Desk Dumpster vs Orbit Kinetic Desk Toy

Buy the Desk Dumpster if you want a gift with a joke built in and a place to keep pens. Buy the Orbit Kinetic Desk Toy if you want a metal object that moves and looks good on a shelf. The Desk Dumpster is painted MDF that pops together without tools and holds pens plus over 100 flame notecards; owners rate it 5 out of 5, though that is only 32 ratings and most are about the gag. The Orbit is heavier metal with moving parts, but its listing gives no rating and little detail on build or how long it keeps moving.

• Choose the Desk Dumpster if you need a funny gift for a coworker or a desk caddy that actually stores pens and notes.
• Choose the Orbit Kinetic Desk Toy if you want a metal moving piece for a shelf or desk and do not need storage.
