Gifts For Office Freaks

St. Louis Cardinals Office Chair

This Beast is Gorgeous

by Joi

St Louis Cardinals Office Chair

Yes, please, I’ll take two. The St. Louis Cardinals Leather Office Chair has me wanting to Christmas shop for only one person – me, me, me!

My beloved Cardinals have made it far in the playoffs, and after a year of epic and creative injuries and set backs – that’s nothing short of phenomenal. Even when it looked like their season would end pre-playoffs, I was proud of my guys. They just grinded it out and it’s been one of the funnest baseball seasons I can remember. They play tonight, as a matter of fact, so if you’ll excuse me, I’ll finish this post and begin my pre-game routine of fixing game-time snacks and pacing frantically in circles while talking a mile a minute.

Drives my cat nuts.

See St. Louis Cardinals Leather Office Chair for more information about this gorgeous chair. There are other teams available as well.

Desktop Aquarium

Holy Nemo, I never knew such a thing existed. I am completely in love with this Fascinations USB Desktop Aquarium (available on Amazon).

I can think of few things that are as relaxing as aquariums… or as beautiful. Creating an aquarium that’s office and desk friendly is beyond brilliant.

  • The LCD alarm clock features time, date, temperature, snooze, countdown timer and 6 different modes of tranquil nature sounds for that zen moment anytime

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The USB Desktop Aquarium is great for home, dorm or office and is the perfect size for any desk. Water recirculates providing oxygen for your fish while color changing LEDs provide a captivating display. The multi-function alarm clock and desk caddy make this unique aquarium practical and fun.

What a great gift this would make! AFTER grabbing one for yourself, of course – looking out for number one and all that.

Check him out. The little Office Freak is headed to the office, coffee in tow. Personally, I’d have put the coffee inside with me and the briefcase on top. If I have to lose something, I’d rather take my chances with the briefcase than my java. This guy pretty much messed up, but who am I to judge..

Great Gift for Co-Workers in the Office

After You Grab One for Yourself, Of Course

by Joi

The Newton’s Cradle- Colors May Vary, above, is a perfect gift for office workers – even if the office worker is yourself.

There’s just something utterly relaxing about playing with Newton’s Cradle and the wooden base in this particular on makes it even sturdier than most. Not only is it a great stress buster, let’s face it.. it looks good to have “stress relieving” office supplies in your office. People automatically assume you’re a big shot.

I think I’ll get two.

Fun Office Supplies Make the Office Bearable

Even on Dark, Dank, Difficult Monday

by Joi

Unusual Office Supplies: paperclip holder

Fun, unique, and unusual office supplies are popular for a good reason. They slap a smile on even the vilest of days.  When you think about it, most offices could use a lot of slapping, so surrounding yourself with fun office supplies is pure genius.

I particularly love the guy above. He’s the Tech Tools Desktop Madness Series Paper Clip Magnet Stand with Paper Weight (HS-8030).  The thing is, I can’t tell if he’s in agony, crying out to the Heavens for mercy or if he’s celebrating some particularly great feat.  Just when I think he’s succumbing to a nasty Monday, I look at him and he kind of seems to be like, “YAY, ME!!! I AM THE SHIZZ SUPREME!”

Either way, we can all identify with whichever moment he’s having.

Uh oh. I just looked at the larger image on Amazon and I think I see a tear on his cheek.  Poor guy. It’s a Monday.

Cool Little Solar Lamp

From Useful Things.com

by Joi

Solar Lamp

I was recently sent a really cool little solar lamp from Useful Things.com to review for the site.  Given my love for the fun, the quirky, and the whimsical,  I love Useful Things.  I remember once, one of my daughters (Brittany) was walking through the house with boyfriend # 3 (aka Justin).   She pointed to my stuffed hillbilly rooster with one hand and a totally crazy calendar with the other and said, “That’s my mom.”  # 3 became an all-time favorite when he said, “I love those!”

I miss him.  I miss #1, too.  But #4?  Sociopath.

Sidetracked. Back to my super cool solar lamp.  Due to its small size, this lamp is perfect for small areas such as nightstands and desks. It’s also perfect as a nightlight, as long as you (or your child) likes quite a bit of light.  You couldn’t ask for a safer nightlight – even if you fall asleep with the light on, not a big deal. Speaking of children, I have to say I LOVE the thought of having such a safe lamp around kids – no outlet required.  Even #4 couldn’t hurt himself or others with this lamp.

This little solar lamp would also be perfect for the mobile office – it’d light up an otherwise dark car without breaking a sweat.  You could even sit at a picnic table with your solar lamp and work.  I have no idea why you’d be sitting at a picnic table at night working, but I’m not here to judge.

I was honestly really surprised at how much light this solar lamp puts off.  I’ve always wanted to try a solar lamp but never got around to it.  You know my fascination and obsession with lamps – I guess part of me just doubted that a solar lamp could put off enough light.  I’ll admit it, I was completely wrong.

This compact solar lamps only measures in at 7.75″ in height and 3.75″ in diameter, yet you’d never know it by the amount of light given off.  You simply “charge” the lamp with about 8 hours of sunlight, then turn it on when you’re ready for it to light up your world – or at least your corner of the room.

A solar panel on top of the lamp keeps the lithium battery charged for hours at a time. The light bulb is a portable LED lamp bulb for extra energy efficiency.  You can choose between blue or clear.

Click the link for more information.  I gotta tell you, I love my solar lamp.  Grab one for yourself and you’ll be good to glow.  Good to glow? Get it?  Ha! Ha?

Well, #3 would’ve liked it.

Thaddeus the Troll Wants to Sit on Your Desk

How Can You Say No to This Face?!?

by Joi

Desktop Accessories: Goblin

Um. Yes, please.

This handsome, winsome, and delightfully charming little guy is the Desktop Gothic Goblins: Thaddeus the Troll from Design Toscano.

Earlier today, I left a comment on an other blog vowing my love for the extraordinary, the different, the eclectic, and the off-beat. I claimed that the more outrageous and unexpected something was, the more I felt drawn to it.  I love things that people can’t walk past – things that stop them in their tracks.  And if it’s something that makes someone say, “Why do you have that?” to which I can answer, “Because I can” – all the better!

As I was browsing desktop statues and accessories a few minutes ago, the proof of my words materialized in the form of a troll. Don’t you love it when that happens?

From the Website:

Desktop Gothic Goblins: Thaddeus the Troll
By artist Mark Noah
Open wide and say “ahhhhh” along with our prankster pair! Though our Toscano exclusives claim to scare away evil computer viruses, they actually spend more time collecting loose change, paper clips or jewelry in their wide-open mouths. Our designer resin additions for desk or dresser are finely hand-painted to showcase everything from teeth to tonsils and are fun-filled gifts for collectors or anyone with a sense of humor.

Each approx. 5″Wx4½”Dx4″H. 1 lb.

Click here for a closer look, but unless your mother is as completely offbeat as I am, I wouldn’t grab Thaddeus for a Mother’s Day gift…. although the look on said mother’s face might prove worth it. Hehehehehe.
