We all understand the importance of sticky notes around an office space or even at home. They’re great for leaving notes and organizing your tasks, but on the down side, they can only be used once, so you end up buying more and more. SlickyNotes are a magical kind of sticky notes, they’re a double-sided, adhesive-free notes that will turn ANY surface into a creative space! You read that right… they’re adhesive-free, yet the stick anywhere! So, how does it work?
- SlickyNotes use electrostatic charge that lasts for weeks. This allows them to stick, re-stick and slide on any clean surface.
- They’re double-sided, one color side and a a dry-erase side.
- Both sides can be used interchangeably.
Need to see it to believe it? Watch the following video:
SlickyNotes are available in three sizes: small, medium, large and letter size. It’s also available as a whiteboard, Slickyboard, which works in the exact same way but gives you larger space. You can get your preferred size and pack of SlickyNotes starting at only $1.99
We’ve featured many desktop organizers before, iStick Multi-function Organizer and U-Board Smart Organizer being the most popular. Lifta Desk Organizer is an option for anyone who wants a sleek minimal design. Made of wood (three options available), it is designed to lift your monitor up for optimal height, gives you space for your computer accessories and keep your desk tidy. However, it lacks many of the function other organizers offer, like additional USB hub, phone holder, cup holder and many more. For its price, we’d consider the Lifta to be more of a design object than a functional desktop accessory. So if you’re looking to organize your desk and add more function to your workspace, we’d recommend the organizers we mentioned above. $125 [via – Bless This Stuff]
We’ve covered many cool office accessories that you can use to organize your desk and increase your productivity level, this Satechi Smart Monitor Stand is one to add to the list.

The stand includes 4 front USB ports and a mic/speaker plug also in the front. You can easily adjust the height of the stand to find the best viewing level of your laptop or monitor.
Organizing messy cables is not a fun task, especially if you’re using traditional cable tie-up that are just boring. The Taped Up cable organizers are colorful and fun.

The adhesive back of the clip makes it easy to attach on any surface. Available in three colors, sold in a set of 6. $8
Have you ever bought something that doesn’t necessarily provide any particular function, but is just totally so awesome that you had to have it? Fluux LiquiMetal is exactly that. Although, I wouldn’t call it without a function, LiquiMetal provides you with a momentary distraction, something to gaze into, relaxation when you’re having a long stressful day.
So what is LiquiMetal, exactly?
LiquiMetal is an object that uses Ferrofluid, a liquid which becomes strongly magnetized in the presence of a magnetic field, to create suspended color shifting shapes. Made from glass and anodized aluminum, LiquiMetal can sit on your desktop in one of two positions to provide you with endless entertainment.
Since Ferrofluid relies on magnet to change its shape, the strength of a magnet effects the density / fluidity of it. With your LiquiMetal you’ll get one or two powerful magnet wands that you’ll wave over LiquiMetal to create different shapes. See it in action in this video:
LiquiMetal is available for pre-order on Kickstarter.com. It’s already been over 300% funded (for an obvious reason!), so we can already tell this fun object is quite a hit! You can get yours starting at $55

The wall-mounted holder is perfect to hold anything, including your keys or any metal items that will attach magnetically to it.
While I’m not a fan of insects, I gotta give these pushpins some cool credit for how realistic they look. Handmade of clay, true to life design, comes in a set of four.
