The Finger Drum Mousepad

What it is: An electronic drumpad that also serves as a mousepad.

Why we love it: Office fidgeters no longer have to entertain themselves by drumming their fingers sadly on their desks. Now they can create music while they work! The drumpad/mousepad allows the user to play eight different percussion sounds, including bass, snare, two rack toms, a floor tom, hi-hat, crash, and ride cymbals using their fingers. A demonstration mode allows them to accompany six pre-set patterns, and they can record up to 30 of their own rhythms. Sound levels can be adjusted to keep co-workers from getting too annoyed.

Who we'd give it to: Fidgeters, Stressed Out Co-Workers, Office Toy fanatics, and budding Musicians.

Where to get it: From Hammacher Schlemmer for a pulsating $39.95.
