Desk accessories at work

What desk accessories do you have on your desks at work?

I've got a new desk and its looking kind of naked! I was thinking of some small plants and one of those USB fans?

What do you have?

Lots of paper - makes me look busy and I always have something to scribble on when the phone rings.

Don't have my "own" desk, so nothing.

For some reason I really hate people who stick photos of their children all over their workstations though. When I'm walking around the building, I don't want to be visually accosted by your ugly offspring every 2 minutes.

What you need are some PostIt notes.

Nothing, my desk has a keyboard mouse and 2x monitors...though the desk behind mine is covered high in all my paper, jumpers, folders, etc (nothing fun

)

a digital dictation machine and a desk mat with a map of the world is about as good as it gets for me

A cup of tea.

I have a little black scottie cuddly dog, had it on my desk for about 6 years so he's rather dusty! Was a present from my ex fiance. (might sound weird but desk looks empty if I take it away now )

I'm guilty of having a couple of pics of my nephews on my wall. (oh and I have a rob Pattinson calender ooh yeah

)

otherwise nothing else. If i had something too fancy no doubt the others would mess about with it and break it or steal it

At my desk at home, tons of paper...pens...mug of tea...big noticeboard.

Lots of paper and post-it notes. If I'm feeling really creative, I might origami-ify some of the paper. Not to be done too often, lest it become obvious you have too much free time on your hands.
