COOL FOR THE CUBICLE.

by Biz-Boy (NWM Staff Writer)

Here’s a trifecta of timewasters and sheek geek deco for the cubicle.

CUBICLE PLAYSET ($12.99): Now it’s your turn to play boss of a mini 9-5er (Bob, Ted or Joe). Toy cubicle comes complete with everything you need to design a tiny slice of classic corporate culture – walls, desk, chair, file cabinet, in/out box, phone, computer, sticker decorations and office slacker.

FINGER DRUMS ($24.99): Put down that makeshift pencil / coffee cup instrument and pick up some real mini drums. Set features 5 touch sensitive percussion sounds. The bass drum even has a working finger pedal. Each drum also has colored blinking lights, perfect for an impromptu cubicle concert. 3 AAA batteries included with purchase.

STAR WARS R2-D2 TRASHCAN ($99.99): This is the droid you’re looking for…when it comes to office waste. The R2 trash can is the perfect cubicle compliment for any out-of-the-closet geek. It stands 24” tall and has an easy to operate flip-top (way better than any Death Star trash compactor).

THINK GEEK GIFTS!

I’m just going to throw this out there, people who have everything SUCK! Not only for the obvious reasons. The beautiful houses. Cars that rhyme with Berrari & Gourche. To me, they really suck because you can never find the right gifts for those people. Chances are they have everything you would think of getting them, and probably spent more money than you would. No offense. Christmas. Birthdays. Chanukah. You simply can’t win, so go geek. Thinkgeek.com is literally made up of stuff no one would ever think to own. USB / toy rocket launchers. Rubix cube alarm clocks. And even a Linux based photo frame – Because you never know when you’re going to need an open sourced operating system to display your precious little Shitzu. Thinkgeek has gifts for guys, girls and kids. They’ve even got eco-friendly stuff. All at prices you can afford. And yes, if you’re truly still at a loss, they have gift certificates.
