Posted by: Dan T.

Personalized Decision Maker Desk Toy by Things RememberedSet the Outlook calendar! Boss’s Day is October 16. Sure, as holidays go, it’s no Christmas or Valentine’s Day, but Boss’s Day offers an opportunity to acknowledge the check-signer. 

You can go sincere with flowers or gift basket, or if you willing to step out a bit, a gag gift might hit the spot. My pick for a gag gift is this Personalized Executive Decision Maker desk toy. You might be thinking your boss probably already uses one of these, but you can erase all doubt with this fun gift. This one’s great for the boss with a sense of humor.

Personalized Decision Maker Desk Toy starting at $40.00.

Giant Aspirin TabletAh, Administrative Assistants' Day. You could go with flowers, candy, or even a fruit basket. But why not just acknowledge what a pain in the—well, you know—you've been with this clever Giant Aspirin Tablet?

The enormous (662,250 milligrams) pill might not make up for all the headaches you've caused, but it will hold down all the paperwork you've assigned (the heavy ceramic tablet has a felt back for paperweight use). Yes, it's quirky, but it's a great gift for assistants with a sense of humor!

These golf balls look just like the real thing, but put them on the tee, take a swing, and bam! Watch them explode and watch all your friends jump out of their skin.

R/C Hopping & Yodelling LederhosenI'm sure you've seen your fair share of R/C cars, even dinos or flying bugs. But what about R/C hopping and yodeling novelty lederhosen!? How have we lived so long without them?

Each pair of these plastic Bavarian trousers is activated by a remote control knockwurst. Just press the button to make the lederhosen hop around and make yodeling sounds. I think this is an absolutely hilarious April Fool's Day gift. Sneak the lederhosen onto your coworker’s desk and set off the yodeling from a safe distance. Warning: yodeling lederhosen can cause dangerous amounts of laughter!

April Fool’s Gift for Achievers

Posted by: Megan H.

Sticky Set: WheneverSome of my Type A pals have a Post-it obsession. They believe the amount of colored notes on their desk is related to their productivity; which is why they deserve this Sticky Set: Whenever as an April Fool's gift.

The set is a perfectionist's dream with individual pads for things to do today, soon and someday, as well as handy-dandy flags labeled now, later and never. And they all come tucked into a trusty desk tray to keep everything organized in place. It's an ideal gift for poking fun at your Achiever friends' crazy tendencies and to add to the humor, they'll probably find the Sticky Set useful!

Sticky Set: Whenever starting at $12.99
