Yeah, you want to be one; but with papers fluttering all over your office, you don’t even have room to crack your whip. That’s sad. I’m here to help you get your shit together in the new year.
This week, misosouper and Knock Knock are gifting one lucky winner with an entire set of their task clips–48 in all. These bright, shiny Utility, Timing, Importance, and Poopy butterfly doohickeys will, in Knock Knock’s words, let you “appear more productive than you actually are” and “look good without getting much done.” (I swear, it’s as if Knock Knock’s creative department burrowed deep into my brain, sucked out the marrow, and plagiarized the mantras of my life. Oprah I’m not. {Even though I love you Oprah, and if you called me, I’d be on the next plane to your show. We could give away Knock Knock clips like you gave away cars: one for you, and for you…})
To win, leave a comment on this post, explaining which Knock Knock gift you’d most like to give, to whom you’d give it, and why. (No space/word/character limits this time. It’s a free for all!) And these better be funny, people, considering you’re writing about a company that sells products like the “Things You Do That Piss Me Off” notepad, the “Sex Report Card” magnet, the “How To Traumatize Your Children” manual, and the Choose Your Religion Wheel O’ Wisdom.
And you better not Paper Voodoo doll me to win this thing, either. Chances are I’m cursing my disheveled desk, staring longingly at my patent whip, and weeping over the fact that I’ll never be on Oprah, paper voodooing you right back.
the fine print:
Comments will be closed and entries will not be accepted after 11:59 pm EST on Saturday, January 24, 2009. The winner will be selected on Sunday, January 25, 2009, and notified by e-mail. Results of the giveaway will be announced on Monday, January 26, 2009. Multiple entries will not be accepted, and previous giveaway winners are not eligible. Misosouper, a shopping blog reserves the right to disqualify entries that are incomplete, inaccurate, or considered spam.

LOVE their stuff, and am a total binder-clip whore! I love the Information Central Paper Mousepad, which I’d give to myself for use at my new job (especially since I don’t have a mousepad). I’d be funnier with this entry, but today’s my birthday, so I am conserving all my funny for cake-eating and wrinkle-counting. Thank MLK that I have the day off to devote to both — I promise to be funnier (and older) tomorrow.

Sex Flashcards ok for my boyfriend and I—ok for my husband and I to try and have a little fun but that voodoo doll thing is a good idea but use it on mil

What a great site. There’s so many cute and some really useful items. I love the Paper Voodoo Pad and I love the Things to get list.
Thanks so much for this giveaway.

My pick is the “Stuff/Docs/Bills File Folder”(Style #:70200). Perhaps that would help cure my disorganized orientation.
January 19th, 2009 at 3:33 pm
I love the Crap folders. Too cute.
January 19th, 2009 at 11:19 pm
i’d give the How to Traumatize Your Children book to my sister and her husband, they’re Book Parents – you know what i mean
January 20th, 2009 at 3:00 am
OK so I am the best worst liar! I’d have to get myself the Excuses & Lies for All Occasions book at KnockKnock. This way, I can prepare myself for my upcoming lies (and you know there will be a time when you just GOTTA lie). Trust me, if I don’t get this book and rehearse, the next time I’m forced to tell a lie I’ll end up twitching and looking all shifty like I just stole someone’s Christmas ham. I.need.this.book!

I love the “Timing” task clips. I need those because I’ll go into my office, sort everything in to piles of various sizes. Then come back in a day or two and totally forget what pile I needed to do what with….these would help.
January 20th, 2009 at 7:58 pm
I would like to give my boss the shit list pad.
January 21st, 2009 at 12:20 pm
I’d love the “How to drive like a maniac” book for my husband. He has a serious case of chronic road rage.
January 21st, 2009 at 6:07 pm
I would love to give the Overpaid/Underpaid Totable to my best friend at work. She works hard but because not in the “boy’s club” is never recognized.
January 21st, 2009 at 11:52 pm
I would love to give the Decision kit to my mother. She can’t make a decision about anything. If we’re out and I ask her where she’d like to eat, she’ll say “I’ll pick three places and you pick from there.” She NEVER makes a decision.

