Question 1

What makes an office desk accessory 'unusual'?

Accepted Answer

An unusual desk accessory performs a recognizable function — storage, organization, timekeeping — through means that prompt a colleague to stop mid-sentence and ask what they are looking at. Utility is present; straightforwardness is not.

Question 2

Are these office products appropriate for a professional work environment?

Accepted Answer

All products in this category are suitable for use at a desk in a place of business. Whether they are appropriate is a judgment call best made after you have already placed them on your desk.

Question 3

Do unusual desk accessories make good gifts for coworkers or managers?

Accepted Answer

They are among the more thoughtful gifts you can give someone who works at a desk, because they suggest you have paid attention to the specific texture of that person's suffering. Most items in this category ship in packaging that reads as intentional.

Question 4

Will these accessories actually help me stay organized at my desk?

Accepted Answer

Several of them will, yes, and a few will do so with a rigor that standard office supply retailers have not thought to attempt. The remainder will at minimum give you something to look at during calls that do not require your full attention.
