I am a huge fan of ThinkGeek.  Not only do they usually have some of the funkiest, coolest products you can buy, but whoever writes their product descriptions is worth his weight in fried gold.  Check out the description for the LED Jellyfish Mood Lamp and try to argue with me.

Blackbeard was just about the most ruthless pirate ever.  His management style was unique, to say the least.  If one of his crew misbehaved, he would drop them in a large tank full of jellyfish and delight as the jewels he kept at the bottom of the tank reflected different colors into the ballet of agony that played out before him.  According to the infamous pirate’s diaries, it really calmed his nerves, too.  Wow.  Well, while we don’t recommend all that for your office, there is something we can take from this story: colorful jellyfish are relaxing.

This desktop tank holds three jellyfish which "swim" around the tank (thanks to a gently contrived current). In the top of the tank are 6 bright LEDs, which let you set the mood. You can either have them blend softly from one color to the next, or stop on your favorite color.  Either way, the jellies are happy to frolic in their kaleidoscopic, quiet menace.  And if one of your subordinates ever acts up, just remind him or her about the Blackbeard story…and let them know there’s room in your jellyfish tank for a hand or two.  Sometimes threats are all you need. Arrrgh.

Now THAT is a great product description (and a great product, too.)  Just try to say that’s not relaxing.  Go on, I dare you.  More importantly, Blackbeard dares you!
