desk toy
Office stress reliever
A desk toy is a small object kept on a workspace for idle amusement or stress relief.
Newton's cradles, fidget spinners, and magnetic sculptures are classic examples.
Desk toys serve no practical purpose beyond distraction and decoration, though some claim they aid concentration: I can't think without clicking my desk toy.
