Most people have a little something on their desk that brings them comfort and joy throughout the workday. Sometimes it's a picture, other times it's something totally different. What is your favorite item sitting on your desk and why?!

I am going to cheat, I have 2.
1) My Pop heads! They are characters I have enjoyed in movies and I can't help but smile when I see them 🤗
2) An empty Educated Guess bottle of wine that has a fake sunflower in it. I love that the flower gives my desk a little girly touch and the wine bottle is cool and nerdy.
Definitely the tech deck that my coworker gave me 😄
Nice Twilios too! ☎️❤️
Toothless! I've got the same one on my entertainment center. I've got a black cat that looks (and sometimes acts) like Toothless.
Im fond of my little bench-pressing robot guy
Why would a robot need to bench press? We’ll never know.
Thats unique! Where did you find that?!
There are a few stands around New York City that sell these kinds of sculptures. You see them at holiday markets etc.
I love your mug!
My "Chinese money plant" which is a seedling of one I got some years ago from a good friend. It outgrew its mother by factor two. Also currently trying to make 4 new ones out of it.
All my attempts to grow a "pass it on" plant in the office failed badly. My plant was knocked over so many times that it was impossible to resurrect it :((
Someone has a green thumb 😉Also, love the Tardis!
This lovely Matrioshka that my mum knitted for me has come along with me in all my works since I almost started working with 21 years at a Bank Call Center.
10 years have past. In the meantime I reached a COO job position at a Real Estate company and later, CMO.
And I am saying all this, because I have decided to give everything up to restart my career as a Front-End Developer. So, these hard work studying days, this Matrioshka is beside me at my home's desk. But it will also hopefully be beside me in next work desk as a Developer :D.
That is such an awesome story! Thanks for sharing and way to go switching careers, that took guts!
The Obama bobblehead I got in Hawaii on my honeymoon. The GEICO bobblehead I got from my first professional job as a developer.
I also have photos of my family on my desk. The rest is clutter. 😅
Solid! Also, I spy a Site Reliability Workbook in the background 😃
Yes! A co-worker recently finished it and brought it to me yesterday. I haven't started going through it yet.
These are my friends who've helped me through many debugging sessions!
😍I have such a soft spot for stuffed animals!!!
It's stuffy!
I have this Lego telephone on my desk that I got from Twilio and is in red, which is our colour, and that I just think is a reminder of the work we do everyday in connecting people.
Also, I have this illustration that was drawn for me as one of the organisers of RubyConf Australia 2019 that I just love. It's a lovely representation of the community and also it's a train full of wombats and I love it.
A slinky and squishy potato cat--I fidget.
Country Bears Jamboree mug full of dark roast coffee.
And since I have no office door, a double-sided picture frame (that sits at the back of my desk) to tell coworkers when I'm "around somewhere" or "not here".
That picture frame is genius!!!! I love that idea!
Love this thread ❤️
My absolute favourite accessory is my calendar. I got it at my first dev job in 2007 and I still have it with me. I start my every work day by flipping over a cube.
Definitely my Keyboard
LOVE it!!! I never even thought of a keyboard, but some people have them so tricked out that many definitely count as accessories!
