Anyone have a list of items that would be good to keep at your desk at work?

I have the bar board and self-sharpening utility knife, and it made me wonder what else people could keep at their desk for lunch/snacktime. Maybe the Easy Adjustable Measuring Spoon?

What else can we come up with?
 
DH has a set of the outdoor utensils at work, they don't break like the 'sporks' from BK and McDs.
 
apple wedger!

Depending on how much room you have:

Small micro-cooker for heating up lunches
can opener
microfiber towel or dishcloth
silicone trivet
a set or 2 of the outdoor utensils (DH loves these for work!)
 
can opener
coffee & more cups (coffee & soup)
salt & pepper mill
utensil set
