Desk Toys: There’s More to Them Than Meets The Eye

Have you seen those colorful, funny little G.I. Joe, The Matrix, Naruto, Lara Croft, Star Wars, Start Trek, “See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil” and other similar action figurines perched atop some office monitors? How about those colorful, funny little, mostly ball-shaped, foam-like things strewn around the computer user’s desk, especially near the keyboard? And those functional things, like memo clips masquerading as dentures or ears, pencil sharpeners disguised as noses, paper clips looking like colorful emoticons and other computer characters, as well as dog- or cat-shaped staplers, not to mention those bendable flashlight holders affectionately called “Flashlite Friends”? And how about those fancy pens, like the Syringe Pen and other cute ones? And, who says in the office you can’t build a snowman?

By and large, we call all of them desk toys, but most often, we usually take them for granted or pay little attention to them because, as their general name implies, they’re just toys! Little do we know, however, that they play a huge part in maintaining the emotional well-being of their owners (that is, the people who occupy those desks), or those people who are around them, as well as those who visit them.

If they are not really toys as we know them, what then are desk toys and what are they for? Consider these facts, for example: Not only do those colorful, funny little action figurines perched around your monitors offer attractive eye candy, they also act as pleasant sights on which you could shift the focus of your tired, strained eyes away from those deadening formulas and numbers in your Excel worksheet! Also, notice how your visitors react to them? Those same colorful, funny little action figurines immediately disarm nervous, first-time visitors and sometimes even serve as a starting point of friendly conversations thereby speeding up the breaking-the-ice process between you and your first-time visitor.

Having fun desk toys on your cubicle also sends the message that you, the owner of the cubicle, is human, after all, or you have a comic side that can make the visitor immediately feel at home, and thereby gives your company’s customer relations’ efforts a huge boost! Most often that not, those who own these fun desk toys periodically re-arrange their action figures or add new ones, especially if a nice, new movie such as Transformers, Ninja Assasin, etc. comes along to simply leverage the calming or ice-breaking effect that these so-called action figures offer.

Desk toys come also in the form of stress-relieving stress toys and balls that ease those stressful moments at the office – or even in your own home office. These colorful, foam-like things make it so much easier for you to vent your anger out - just squeeze one or two or several of them to your heart’s content or disfigure them or throw and smash them to the wall. These toys are so squeezable because they are made of soft foam, and they are so soft and won’t cause damage to your other things even when thrown with force. Instead of taking your anger out on your computer or your cubicle’s wall or worse, your co-worker or boss, take it out on those hapless little foamy things, and then replace the ones that were damaged when you’re done with your anger, or on better days.

Now, aren’t these real good reasons why you should have those desk toys on your office desk?

Arkansas Razorbacks Rooftop Santa Figurine $39.95 Enjoy this item featuring the NCAA Arkansas Razorbacks. The perfect gift for any Arkansas Razorbacks fan!It is no secret that Santa can only be seen by true believers, and that’s why he is always visible to children. They hear the clatter of tiny hooves and leave cookies and milk by the tree! The fan was a believer, too. He believed that his team was the best in its conference - maybe in any conference! The fan wanted the whole world to know how loyal he was, so he decided to add a special decoration: a huge banner to hang from the roof. The lights would illuminate it for miles around, and his excitement grew as he prepared to complete the task. With banner trailing behind him, the fan climbed the ladder. As he reached the roof, the fan stopped climbing and stared in disbelief! Standing before him was Santa and a sleigh filled with gifts - only Santa wasn’t wearing his customary suit: he was wearing team colors and the gifts in his bag were all team related! “Shush!� said Santa. “This is our little secret! You see, I’m a fan, too! Let me help you with the banner.� The fan was sure no one would ever believe him anyway, and each time he looked at the banner, he smiled.This beautiful figurine features Santa on a rooftop with your team's colors.
