Spooky-cute desk decor
For the cubicle that should not be this haunted.
The desk is where most people spend the day, and most desks look like it. A single strange object fixes that faster than any amount of tasteful organization. It gives the eye somewhere to go during a long call, and it tells coworkers exactly who they are dealing with.
This list sticks to things that fit on a desk and, where possible, do a job there. A pen holder shaped like an anatomical heart. A skull lamp and a plasma ball for ambient light. A heart-shaped stash box for paper clips or secrets. A pink skull sign with advice. A bronze skeleton in Rodin’s Thinker pose, for the afternoons when the spreadsheet is winning. And a few desk companions with no job at all: a satanic punk duck, a pickle that tells fortunes, a candle shaped like a rude gesture for the desk that needs to say something the user cannot.
These make good gifts for coworkers you like, and very good gifts for coworkers you know well. Each pick links to its catalog notes; the listing and current price are on Amazon.
