10 Funky Fun Desk Toys and Gadgets to Play with When You're Bored at Work

Congratulations! You've just saved the world using your new walking robot pencil sharpener.

At four inches tall, he's small enough to keep under subjection so he can do your every bidding. And when he's not sharpening your pencil, his little robot arms will hold your extra sharpened pencil for you.

Like every good minion, he cleans up after himself. Pencil shavings collect in his head, and all it takes is quick action from you to delete his motherboard.

Robots 0. Bored office worker 1.

The fight for world domination is over, and it's left your desk looking war torn. A cluttered workspace is an unproductive workspace, so it's time to get things cleaned up so you can get to work.

Mummy Mike was a casualty of war. He's all bandaged up in your rubber bands, crawling across your desk trying to make it to the safety of your top drawer.

He writhes in pain and rolls over, but never frees himself from his bands. Until you need one that is.

Bob, the new intern in the office, finally brought you that latte you asked him to bring you forever ago.

Rummaging through the debris, you pull out Splat Stan. He might have been crushed by the opposition, but he's still willing to support your coffee habit.

It's said that conflict separates the men from the boys, and this battle was no exception.

Stress Paul found refuge behind your monitor. Like the coward he is, he huddled there in the fetal position until you defeated the robot.

But it's okay. You make him relive the stress of battle every time you pick him up and give him a squeeze.

Now that you've saved the office, tidied your desk, and you're thoroughly chilled out, it's time to get down to business and actually do some work.

The problem is, the ideas just aren't flowing. You want to meet that 5:00 deadline, but you're just not that into it.

So you do what any good procrastinator would do, you scrap what you're working on because you've got more important things to do.

Like write out your fantasy football team on sticky notes, link your paperclips together, or lift your fingerprints off your coffee mug with invisible tape.

It's amazing how the right office supplies can send your productivity through the roof.
