There are occasions when the environment you work in needs a little fun injection. Even if you work in the funkiest of office like Google and Pixar you still get used to your surroundings. They may have thing like slides, games rooms and chill out rooms.

You can achieve the same  fun effect by adding some relatively inexpensive fun items. By adding something  new a fun to your desk you too can inject the fun into your office environment.  This should help reduce stress levels and allow for a bit of harmless tom foolery.

There a numerous toys and  gadgets which will provide the perfect entertainment for you and your colleagues  these are some of my favourites:

USB Cup Warmer

How many times have  you gone for a sip of tea or coffee and you get the unwelcome surprise that  your drink is cold. It is a nasty experience and one that will be banished for  good with this wonderful device.

  

As an added bonus most cup warmers will also  serve as a usb hub so you connect even more devices to your PC. Lovely!

Whack It
If you have been to the  seaside within the last 20 years then the chances are you would have seen a whack  it game. What better way to relive the stress from a meeting that didn’t go to  plan than a quick round of whack it. Gets rid of any pent up frustration and  will enable you to return to normal duties.

USB Missile Launcher

Instant satisfaction,Top 5 Funky Office Toys Articles revenge has been dealt. Soon you will gain  added respect, well until they out fire power you, that is. Let the fun begin.

Riff Rocker

Inside most of us is a  rock guitarist trying to make an appearance. Make it easy on yourself and show  your colleagues that it could be you playing at the main stage at Glastonbury next  year. Even better buy two and then you have a guitar duel. The workplaces will  never by the same again. Let there be rock.

USB Touch Drums Set
The perfect accompaniment to the riff rocker,  however it also great on its own. This little drum kit will  help you focus the mind when you are having  some writers block.
