Best Desk Toys to Make Your Workplace Unique

Jazz up your otherwise boring office desk with one or two toys. Though it might seem counterproductive, there are actually some benefits to having desk toys that can amp up your work productivity and efficiency.

Why Your Workplace Needs Office Desk Toys

It’s not just an excuse. Science says you can improve your productivity by playing in the office.

According to a 2018 study, gaming can improve productivity by as much as 20%. This is supported by the NYU Game Innovation Lab’s research which said that tactile play through desk toys serves as a mental release and can improve mental performance, increase focus, and reduce stress.

There’s more to office play than just productivity too. It’s a basic biological drive that’s essential to making life better.

To put it simply, office desk toys can:

  • Stimulate the brain and improve cognitive performance
  • Get your creative juices going
  • Improve problem-solving skills
  • Delay mental decline
  • Help cope with setbacks
  • Reduce stress
  • Make you more resistant to illnesses
  • Induce the release of feel-good hormones

Unique Desk Toys for Adults That Will Turn Heads

Tips For Decorating Your Desk

How you decorate your office desk can affect your productivity and mood throughout the day. Here are some tips on how you can personalize your desk with elements that are beneficial to your work and well-being.

1. Bring Nature to Your Desk

Desk plants can add a natural touch to your desk. Aside from having a visually meditative effect, indoor plants can boost your well-being by improving the air quality. You’ll also be more productive since it can naturally reduce office noise and inspire you to be more creative with your tasks.

3. Make a Spot for Your Favorite Artwork

Liven up your space and get inspired at the same time. It can be a framed photo of a happy occasion, your child’s painting, an artwork that you like, or your favorite motivational quote done in beautiful calligraphy. You can also opt to display something that you’ve proudly created yourself like a mechanical model or a music box.

4. Get Creative with a Calendar or Bullet Journal

Stay on track with your tasks with a chic calendar or a bullet journal. You can even make decorating them with some stickers and washi tape a part of your soothing break time while you listen to ASMR videos.

5. Organize But Make It Aesthetic

Desk organization doesn’t have to be boring. Assemble DIY book nook kits during your break time and use them to organize your documents and books. Repurpose the jars and tin cans that you have at home and decorate them to create your personalized pen and paper clip holders.
