Bring a little bit of that carnival feel to your cubicle with this mini Whac-a-Mole desktop game.
The dreadfully named “Whack It” game connects to your USB port and lets you play with yourself at your desk.

While I don’t really know if these qualify as “gadgets,” I just had to show you these awesome tape dispensers coming from UK designers at j-me.
A clever visual pun manifested in 3-dimensions, they dispense Scotch tape instead of playing the magnetic type. Available for pre-order now, these dispensers should be shipping this September for about $25 USD.

These wacky things out of Japan feature the likeness of Toad, the familiar mushroom character from the Super Mario games.
The fun part is that these mushrooms wiggle back and forth when powered by the sun (or a desk lamp.) They’re just about 5-inches tall and make a great desktop gadget for the Mario fan in your life…
