Here is a more practical gift idea than what I usually put up here. Perhaps it’s because I’m at my desk, which happens to magically gain clutter over time. It’s crazy how it happens!
Do you know somebody like me? Maybe if I had some of these desk organizers this auto-clutter feature of my desk would turn off. Hmm, maybe I’ll get some for myself because they’re half price right now. Woo!
They are made of faux (yes, fake) leather and come in red, black, or brown. The size is 6″ x 6.25″ x 12″ so there is ample room for paper and big envelopes and what not.

Cards are a key element of gift giving. These particular cards are designed with corporate birthdays in mind. It’s a nice design that fits any style birthday.
These cards are personalizable, which I don’t think is a word, but I’m going to use it anyway. Why not stock up on birthday cards anyway? See, I say that because the minimum order for these cards is 25. That may be a bit much for the casual gift-giver, but for a company with hundreds of employees, this makes it nice and easy to distribute good wishes on those many special days.

Just what everybody needs at work, a panic button! Slap this puppy on your keyboard and have some fun with your fellow employees.
The button doesn’t do anything of course, and I’m not sure if it even depresses at all, but boy it sure looks good! One tip in the comments on the product’s page is that it’s not too great of an idea to put it on a laptop computer…it won’t shut thereafter.
Need to get a cheap gift for everybody in the office? Give them a bag of panic buttons!

Typically I blog about gift ideas that are less expensive, and maybe more reasonable to get people for gifts. On occasion I’ll throw in a nice triple-digit gift idea. Not today my good reader friends, today, we’re going all out. This is the most expensive Rolex I could find. In fact, it’s so expensive, that at the time of this post, the savings on the sale price is almost $1,000.
So, with that intro, I present to you the Men’s Invicta Lupah Pave Diamond Watch with Champagne Dial. I could stop there, because it’s a Rolex, and really, that’s good enough, but I won’t. This watch has over 450 diamonds; 451 to be exact. Another part of it, and I’m not sure what it is, is the Globule Crown and Pushers. Maybe that’s the name of the style of knobs it has there on the side. I’m not sure, but they look pretty awesome.
That’s all. I’ve never seen a Rolex in person, but maybe one day.

Now this is a gift basket! Just look at it, it’s glorious…and delightful. It makes for the perfect corporate gift basket around the holidays. The food that it comes packed with is just right. Ready for the list? Here tis:
- 10 oz. Aged Cheddar
- 5 oz. of Edam
- Two flavors of All-Beef Sausage; Original and Salami
- 4 oz. of Spinzel Pretzels
- Two Flavors of Mustard; Sweet ‘N Hot and Cajun
- Pepper Cheese Spread
- Wheat Wafers
Now is that a list or what? All the sausage, cheese, and crackers you could want. It’s really quite affordable as well at around 35 bucks. I guess it’s not an abundance of food, seeing how the basket is 10½” wide, but that way each department of a company can get one, alright!
Once you click over to the site, make sure to snoop around a bit. They’ve got all kinds of gift baskets over there, lots of great stuff.
Cheese it up here.
A ball of whacks, get it? Not only is this a neat red ball shaped thing, it comes with a 90 page guide book. So what exactly is it? It’s a 30-sided rhombic triacontahedron. What can you do with a 30-sided rhombic triacontahedron? Just about anything!
Well, it probably won’t make you lunch or tie your shoes, but it can shape shift with the best of them. Now, the reason this is in the corporate gift category is because this ball of whacks stimulated the creative right side of the brain. Pretty good excuse for playing around with something in the office huh? Not unlike some other things I’ve blogged about on here, the individual pieces are magnetic, which is always a bonus.
Just think of the magnetic origami that could be created with these. And if you also got the Magz Construction Set, you could make quite the magnetic wonderland.

Know somebody who loves to be fully hydrated but is just too busy to ever make it over to the water cooler? Why not bring the water to them? Of course, they could pull a Dwight and just drag the cooler over by their desk so they can catch up on all the scuttlebutt.
Now, the best part about this is that the desk resident can, as they say, think outside the box. Why just stick with water? It can be filled with any liquid really. Apple juice (the first load may not last quick as co-workers may think it’s beer), a tasty carbonated beverage, or my favorite, milk. One small problem with non-water beverages is that the dispenser is just a dispenser: no cooling power is included. So maybe it would be a great syrup dispenser, gotta love the syrup!
It’s less than 2 feet tall and holds a gallon of anything you can fit in there. No guarantees that it’ll dispense something like soup without getting clogged however. I’d probably just stick to water. Might want to remind the recipient of the gift that it isn’t self cleaning…just in case.

Here’s a gift that I have received before, and I must tell you, it was one of the greatest gifts I’ve got in a good while. It’s a Bluetooth handset that looks like a toy. It’s a great way to make people think you have finally gone off the deep end.
The one I have is the corded version, which you can get here. That one comes with different connections for specific cell phones. It’s a great move to walk into a room while actually having a conversation on this thing. People will look a little weird at you at first, then give a courtesy laugh, thinking you are just using a toy a little too convincingly. Then comes the fun part. Tell whoever you’re talking to to hold on, then hand the handset to the unsuspecting observer. Chances are they’ll at least try to make you feel good by going along with it, then when they hear someone respond to them, sit back and enjoy the shock in their eyes.
I don’t have a Bluetooth cell phone, but I can imagine it’s even more shocking when there is no chord attached. I think this is a great gift idea for that special someone who feels they must always have that earpiece clinging to the side of their head, whether they’re using it or not.
Kick it old school here.
These things look pretty awesome in action. There’s nothing quite like the sight of a little hunk of real wood sticking out of the back or side of a computer. Each one of these USB flash memory sticks is a one of a kind real piece of wood.
It’s a great mix of technology with back woods style. Passers by may think that someone walked by with a stick and crammed it into the side of your laptop. They have 1 gigabyte of storage, so they’re decent sized drives. Just enough to transfer those work documents and maybe a few songs between the home and office.
I’m not sure if these come with a cap for the USB connector. Either way, if they do or not, the recipient of this one-of-a-kind gift idea may want to be careful about leaving this lying around where trash may be picked up. There is an extension USB cord that can be purchased at the site at well. Imagine how crazy someone would look with a cord leading from their computer to a little stick. I love it!
Stick it to technology here.
If you’re like me, many times you’ve found yourself saying “If only there was something that let me set fire to things and store my files at the same time.” Doesn’t sound like something you’ve said? Well maybe someone you know wishes for just that. If so, this is the perfect weird and unique gift idea!
So what is this thing? Well, it’s a lighter/USB drive combo. It’s a swell idea I suppose. I imagine it would mostly come in handy for those who tend to prefer the smoke inhalation, but hey, who doesn’t like setting things on fire?
The Memlite comes in six colors (at the time of posting, I imagine there may be more later on), and four different sizes, from 512 mb to 4 gb. I’m not sure how that’s possible, since the picture makes the USB part look pretty small, but all I know is that the largest one is 4 gb, which is pretty sweet.
Warning: The site has some somewhat loud music, but it can be turned off. The place to turn it off is near the bottom right of the image; it’s the little vertical bars moving up and down. Also, I’ve managed to have the page freak out on me and just keep loading, blasting the music. If that happens, close the window and try again. So go look at the Memlite.
