Take a Number! Tiny Ticket Dispenser
This tiny, fully functional ticket dispenser lets anyone "take a number" before interrupting a busy desk — a playful way to manage office interruptions with a laugh instead of a sigh. It's a genuinely novel desktop gift that gets used again and again, unlike most gag gifts that get set aside after day one. A memorable pick for a manager, a busy coworker, or anyone who wishes their desk had a queue system.
