It’s Friday—the kind of day where you half-ass it and daydream until quittin’ time. These “Find It” desktop games will make the time past faster and ensure that you are never tempted to do any real work. Inside each tube there are 40 items hidden among a mass of multi-colored plastic pellets. The items to be found in each tube focus on a central theme, like sports, the zoo, the beach and birds. The game also includes a check off pad to keep track of your findings. An additional image is available after the break.

The advantage to the baseball-themed plunger is that if the toilet isn’t cooperating, that bat in your hand may come in awfully handy.

The Summer Games are officially underway and collectors are busy grabbing every pin and plush doll they can get their hands on. However, the crown jewel of collectibles from Beijing has to be these official Olympic torch replicas. The IOC has granted a limited edition 200,000 run of the torches which have also been certified by the Beijing Notary Office. The torch itself is constructed out of leftover steel from the “Birds Nest” while the base is carved from crystal and features a laser-printed line map that illustrates the route of the controversial torch relay.
