Office Space Box of Flair
Here’s a little gift idea to help you build bridges in the office, and this box of flair would definitely go a long way in exchange for some goodwill whenever you need assistance to get out of a tight spot.
With this little kit, you’ll get fifteen flair buttons printed with fun sayings and designs. Such classics as I can set the building on fire; I dream of doing nothing; Did you get the memo?; Drew making his “O Face;” and even a picture of Brian, the man with flair. You also get a 32-page book that recalls the many hilarious moments in the film, while further explaining the buttons connections with the movie.

A box of flair will set you back by $7.99 from ThinkGeek.
Battling R/C Dalek Set
One Dalek is bad enough, but you now have two to duke it out with your colleague in order to find a winner in your latest disagreement.
Each Dalek runs on a different R/C channel, so they won’t interfere with each other. They also yell out various Dalek phrases as you move them around (don’t worry – they also yell when they are hit). It may sound easy, but these little suckers are so fast, that scoring a hit is really a challenge. Get hit five times, and you lose (your Dalek will scream, “Aaaaaargh!”). Then, just reset and play again. For added fun, a Cyber Leader action figure is thrown into the mix. We suggest using him as a Cyber Cheer Leader! “Daleks! Daleks! Gooooooooo, Daleks!”
Each $69.99 purchase comes with a couple of 5″ R/C Dalek units, two control units, and a poseable Cyber Leader action figure.
