Not every office can install rock walls, billiards tables, and fitness centers, so keep yourself motivated and refreshed with these fun and inspirational office accessories.
Office Express
Arrma 1/8 Typhon 6SWhen you need to send a note to a coworker, the radio-controlled Typhon is much more fun than a boring email. Clip a memo to the wing and use the steering wheel-equipped controller to zoom it down the hall at speeds up to 45 miles per hour, screeching into their workspace. The off-road tires and oil-filled suspension let it climb over any office obstacles in its path. You can operate three at a time for office races.
Break-Time Keyboard
Logitech K580 Multi-Device Keyboard
It’s best to keep personal email and internet browsing private, without using office computers. Tablets and phones are great ways to access emails and websites during breaks, but this multifunctional keyboard makes doing so even easier. Just under 15 inches long and weighing a scant 19.7 ounces with two AA batteries in place, it can be tucked into a briefcase or backpack. The Bluetooth system can be used with phones and tablets or as a backup computer keyboard.
Toss Ideas Around
Basketball Hoop Garbage BinA basketball wastebasket is a must-have for any office; it transforms disposing of memos and lunch menus into a sport, as you pretend to be an NBA superstar making one-handed shots from across the room. At 17.3 inches tall with a backboard that’s 11.8 inches wide, it provides a way to concentrate on making the shot that can free up mental logjams about how to move a project forward or resolve serious cases of writer’s block.
Pedal-Powered Inspiration
Xdesk Velo Bicycle DeskTaking a break for a walk or a quick bicycle ride can be an effective way to help refocus on a work project, but it’s not always practical to do so, especially if it’s raining or snowing outside, or you’re on a tight deadline. This system allows you to ride while you work or take a break, letting you focus on how far and how fast you’ve gone, which might in turn inspire the solution to your work problem.
A Puzzling Creativity Booster
Jack PuzzleThere are times when the best way to get a “stuck” project back on track is to take a mental break, focusing on something completely unrelated to the task at hand. This attractive brass paperweight resembles intertwined jacks, functions as a brain teaser, and might be the perfect solution. Comprising six notched bars that come apart easily, it can be a bit of a challenge to reassemble.
