As we gear up for National Bosses Day (you did remember didn’t you?) it seemed natural to put together a list of our favorite office toys.
Each of these toys provides enough stress relief to last throughout the day. Working in Real Estate or the Financial Sector? Send a stress relief ball to a co-worker. Have a boss who enjoys to joke around? One of these classics will be perfect to get you into his or her good graces. Don’t have a boss with a flair for comedy? Then you might want to stock up on a couple of these for yourself.
Pin Art
Guaranteed to distract you from that looming deadline, pin art can provide hours of amusement. If you have a dull cubicle you can change the pins into a piece of artwork in minutes. Taking up too much space on the desk? Use the top to hold your tape dispenser or staplers.
Buy it from Amazon: Large Pin Art/Black
Koosh Ball
The stretchy texture of the Koosh Ball may be just what you need to de-stress after one of those crazy meetings*. Toss it in the air, bounce it off the office wall, stretch it out and let it fly. No matter how you play with a Koosh Ball one thing is certain: it’s addictive! * Taking a Koosh ball to a meeting is not recommended as it may inspire jealousy among coworkers.

Magic 8 Ball
Not only does the Magic 8 Ball look classy, it can help you through the work day. Just ask it how you’re doing on the latest work project and it will answer for you. Should the “Outlook doesn’t look Good” come up, you can simply shake it again to get the answer you need.

Newton’s Cradle
Ah, kinetic motion. Perfect for giving the impression that you are constantly working on something. Just a little effort can provide you with hours of scintillating distraction. Imagine how much work would get done if subordinates functioned on the same principle!

Basketball Hoop
Having a basketball hoop set up in the office is a great way to escape the confines of your desk chair. A little stretching here and there, followed with the euphoria that follows a successful shot can give you the energy you need to succeed through the day. For a little extra oomph, challenge a coworker to a game!

Popping Martian
Ever have one of those client phone calls that makes you want to scream? Ever need a positive outlet for all of that stress? We recommend the Popping Martian toy. With only a few facial features it’s easy to superimpose the face of another and allow you to get out your aggression in a healthy non income threatening way.

Place a slinky on top of the water cooler and sit back and watch. You might be surprised who starts to play with it.
