoop - $49.95

You're already using rolled up balls of paper and a garbage can to play basketball. Why not upgrade to a set with an NBA style clear backboard and spring rim. Dunking in real life will probably never happen, but dunking on your boss takes some of the pain away.


USB RC Mini Car - $29.99
Using your computer to drive a car isn't just for Sci-Fi movies anymore. With the USB RC Mini Car you can finally use your work computer for something other than TPS reports. Use it to pass notes, annoy your co-workers, or just stage a coup on no fun at the office.
