Office Gadgets and Toys - Work Hard and Play Hard Posted By : Alice Duong

Posted by admin on 26th September 2007

It’s a fact that in this competitive and demanding world many of us tend to work too hard and the office has become our second home. In this article, I would like to introduce to you my top 6 office gadgets and toys which I hope will add a little fun to your day and provide some light stress relief for those stressful moments in the office.

Monday – Hatch Em Reptile Eggs

These Hatch Em Reptile Eggs are the hottest new craze in pets. They are amusing to watch or some may even find them creepy. Whatever the feelings, they will bring out the youth in you and put a smile on your face. Hatch one at the beginning of the week and watch your week go by (hopefully quicker) as these amazing animals start to crack out of their egg shell and grow into a 6 inches pet.

Tuesday - The Soccer Pro Robot

Even if you are not a David Beckham fan you will find the Soccer Pro Robot highly stimulating and fun in the comfort of your own office. The highly-acclaimed, award-winning Soccer Robot has been totally redesigned to create even more excitement and good old human-robot interaction. A third motor has been added to this amazing robot, which is used to catch and shoot a ball. Its incredible fast track wheel system powers this unit to make unbelievable sonic maneuvers on the desktop or on the floor. Why not share the fun and have the Soccer Pro race down the corridor and watch it run forward, backward, turns left or right, and executes 360-degree turns.

Wednesday – Wind Up Racing Grannies and Fighting Granddads
Who said, when you’re older you become less mobile? This is certainly not the case for these two racing grannies. Wind up these old dears and watch them race at crippling speeds! If having fun with your grannies is not enough, how about having a laugh at your granddads too? Wind up these fighting granddads and watch them give the grannies a run for their money. They may be old but all those years of unused muscles are coming to life.
These grannies and granddads are truly hilarious and will surely attract a few laughs in the office and make a great conversation piece.

Thursday - Shocking Novelties

Ok….you are almost through the work week and are sick and tired of pens, staplers and calculators disappearing from your desk. These shocking novelties will certainly shock your co-workers away once and for all and why not have a laugh at their expense at the same time!

These shock pens actually write - this feature adds to the chances of fooling the victim. The shocking calculator actually looks so real that your unsuspecting co-workers will never know what hit them. The “On/Off” button when pushed will “ZAP” them away. Finally, the shocking Stapler is the ultimate office gag that is sure to scare any unsuspecting culprit who likes to borrow and not return.

Friday - Duck Shooting Gallery

TGIF! By now, you are probably ready to shoot the next person that walks into your office. Why not get it out of your system with the Duck Shooting Game. This is a replica of the beloved carnival game that provides hours of fun. It is fully automated with a conveyor carrying the targets past the cross hairs, accompanying music and sound effects and a wireless infrared pistol. A hit will knock over a duck, and register on the game’s LCD display. Each duck down scores you 10 points. Play against the clock to beat your best score in one minute or select continuous play for hours of duck shooting fun.

Have a Great Week!
