Does my butt look big in this? Now this little gizmo could only have been invented in America. And named by an American. Or someone with no sense of British sarcasm. (But then again, calling it the 'Arse Station' doesn't quite have the same ring. So perhaps it's honours even in the naming stakes.)

Once you're past the name, it turns out that this brightly coloured magnetic, err, Butt Station is the perfect receptacle for all manner of office detritus including paperclips, pens, sticky tape, and notelets or business cards. It even has a little cutter for those stickier moments. It is, in short, a desk tidy.

The manufacturers claim it has all manner of conversation-enhancing prowess. And we have to admit it has, at 5 inches tall (in the sitting position), a certain presence on one's desk. Perhaps even an art deco feel, if you're that way inclined. It's eye catching, if nothing else.

But there's no way round disguising the fact that the Butt Station has, as its centrepiece, a flexible plastic model of a man on the loo. There. We said it. And this is likely to be the A-Grade benefit next time it's the birthday of the notoriously hard-to-buy-for colleague in the office. Or whenever Secret Santa turns nasty.

Buy this and be flushed with success. Yes, we really couldn't resist.
