Charging Charlie Cord Holder Keeps Your Wires Neat and Ready to Use

— February 28, 2012 — Unique
It can get highly annoying when multiple wires are sitting precariously on the edge of one's work desk and manage to fall at the exact moment that one goes to reach for them. Well curse no more, for the Charging Charlie cord holder will ensure one's wires are held exactly where they are wanted and they aren't held up by just anybody. No, Charlie is a firefighter taken off the streets to become a savior of the work table.

Offering a comedic pose as if holding a hose, the Charging Charlie cord holder looks as if he is putting out a fire with the wire in his arms. I'm not too sure how effective his desk promotion would be on the streets, but this figurine is sure to keep one's work station looking neat while adding a little life to a normally dull environment.
