The daily grind can sometimes feel like, well, a grind. Between endless emails, meetings about meetings, and that one coworker who always microwaves fish, the office could often use a serious injection of fun. Forget another "World's Okayest Employee" mug – we're talking gifts that spark genuine chuckles, maybe a snort-laugh, and yes, quite possibly a dramatic eye roll from Susan in accounting (which is its own reward, really).
We've navigated the treacherous waters of workplace appropriateness (mostly) to find 24 office items that are perfect for your desk, your door, or even as a gift for that person whose name you only kinda know but want to make laugh. Prepare for office finds that range from the delightfully absurd to the subtly sarcastic, all designed to make those 9-to-5 hours a little less beige and a lot more brilliant.
