With these gadgets and must-haves, you'll have everyone in the office wondering how so much win could possibly come from one person! Be the awesome you want your office to be.
1. Solar USB charger

This handy little doodad is a battery that draws its charge from solar energy. From there, it recharges any of your USB-chargable devices: cell phones, tablets, etc. Perfect for individuals in need of a spare charge from time to time.
2. Desktop punching ball

Look at all that stress pent up inside of you. *Tsk, tsk* Such a shame. It's unhealthy, you know, all that stress. Solution? Desktop punching ball. Basically, you form a fist, then you use momentum to CRUSH IT up against that ball. Ahhh... all better now!
3. Silent mouse

Apparently, creating a mouse with no clicking sound has proven to be quite a challenge... until now. Never again will your boss hear you frantically minimizing a gazillion windows as they try to make it from your door/cube entrance to your monitor as fast as they can. You'll be all stealth, now!
4. Treadmill desk

You take a treadmill, you take a desk, you smoosh 'em together, then, BOOM: you have a treadmill desk. It's self-explanatory, really. And if you've seen all the studies lately talking about how sitting around all day is slowly sapping away precious years from your total lifespan, then you may well want to consider owning one!
5. Digital smart pen

This is one of the most awesome gadgets I've seen for people who find themselves writing a lot; especially in the context of writing during a meeting or presentation. You can not only record audio, but the pen will convert your writing to digital format so you can load it on a computer. Then, when you want to go to a certain point in your recorded conversation, you simply select one of the words from your notes and you'll be linked up with that exact spot in your conversation. Pretty handy! (No pun intended.)
6. Monitor rear-view mirror

Tired of your coworkers turning around and judging you for the very same thing they also do: browsing the Web, etc.? And what about those extra-special coworkers who take it one step farther and throw you under the bus behind your back, to your boss? Yeah, I've worked with those types of people before. Do yourself a favor and pop one or two of these puppies on your monitor. You'll be glad you did.
7. Self-stirring mug

No spoon? No problem! The self-stirring mug has you covered. But if you're of the type who is always spoon-ready, then at least you can watch your drink turn into a whirlpool as you try to stick your finger in as far as you can without touching the swirling brew. Because who WOULDN'T want to do that!?
8. Perpetual calendar
 |

If you like physical calendars that are sure to draw attention, then stop spending your money buying the cute kitten calendars year-after-year and start considering this masterpiece: an elegantly-designed calendar that's filled with magic (see: magnets and metal). One of these would compliment a Newton's cradle quite nicely, no?
9. Wireless key-finder
 |

Do you lose track of your keys often? Even if it's only happened to you a couple of times, there's not much worse than running late for work and not being able to track your keys down. Thankfully, people make things like this: a wireless doohickey that lets you quickly track down whatever you have it attached to (keys, badge, phone, wallet, ferret, etc.). Simple solution.
10. Newton's cradle (awesomeness edition)
 |
| Newton's cradle |
This product isn't actually called "awesomeness edition;" I'm naming it that, because, well, it's an awesome take on a classic desktop toy that never gets old. Everyone's seen one, but few are the people who will ever see this one! Be the one that shows it to them...
11. Mobile desk
 |
| Mobile desk |
If the treadmill desk is a bit too much "going nowhere really fast" for you, then maybe the mobile desk is a bit more up your alley. It's especially perfect for annoying coworkers who constantly have something on their monitor that they want everyone to see. Now, they'll have to go to YOU! Then again, maybe that's not such a great thing after all. Either way, if this suits you and you had no idea such a thing existed, then you can show your thanks by sharing this gallery with everyone you know and telling them how cool of a site ZDNet is! Deal? Deal.
12. BS button
 |
| BS button |
How many times has your boss given you a totally meaningless task and, when they left, you quite audibly noted, "THIS IS SOME BULLLLLL$#*&"? Well, now, you can have a button to declare that very sentiment for you! And it's a little more fun this way, too, thanks to the bit of physicality involved with smacking the button. Combine this with the desktop punching ball to level-up and gain +1 frustration relief.
