Office Toys for the Girls and Boys
As we stagger towards the Christmas season, where it is better to give than to receive, (but you feel pretty peeved if your own reception is a bit poor) it’s often difficult (or frankly just too boring to bother) choosing a gift that will really, really be appreciated. Not just the grudging “thanks” through gritted teeth for yet another tie, pair of socks, jumper or equally crap novelty Xmas gizmo, but a real, heartfelt “ bloody hell – that’s fantastic!”.
But which Christmas gifts do you get to evoke that response? Well, since the office is where most of us seem to spend our lives passing the time and praying for those tedious hours in front of the PC to end or if you’ve just finished yet another time management course that overran, why not invest in gadgets such as the brilliantly named Lifetimer, possibly the most interesting and interactive clock ever invented. It lets you keep track of the important things in life, like the amount of time left until your next holiday, your next tea break, your birthday, the time you knock off work, even the last time you had sex – with another person!It’s fantastic how much time you can waste simply by pressing buttons to see how much time you’re wasting.
If that sounds too much like boys toys and you want something jest a little bit more useful for the girls, who as we all know are far more organised and efficient, then try something called Dead Fred.Fred shows you care, have a really warped sense of humour yet are practical at the same time – all personality attributes that are bound to make you irresistible to women!
Fred is the solution to the fact that pens appear to have legs and proves that you can put a pen down and stop it walking away.He’s made from soft silicone rubber, lies prostrate on the desk and makes a very natty home for your pen – and it doesn’t go where you’re thinking!It thrusts deep into his rubbery chest where it remains until withdrawn – another reason it’s bound to be a hit with the girls!
