We’re always on the hunt for work-appropriate toys that help pass the time between meetings. And no offense to the Fidget Cubes, Buckyballs, and other tchotchkes we’ve fiddled with to death, but this Engine Desk Toy easily surpasses them in terms of grabbing our attention. The little Stirling Engine that could sits on your desk and kicks into gear when you light the wick and give the wheel a spin. Over time, the RPMs crank up until it looks as if it’s going in slow motion. While this specific Stirling Engine desk toy sold, there are others out there you can find to help pass the time. Or, just put this video on repeat and wait until the boss calls you over to the conference room.

Huckberry’s Essential Holiday Gift Guide
Unzip your coat and have some mulled wine on the house—you’ve arrived at your final gifting destination: The Holiday Gift Guide. It’s like your friendly neighborhood one-stop holiday shop, except instead of balsa wood ornaments, ours is packed with thoughtful gifts for everyone on your list. Future heirlooms, small-but-significant stocking stuffers, and gear for getting out there (or staying in)—are all right here. There’s no music playing in the background though, so you’ll just have to hum Bing Crosby while you click around instead.