I’d give the Compliments of the Chef Bundle to my boyfriend because he’s just starting to learn how to cook and he loves it!
January 23rd, 2009 at 2:42 am
I’ve got to have the “You’re a Putz” sticky notes. Due to budget cuts, we recently got an email that they’re refusing to buy sticky notes anymore for the ladies in the office. We’ll have to purchase our own. That’s no surprise since these are the same people that swear we were stealing the toilet paper…like I want to take home their scratchy, baboon-butt inducing, cheap-ass paper.
January 23rd, 2009 at 9:46 am
Thank you for the information and review~! Much appreciated. My pick: I love the decision kit. It would awesome to use at work
Have an awesome day! Amy (amyinkamloops@gmail.com)

I would like the Bar Bingo for my friend who is a bartender. When we go out on her nights off, she is always identifying the “types.” She would have a ball with this!
January 23rd, 2009 at 4:45 pm
I am indulging in cooking, so the Compliments of the Chef package would be fun!
January 23rd, 2009 at 9:33 pm
The Complete Manual of Things that Might Kill You would be a great gift for my hypochondriac friends, as well as my mother. Well, at least _I’D_ get a good laugh out of it.
January 23rd, 2009 at 11:02 pm
The “Complete Manual of Things that Might Kill You” is a winner,
For my hypochondriac husband that never makes dinner.
He’s constantly wondering if he has a disease,
The plague? West Nile? Oh, give me a break, please!
If he ever gets something, I really do wonder,
If I wouldn’t believe him, that’d be a blunder.
But I hardly doubt it, he’s as strong as a horse,
Which he thinks must means something, like bora bora or worse.
This manual should help him to get a grip on life,
And maybe, just maybe, there’ll be less marital strife!
January 23rd, 2009 at 11:55 pm
The Daily Mood Tracker Paper Mousepad would be perfect for my husband who says he can’t keep track of my changing moods
January 24th, 2009 at 1:56 am
I would like the Useless/Nothing/Nosy File Folders. We have a bunch of blowhards at work who have to have a meeting for everything, no matter how trivial. The useless documents to prove my importance during meetings folder would be a great way to subtly tell them what I really think!
January 24th, 2009 at 5:59 am
The voodoo doll notepad. I’d give it to my friend at work because we both agree on people we can’t stand!
January 24th, 2009 at 6:35 am
Ha! These products are hilarious…I’d love to send some of these binder clips around my law firm (and then be a fly on the wall when one of my partners discovers the saying on the side). But, by far, I love the Choose Your Religion Wheel o’ Wisdom and I’d be torn between sending it to my atheist father or to my 20-year old mentee who also happens to be a passionate Religious Studies major. I need two!
January 24th, 2009 at 8:38 am
I love the Why I Must Have Sex with You Pad. I’d give it to my husband for Valentine’s Day because it’s the gift that keeps on giving!!!
January 24th, 2009 at 10:35 am
I like the Trees/Paper/Landfill File Folders. So funny.
January 24th, 2009 at 11:18 am
id give the The Complete Manual of Things that Might Kill You to my hubby who is always taking dumbass risks
January 24th, 2009 at 11:39 am

My sister needs the Slang Flashcards because she’s very serious and knows nothing about slang that often times when we talk to her, we need to “translate” everything to proper language.
January 24th, 2009 at 8:00 pm
Their stuff is so funny. I would get the Crap File Folders for my husband…he would get a huge kick out of them!
January 24th, 2009 at 8:36 pm
i like the crap folders.
January 24th, 2009 at 9:32 pm
The Diagnose Your Neurosis Wheel o’ Wisdom is hilarious! I know several people who could use this. Maybe if they figure out their problems, they can get along with getting some help with them.
January 24th, 2009 at 9:39 pm
I would like to get my daughter the book “How to Drive Like a Maniac”.She
is always traveling for her job and this would lighten the load a little.
This is a very cool website.I found some many things I would love to have.
Thanks for the awesome giveaway
January 24th, 2009 at 9:49 pm
The Bitch Kit IS THE WON i WOULD CHOOSE FOR MY GIRLFRIEND gAILE.
