12 Desk Toys You Shouldn't Live 2017 Without

Honestly can't remember my desk without them...

12 Desk Toys You Shouldn't Live 2017 Without

We sit all day at these boring corporate desks or school desks with just a laptop and some pens, and we're expected not to fall asleep. Yeah right, OK. Well, I'm going to teach you how to freshen it up with some toys to make it a less dreadful place to sit.

1. DIY Labbit

Personally, I don't think your boss would allow you to have a plush toy at your desk, so here's a vinyl option that you can color in yourself whenever your still "coming up with ideas" for the next big meeting.

2. Peanut Eraser


Because personally, regular erasers are just too boring and wrong.

3. This is a F*cking Quote Book

Sometimes we just need some casual books on our desk to make us seem a bit more scholarly when the boss or professor walks by. I bet they would be impressed to know that you know so many eloquent quotes and your use of them in daily life.

4. Soup Can Crayon Set

Be honest, how much more likely is it for you to take important notes if your crayons came from a soup can? (A LOT)

5. Universal Phone Mount

This thing is just the best! Helps you hold up your phone and lend you an extra hand while you're busy multitasking, whether you're reading or want to catch up on some Netflix.

6. Mini Geometric Planter

Sometimes we just need a sense of the outdoors while sitting at our gloomy small desks. This low-maintenance cactus is an easy way of adding some freshness to your old desk.

7. Made Lateral Career Moves

Sometimes, we get a little down and need some self confidence or a reminder that we are making power moves in our lives, even if they seem tiny in the grand scheme. This little ribbon will always remind you of how even the worst days are a step closer to our goal.

8. Dog Butt Magnets

How nice would it be to put up the long laundry list of chores, responsibilities, or duties you've been given by your boss, with a dog's butt? That'll really show 'em.

9. Hoptimist Bumble

This little buddy will keep you company for those late nights in the office or while you're cramming for those exams. How could you not smile a bit at this little bouncy toy sitting on your desk?

10. Toysmith Desktop Catapult Toy

Ever feel the need to fling one of those to-do lists across your desk because you finally completed it after dreading it for weeks? Yeah, me too. This lets you even pass notes in the office and I'm sure your boss would appreciate it more than texts.

11. The Daily Mood Desk Flipchart

This is a personal favorite because of how useful it is for communicating with those you don't want to. Maybe you're feeling a little lazy? Put down "Apathetic" and your coworkers wont bother you the entire day!

12. Fidget Cube

Last but certainly not least, my brother's new favorite as of Christmas, the Fidget Cube. Eventually we all get ants in our pants for sitting still from 9 to 5 so this groundbreaking idea allows people to play around with six different little toys in one small cube.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
