I recently found a pen holder that reminds me a bit of pop art, or something like that. It’s the Giant Sharpener Desk Tidy that’s available from Urban Outfitters for $28.

I like the tidy for a few reasons: it’s different, attractive and made from responsibly harvested, sustainable wood. I don’t think it’s an actual sharpener though! However, I do think it would make a nice home warming or office gift. Their Dirty Mug is also interesting, though I think I’d have trouble drinking from it…
Do you like unusual desk items?
