Ergotron might sound like a transforming robot from Cybertron, but it’s actually much more useful.  With the Ergotron Notebook Arm from Lenovo, you can effortlessly lift a notebook, computer monitor, or flat panel TV to a better viewing position while freeing up valuable space on your desk.

The sleek and streamlined LX is extremely easy to install, and allows one hand adjustments of your computer monitor, notebook or TV; move the screen and it stays with no locks or knobs.  Swing the screen to show a client what you’re looking at, position your laptop for use in bed, or rotate your monitor lengthwise to capture more scrolling space.  Not only does the Ergotron LX provide unparalleled range of motion, it makes your workstation look sophisticated and professional.  You can also use two arms on the same stand to optimize function and space.

Finally, a pet you don’t have to feed, clean-up after, or take to the vet!  Dozi’s only requirement is that you always have a fresh supply of paperclips. 
In his natural environment, Dozi is actually bald, and though the paperclips aren’t fooling anybody, Dozi will get quite self conscious without them.  Depending on your decor, you might prefer Mrs. Dozi in Pink, just be prepared for an earful if you use up all her paperclips. 

Korean designer Mika Kim adds another novel character to Alessi’s playful line of home and office products.  The porcupine-like creature is fashioned from smooth PMMA plastic and holds paperclips magnetically to its body.  Choose from a variety of colors.

Can also be used for other metal objects such as sewing needles or liquid mercury.

For those of you that don’t believe in facts:  After Eve so viscously committed the most heinous crime of eating an apple, God smitten all the other creatures of the earth by creating the food chain, but he so graciously built in some natural defenses, such as prickers; and so it came to be… the Spike Pen.  

If you don’t believe either of those, then Spike was created by Fred and Friends for people that want a little green on their desk.

Apparently the pen is mightier than the sword; especially a sharp pen. 
If you’re going to have something taking up space on your desk it needs to be creative, family related, or really really expensive.
Dead Fred, made by our good friends at Suck UK, is neither expensive or family related (unless you’re a member of the Manson family).  It is however very inventive and will be sure to give your coworkers a chuckle; watch how fast their smiles disappear when you tell them how it reminds you of the last time you saw your father.
