This box of happiness features 72 word magnets full of happiness that you can use to put together the happiest sentences to put on your fridge, on your white board at the office or any steel surface around you. Also available in words of love and words of encouragement. And let's not forget the best one of them all, the LOLMagnetz.

Mississippi Clock

One Mississippi, Two Mississippi, Three Mississippi... you get the idea. Buy it here.

Pop Up Pencil Cup

The Pop Up Pencil Cup is a solution to a basic problem with the regular pencil cups. When filled with writing utensils, the ones in the center always get stuck and cannot be taken out easily. So with the Pop Up cup, which was inspired by the classic straw dispenser, when you pull up the red ball, the holder in the cup is pulled up, fanning out the pens and making them all accessible.

An interesting handmade set of salt and pepper shakers with inner graphic that's revealed when you use the shaker. Available here.

The Dirty Mug

This mug, as its description says, has been strategically and purposely "dirtied" for your enjoyment. I don't know why would anyone want to drink from a mug this dirty...

Now Tengu comes in an All Stars edition, with an awesome 'fro and some stickers to customize it. It is a fun little toy that'll keep you company as you work. Buy it here.
