City Lights Globe
We are all so busy that we sometimes forget to stop by and smell the roses. Or in the case of city folk, it would involve checking out the vibrant city life and feel its pulse. Well, perhaps there is another way to do so with this particular $89.99 City Lights Globe? Yes sir, the name itself says it all – this unique desktop accessory will allow you to literally view the earth at night from orbit, as it automatically rotates on its axis to show off day and night segments.
To put it in a nutshell, you need not be an astronaut to see the earth as it is from orbit, as the City Lights Globe will do a good enough job in illuminating the cities of the world. Of course, you might end up being mesmerized by its turning motion, wondering why didn’t you end up as an astronaut instead of being tethered behind the desk as an accountant? No offense to accountants, of course, but don’t you think an astronaut is far more adventurous and glamorous?
WorkEZ Professional Adjustable Stand from Uncaged Ergonomics
Comfort and ergonomics are very important when working a laptop. Ideally, it should be on a desk or table, but the WorkEZ Professional adjustable stand is made for those who are using the laptop on the bed, sofa, chair, floor, or small table.
The aluminum stand can hold a load of 13 pounds. The secret of the WorkEZ Professional’s success is its adjustable joints, which are made to lock in place every 15 degrees. All that is required of the user is to push in the button and lock the proper angle, which insures that both the left and right leg are always at the same angle. The instructions show precisely what angle Joints A, B, and C have to be in order to create a stand for a standing position, a bed, a couch, even the floor.

Stretch Screamers make Halloween more fun
So you’ve seen stress balls before (and perhaps used them), but how many of them will actually scream? Enter the £22.99 Stretch Screamers, where you will be able to choose from Mummy, Frankenstein or Ghoul characters. These are rubbery figures that will howl and moan whenever you give them a good stretch. Torturing the undead does not seem to be the wisest thing to do, no? After all, they can’t die, and who are we to say that they will not exact their revenge on you ala Chucky when you fall asleep?
Just like all other horror movies you’ve watched, these rubbery characters are full well able to take quite the beating, as they tend to come back for a whole lot more punishment after you’ve given your best shot. Even more realistic is this – each character will feature their very own pop out item, be it a brain or an eyeball. Of course, they will fall silent once the two AAA batteries inside run out of juice. These don’t run on human brains for sure!
Pivot Power Power Strip
You know something? Being a geek would mean you would have access to a plethora of gadgets and gizmos to play around with, but sometimes, that would also mean having more stuff to keep track of – such as the amount of power adapters and cables that you need to bring along with you each time you go out for a trip. Well, there is nothing quite like a power strip to make sure that everything has a place to be plugged in, but sometimes, the traditional power strips weren’t designed in a way to fit into tight places or accommodate giant adapters.
With the $29.99 Pivot Power Power Strip, this attractively designed piece of hardware is capable of fitting even giant adapters without losing a spot beside it. No longer do you need to grapple with the issue of unusable outlets, coaxing one thirsty gadget to hold on for just “one more bar of battery” as you place a higher priority on your smartphone to revive its flagging battery.
Six adjustable outlets attached to six feet of cord makes for a really cool power strip – I don’t expect to hear you having any more troubles with your gadget charging moments the next time you head out for a trip.
Doctor Who Desktop Dalek
Fans of the Doctor Who series will definitely be pleased to have all things Doctor Who around them, including the work desk if possible. After all, who isn’t scared of these feared machines? Imagine having a Dalek patroller who faithfully reports for duty each and every single day, whether you turn up at the office or not. It will feature ground sensors that help it avoid falling off the corporate “cliff”, and actually chiprs “Exterminate!” with plenty of zest whenever it makes a turn.
Of course, the $34.99 Doctor Who Desktop Dalek will run on a trio of AAA batteries, so make sure you have some rechargeables handy at all times if you want to make sure no one comes near your cubicle and start making a mess of it. With all the turning around and shouting, it might get irritating after a while – leading your irate colleague to literally exterminate it by tossing it into the nearby bin. If only it had the spunk of R2-D2 to fight back with an electric cattle prod thingamajic…
HP celebrates 30 years of calculation with limited edition HP 12c Financial Calculator
If you happen to be good friends with an accountant or basically anyone involved in crunching numbers in the financial sector and are scratching your head as to what to purchase for them as a present, might I interest you in what has long been deemed to be the gold standard of business calculation – the HP 12c Financial Calculator, a piece of equipment that the company has sold for three decades straight? Yes sir, how many companies are able to say that they have a product which has been in the market for 30 years or more without having to make any major revisions?
Just what made the HP 12c a classic? It has been touted to have revolutionized financial calculations thanks to a breakthrough landscape layout, making computations more accurate compared to federal standards publications alongside an unmatched keypad which enables users to enter complex formulas with ease, speed and confidence. Heck, it even sports replaceable miniature batteries that allowed the calculator to fit nicely in a (small) shirt pocket.

Kuchofuku Air-Conditioned Cooling Work Shirt
The Japanese have come up with yet another “tool” to help you combat sweltering summers that you experience over there – this looks like any other short-sleeved polyester shirt from the outside, but when you take a look at the $186 price tag, you would definitely realize that surely all that money forked out for it would have to go somewhere – at that is because this work shirt is equipped with fans.
Kufukucho’s ingenious solution has its DNA rooted in previous cooling solutions such as seat cushions, mats and beds, and this polyester shirt follows suit by integrating fans which will drive fresh, cooling air flow all over your body to make sure you even save on deodorant in the long run. A control box will house a couple of AA batteries to power the fans, and you can even adjust the fan’s speed.
Mantis LED Desk Lamp
There are times when you are working late into the night, and since you live in a one-bedroom apartment with very little space and have a wife who is totally bummed out after a long, hard day at work, it makes sense not to disturb what little sleep she will be getting. So what happens when you need to work late into the night? Apart from getting one of those silent keys keyboards, you might also want to switch off the room’s lights – and just settle in your little enclave with the Mantis LED Desk Lamp. Yes sir, this $24.99 purchase can be clipped on just about anywhere, so we are suggesting placing it right on top of your monitor so that it can shine down on your desk area, letting you see where your fingers are going to dance over the QWERTY keyboard or not.
Since the Mantis is battery powered (by a couple of AA batteries) and is tiny enough to tote around, this is useful for those who do a lot of traveling as well. The two AA batteries are able to deliver around 30 hours of light. Heck, it even goes green by turning itself off after a couple of hours in order to conserve energy – how about that?
