want it now: chirping bird paper clip holder
The summer is winding down and the winter months are creeping up on us. All those lucky little song birds will fly south to escape the snow while the rest of us are stuck here to suffer the sleety commute.

Not only is this little guy adorable, but he’ll punctuate any paper clip usage with a happy little chirp. –Katie D.

I ended up shoving a piece of plastic in the battery compartment to turn it off. You cannot remove the batteries in the ones I own.

Oh! I had one of these little guys and he chirped and chirped his little heart out… until the battery died. Now he lives on a coworker’s desk (she appreciates him even though he’s mute).
