At home I have a Jack Russell terrier “Lucy” who loves to curl up in a little ball and sleep by a sunny window gently snoring. As I toil away at work I sometimes think about Lucy and what a great life she has! While some work places have started letting employees bring their pets to work in recent years, I can’t really see that happening at my work in the near future.
One item that I noticed on the cubicle website gorillacube.com is a ”Perfect Petzzz.” A Perfect Petzzz is a battery operated furry toy dog or cat that sleeps and gently snoozes in an adorable way that you can both see and hear. Your Perfect Petzzz comes with his/her own tag, carrier, brush, and birth certificate. There are a TON of options/breeds to choose from. This is definitely a unique item for any pet lover and a way to bring a cuddly reminder of home into the office.
Gorillacube.com is an awesome new website that’s full of fun ideas for the cubicle. Gorillacube’s motto “Where Work Meets Fun” rings true from visiting its website. From fun desk accessories to USB gadgets, Gorillacube is a one-stop-shop for cubicle fun.
One item that caught our eye as perfect for any macho man is the “Mug Tool Belt.” This item is canvas and durable and transforms a normal coffee mug into a creative and organized masterpiece. With the mug tool belt, your bucket-boss -wearing-coffee-cup will scoff at all of the other naked coffee cups.

5 Day a Week Paper Mousepad
I was browsing my local Pier 1 Imports and came across a weekly calendar by knockknockstuff.com that doubles as a mousepad. You can use it to fill in your meetings, tasks, or reminders and once you’re done with the week you simply rip off a sheet and start anew. The pad incorporates some office-friendly humor as well, providing you with an area to document things in the “snowball in hell” category and check off the TGIF box once you’re done with the week. I had a fun time checking out their website and exploring all of the novelty gifts, stationary, and greeting cards. It definitely gave me some ideas for gifts for co-workers.

I was walking around my office trying to get some cube decoration inspiration when I came across my coworker Bakul’s bulletine board. Lucky for me, I didn’t have to go far- only 4 cubes down. Bakul’s cube with its Marilyn Monroe, Jimi Hendrix, Wacky Albert Einstein postcards along with the quotes and British flag is really unique and fun to look at. Definitely a cool way to add some life to the office!
I thought this was such an adorable little plant holder to have at your desk and it would pretty much go with EVERYTHING. I found this classic 3 legged porcelain pot on Etsy and it was created by PigeonToe Ceramics. A little Veluntina airplant, which is the featured plant, also seems like a pretty low maintenance plant to have as well. Anyways, I’m always on the lookout out on other blogs and Etsy for cute desk accessories to post!
This European blog: Office Design Gallery features unique designs on a grand scale. Definitely check it out and see if you can grab some insights into decorating your own cube or office! Here’s some of the one’s I found most interesting:

If you are a person who is constantly fidgeting (like me) then this is the perfect product! According to the website “Riding on four smooth gliding casters, the Webble combines an iconic shape with a spring suspension and patented mesh membrane that offer the ultimate in comfort and flexibility. The webble’s open frame combines strength and style in an unmistakable form that challenges the assumption that life under your desk couldn’t possibly be fun.” Well, this is definitely the first product I’ve heard of that offers under the desk fun. Also, another interesting fact about the Webble, apparently it was the 2008 “Best of Year Interior Design Winner.”
Check out a Canadian Reader’s blog (stylenorth) and see the amazing improvements he was able to do to his cube with splashy fabric wall coverings, bright lighting, and a vintage guest chair. We also love the coordinating and cheerful calendar. The results are truly designer quality. Who wouldn’t prefer working in a cube like that?? Now get to it… and we’d love to see the results.
