Swiss Military Pen


The Swiss are highly regarded for their precision pen knives. And now they're taking things one stage further by fitting 13 essential items into a precision pen!

Constructed using Aircraft Grade Alloy, this sleek bit of kit includes a flat screwdriver, hole puncher, steel file, short cutting blade, ear pick, nail remover, long cutting blade, tweezers, phillips screwdriver, steel fork, saw and a writing pen. (Kitchen sink not included).

James Bond would be lost without one of these beauties.

The pen un-twists into three cylinders, each with storage slots to hold the various blades. The two knurled cylinder joints also contain tools on each side. Made out of a rugged yet lightweight aluminium alloy, the Swiss Military Pen is great for campers, hunters, do-it-yourselfers, repair people and gadget-levers.

Butt Station Office Gadget


At first glance this could just be some crude desk ornament, but look closer and it is in fact an incredibly ingeniously formed desk tidy.

Tuck your Post-it Note pad in the cistern, let the little fella hold a roll of sticky tape for you, and he’ll hold a pen between his gritted teeth. Even better lift him up and rather than nasty surprises, you’ll just find a neat little cubby hole for storing paper clips, drawing pins, or any other small items you may want to.

This is sure to make a stylishly welcome and useful addition to any desk!

FTW! Mug


In an increasingly sterile corporate world, where the dress code is dictated and your cubicle decor is reviewed for appropriateness, the coffee mug is the last bastion of personal expression. Sure, you could desperately ask "Is it Friday YET?" or advertise yourself as "Number 1 Dad!" (or Mom - both of which are especially entertaining if you have no children), but you're better than that. Declare your defiance against the corporate drones with this FTW! mug. Fill it with your favorite caffeinated beverage, and taste the victory.

Not Paper


"I Am Not A Paper Cup," the packaging says. Designed to look like you just stepped out of one of those hip and trendy coffee megachains with a triple grande one-percent two-pump hazelenut no-foam crappuchino with one of their paper-cups. In actuality, you may have made a simple pot of Folgers at home with a blue-packet of sweetener and a glug of milk. Maybe your coffee's not "gourmet" but you can look like you're drinking some of the expensive stuff.

What's more, you're able to simply wash and reuse that cup indefinitely. The cup itself is ceramic and double-walled for extra thermo-goodness. Fill the inner chamber with hot water and keep the coffee warmer longer!
