Sharp-end

Cats' butts are funny. We've no idea why. And we agree that it's an incredibly crass opening statement for a quality site such as ours. But facts are facts and this one is inescapable.
Get you pencil rearly sharp
But why are your highbrow friends at Firebox discussing the jocular nature of the feline derrière? Take a look at the Sharp-end and you'll soon work it out. This utterly infantile novelty pencil sharpener has had us in stitches ever since we set eyes on it. In fact we had to send out for more pencils, such was its popularity.
Ideal for those with pet allergies
The idea - as if you needed an explanation - is to insert your pencil (ouch!) in the cat's rear end and give it a twist. The cat then lets out an indignant meow and the shavings fall neatly into the included litter box. Purr-fect!
There's something unfathomably funny about sticking your pencil where the sun don't shine, particularly when a cat is involved. After all they can be aloof little beasts, so what better way to wipe away that superior smirk than with a well-placed pencil.
Don't try this at home!
Me-ooooooooooooooow!
The Sharp-end makes an ideal desktop companion for anyone with a sense of humor. Yes, it's vulgar; yes, it's tacky; and yes, not many people even bother with pencils these days. But who cares about all that when the entire office is guffawing at your booty-based sharpening shenanigans?
Keep that kitty litter tray clean!
If Tom & Jerry were still around we feel sure that Tom would, by now, have already suffered the indignity of having a pencil shoved up his…well, you know. But they're not and he hasn't, so rejoice in the consummate silliness of the Sharp-end and get ordering. Meow!

Brilliant! These are great for the jokers and perfect desk companions. I customized mine with a few stickers and some permanent markers. Now everyone that wanders past my desk compliments me on my new pet! Thanks Firebox for another great find!x.

Fantastic! A very practical alternative to my pet cat's bum, but without the claws. Works a lot better too. Meow-ing does get a bit irritating after a while if it's one of those pencils where the lead just keeps breaking!

 | Desktop Warfare Kits
They won't obliterate castle walls or settle sieges, but our desktop Trebuchets and Ballistas are more than capable of causing mayhem in the office. What's more, assembling your ultra realistic wooden thingy flinger is almost as satisfying as watching it sling its payload at the boss.

 | Cassette Tape Dispenser
Audio tape sucked but cassettes remain icons of retro design. So hats off to the creators of these C90 style dispensers because each hard rubber 'cassette' reels off transparent tape as opposed to a hissy top 40 countdown from 1987. Ideal for music loving office workers.
