This mini ticket dispenser is one of those novelty gifts that feels strangely satisfying the second you see it on a desk. It plays on that classic “take a number” joke, which makes it a brilliant pick for coworkers, managers, office friends or anyone dealing with constant interruptions and low-level workplace chaos. The tiny size makes it even better, because it looks serious for half a second before the joke properly lands. It also comes with a mini book, so it feels more like a proper little gift set than just a random desk trinket. Funny, weirdly functional and very easy to gift, it’s exactly the sort of office present people keep on display.
