Do you want to be the most awesome person at your office? Well, it's as easy as grabbing a few of these amazing desk toys that will surely bring a crowd to your desk.

Crookes Radiometer

The vanes inside the sweet radiometer rotate when they are in contact with any form of light. It doesn’t hurt that it looks like a thousand dollar piece of art too.

USB Typewriter

What better way to connect with those older employees who hate technology. This USB typewriter will give you an old school feel while staying on top of those reports.

Portable Beach

You might be out of vacation days, but you can still visit the beach with this gadget. Don’t get lost in your imagination though, or you might be on a permanent vacation from work.

Desk Bowling Alley

If you happen to have four feet to spare on your desk, why not put some work in on the lanes. 

Spy Scope

It might just look like a decorative piece for your desk, but it is a functioning spy telescope. Never miss out on doughnuts in the break room again!

Da Vinci Trebuchet

This little device lets you lob a soft clay ball at that annoying co-worker next to you, or it can be used as a conversation piece — but that’s not as fun.

Office Guest Book

There’s no better way to secretly get the number of your work crush. Just have them sign the guest book next time they need to visit your desk.

Desktop Prism

Dazzle everyone in the office with this beautiful prism, just don’t shine it in someones eyes. *wink wink*

Helicone

What might look like abstract art, is really an amazing helicopter toy. Twist the brass rod a few times and watch the laser-cut wood pieces start to swirl.

Floating Globe

Show everyone at work that you know all about the world and that you have the power to make it float.

Playable Art Ball

Who doesn’t love bright and colorful balls? Maybe you can distract your boss with these long enough that he forgets about you missed that mandatory meeting.

Virtual Keyboard

Shock every co-worker that’s over the age 50 with this virtual keyboard. Plus it leaves more room on your desk for other fun toys!

Perpetual Motion Machine

This perpetual motion machine is powered by the sun. So it works from sun up to sun down, kinda like you do.

Kinetic Compass

This stunning sculpture not only is a conversation piece, it’s a functioning compass as well.

Melting Clock

If you ever feel like your life is slowly melting away while you are stuck at your desk, this clock is for you. Or you could just be a fan of Salvador Dali, either way it works!
