VIEW PHOTO GALLERY
Every office needs the proper tools. When you’re in between projects, waiting for code to compile, or the boss is on vacation and you need to blow off some steam, you should have the proper tools handy to deal with the non-task at hand. Whatever the occasion, there’s a handful of things that every office needs to make the most out of this all too infrequent goof off time. What you need are some badass office toys, and we’ve got four of the best out there.
Check out the gallery above for a visual walkthrough, or read on below for out justification of these weighty claim of awesomeness.
Suction cup, full foam jacketThis first in the list is a must-have, no matter what you do for a living. These aren’t just toys, they are survival tools critical to making it through the work day. Nerf guns — no matter how big or small — should be tucked away just in case you need to send a message or break an uncomfortable silence.
You can get single shot Nerf weapons for under $10, and enough ammo to keep you going even after the office manager comes and confiscates a few rounds. If you’re in a more entrenched combat situation, heavy duty Nerf weaponry gets a little pricey. That’s before you get into the deep, dark world of Nerf modding to optimize firing speed or effective range. Nerf weaponry is the best place to start, and if you don’t have one at your desk already you should really get to it.
The drone warsNext up on the “must have” list is some kind of remote controlled distraction. Something that makes just enough noise to bother everyone in the office, but when they stop and look at what you are doing the mood changes from annoyed to amused. The best thing for most offices to accomplish this is the Parrot AR Drone. It’s a torso-sized quadcopter than can be driven with just about any smartphone or tablet in the office, so anyone can pick it up and enjoy themselves.
The AR Drone comes with a mounted camera that you can use to record whatever is going on over with the guys on the other side of the office, all controlled from within the app. There’s a padded casing that protects it from smacking into anything or anyone while flying it around indoors, and you can remove this padding when you take it outside and get a little more creative in flying it around. It’s hard to imagine a good reason not to have one of these in the office.
Warriors of lightThe next item on our list of awesome office toys is equal parts dangerous and incredible. Sometimes you have a little more time to kill than others, and in those situations it’s great to dim the lights and bust out the 1W super laser from Wicked Lasers. They make this lightsaber-sized lasers in multiple colors, and even on their lowest setting they are bright enough to cause damage to the eyes. It’s best to use the special glasses that come with this laser, but once you do there’s all kinds of fun to be had.
As long as you aren’t accidentally setting things on fire, you can create some really cool light shows even in broad daylight. Also, Wicked Lasers sells and actual lightsaber attachment, allowing you to stroll through the office and demonstrate your clear dominance over the rest of the keyboard monkeys.
Magic plasma ballFinally, there’s a piece of your childhood that really belongs in your office. Something that every single person you know would smile as they interacted with it, no matter what was going on. You can play with it when you’re on the phone, or when you’re in between tasks. The immortal Plasma Ball is something that adds fun to every office setting. They are almost always inexpensive, unless you opt for a larger version, and many of them are even USB powered now. They could be used as desk accessories or water cooler silliness. It’s one of those things that is almost always considered harmless fun, and way less likely to get you in trouble than the other things on our list.
There’s no shortage of other interesting and amusing things to have around the office, and thankfully very few of them have anything to do with getting actual work done.
