#2 Solar desk toys. Do you remember the craze for cats cradles and magnetic sculptures made up of tiny metal stars which sat on nearly ever executive eighties desk? Desk toys are still popular and you can be a real envy at work with a stunning solar wind turbine working model.

#1 Solar wireless keyboard. Straight in at number one for this year is the amazing new keyboard from Logitech. Once upon a time keyboards were chunky and clunky, with short tangles of cables. Desktops then evolved to wireless keyboards, de-clutter became the buzz word and desks began to take on a zen like minimalism in the absence of spaghetti wires. Now all other keyboards can step aside: the solar wireless keyboard is sleek, super thin, super light, stylish and has beautiful laptop style keys for silky keystrokes. A must have for any hip desk in 2011. Just make sure it doesn't disappear onto somebody else's desk!
