We at Gearlog are suckers for small, colorful things. And we just can't resist these desk characters from Dynamism. Feeling lonely in your cube or office (lucky!)? There's no room for loneliness when Nohonon, Potanpoton, Flufleur, FlipFlapQ, and Kotoridayori are at your side. Each creature performs a different function, all in the name of keeping you calm and amused while working. Solar-powered Nohonon (far left) gently nods his head in support, Potanpoton responds when you water him, Les Flufleur react to sound and light up as they bloom, FlipFlap sways soothingly in the breeze, and Kotoridayori (the birdy) tweets when you pick her up or whenever she feels moved. (FlipFlap and Kotoridayori are also solar-powered.)

Each creature comes in a variety of colors, and cost $29-$39. I for one hope they have a duck version in the works. (wink, wink)
