Step one to creating a better workspace for yourself in the office is to clean your desk. Get all those lunch crumbs, coffee stains, and dust bunnies out of there. Step two is to personalize it with cool stuff. These items will help you make your space better for concentration and creativity—and make your coworkers jealous.

The Mug

Coffee breaks are better when you use a mug instead of a soggy cardboard cup. This particular mug—made from stoneware, not wood—looks kinda like Darth Maul, which is cool.
