As a history buff, I’m fascinated by the Desk-Sized Catapult shown here. As someone who jumps out of bed each morning, hoping to be distracted by as many shiny things as possible, I’m head over heels in love with it.
From Design Toscano:
Our collectible is a detailed replica of an intriguing medieval machine. The authentic foundry iron construction with moving parts includes a fully functioning ratchet with firing action on the catapult.
The Desk-Sized Catapult would make a popular gift for other office freaks as well as a crazy cool conversation starter for your own desk. Click through for a closer look. This desk accessory isn’t just awesome, it’s full out awesome.
I’m not sure what it says about me (and not sure I want to know) but I love zombies. Zombie movies, zombie games, zombie tv shows… basically zombie everything. At least the weird infatuation is one I can have fun with.
If you share this infatuation, or know someone who does, you’ll get a kick out of the Zombie Graveyard Mobile Phone Holder shown here. It’s from a favorite website of this office supply blogand this office freak.
From Design Toscano:
Protect your phone or MP3 player from the Living Dead with this great ghoulish gift to yourself or others in danger of the Zombie Apocalypse!Artist Liam Manchester has sculpted his wonderfully gruesome zombie statue for desktop or display exclusively for Design Toscano, then cast it in quality designer resin and individually zombie-painted it to cast its hypnotizing zombie voodoo on you. 4½”Wx4″Dx7″H. 2 lbs.
Looking for unique, fun office gift ideas? The Magnetic Decision Maker, shown above, would love to throw its hat into the ring. It’s seen by many as kind of a fun desk toy and novelty office gift but for my middle daughter (Brittan) and I, it could be a sanity preserver. For whatever reasons, we are the most indecisive two people who ever lived. We LITERALLY have drawn names out of a bowl to determine where we’d eat lunch before.
Inevitably, we disagree with the first choice, then move on to the second pick. Half the time it sounds good and off we go. The other half of the time, we draw a third choice. Felling sorry for my husband and other daughters yet?

Product Description
Decision maker Is the art of management meets the science of magnetism in the pendulum decision maker.
Although it spends some time oscillating, vacillating and waffling between its six choices, the pendulum will eventually settle firmly on one.
Even if you don’t agree with its decision, you’ll be mesmerized as the pendulum mysteriously makes your mind up for you.
* Its sophisticated.
* Operates by a magnetic field.
* When you hit the ball it moves all around and stops in answer.
* Stands 9.4″ tall and bottom is 4″ around.
When it comes to decorating your home, office, or home office, the only goal I think anyone should have is this: Surround yourself with things that make you smile. Simple. Effective. Fun.
The Charlie Chaplin Wall Decal is a great place to start. He’s deliciously unexpected and delightfully random. Best of all, he makes everyone smile.

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

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

The awesome tape dispenser is from Amazon and it’s perfect for the home office, dorm, school, home or office. The cat tape dispenser isn’t the only great office supply up Amazon’s sleeve for cat lovers. Check out the adorable Kam Kam Magnetic Paper-clip Container, shown below.
Being the crazy cat lady that I am, I definitely want both of these lovelies.
You gotta hand it to them, they made an extraordinarily unusual desktop pen holder. If you love the deliciously unusual and totally unexpected, you’ll love this pen holder.
I love the concept of keeping your pens all gathered together in one place and the fact that the back is magnetic is just brilliant. Of course, the best thing it has going for it is the fact that it’s an attention grabber. Only the very, very odd would pass by this office eccentricity without taking a second or third look.

Do you think it’s a distant relative of “Thing,” ’cause I’m seeing a family resemblance…
I think everything and anything Egyptian is about to absolutely explode onto the scene. The exquisitely beautiful Angelina Jolie has been cast to portray Cleopatra in an upcoming movie, which will only add to the Egyptian craze. I noticed that when our National Geographic came in the mail yesterday, Cleopatra had earned the cover.
Another sign that ancient Egypt is gaining newfound popularity – not that it has ever gone completely out of vogue. How could anything this exotic and beautiful ever completely go out of style?
The gorgeous Egyptian Pharaoh Pen Vessel, shown above, is a perfect way to bring the exotic flair of Egypt into your home office, home, or office.

Each cold cast resin pen features the details of an ancient relic and is hand painted in the colors of the Egyptian royal palette.
These beautiful Egyptian pens are sold separately, as well, for under $7 each. Click through the link above to see each. These are BEYOND gorgeous.
