Personal Stuff at work
What do you keep at your desk or office that's personal and nonwork related?
here's mine:
Deodorant - you never know 
coffee pods for our Keurig
tissues
gum
oatmeal packets
nail filer
lots of pics of my boys, wedding pic, etc
Gummy Vitamins
Disinfecting Wipes - always cleaning my desk
Cold Med and throat drops
tea
honey
plastic spoons and forks - they provide, but always running low
candles - I never light, but like the smell
femine products - you never know
chapstick
ETA - forgot lotion, hair ties and Purell hand sanitizer
Everything else is work related. Even the stressballs and other cute pens since I'm in marketing I always have extra of that stuff.

Re: Personal Stuff at work
As I look around:
Radio/Ipod charger
Picture frame trio
Home made picture frame from my daughter
Hand print art work from my daughter
Aromatherapy Hand Lotion
Food Stuffs:
Kashi bars (quick snack)
Dark Hot chocolate kcups
Kashi Cereal
Unsalted/Raw California Almonds (if im lucky)
From our Vendors kept at my desk marketing materials they give out free (Swag):
Chapstick
Hand sanitizer
Sewing kit
First aid kit (band aids and such)
Nail kit
Coffee Mug and Cold Tea cup
Is it work related I keep my dress shoes at work (old habit from NY)?
I also keep an ‘office sweater’ here too
I’ve been laid off twice. Its amazing what that does to your confidence. I’ve worked for this company for 5yrs. 3yrs in this office yet I can ‘pack it up’ in less than 10mins and fit it all into a generic grocery bag.
ETA: forgot i have a toothbrush and tooth paste (dentist samples) for the office and a barely touched box of tampons I haven't had to use since I got my IUD

Re: Personal Stuff at work
Very minimal - only a digital picture frame, some pesonal toiletries in a makeup bag (Advil, tampons, tissues) a portable radio and my iPhone charger.
I learned the hard way not to keep too much personal stuff in my office because I got canned once many moons ago from a shady company and was forced to clean out my desk in 45 minutes before being escorted out the building by security!!!

Re: Personal Stuff at work
Everything
My sister and I work for our father's company and we bring the kids along. You'd probably faint if you saw the state of this place. There are toys everywhere, a diaper changing station set up and a microwave, sink and mini fridge.
We have a large area to ourselves that cannot be see unless you open a door that's past a big storage cabinet at the end of a hall.
Of my own things I have tic tacs, some pictures (DDs and DH and my niece) I have a file folder with some personal stuff (receipts, bills, etc.) that I need to not lose, several hand creams, coffee mug, diet soda, sauce packets

Re: Personal Stuff at work
I've been here for 7 years so I've accumulated a lot of stuff. I've already told the admin to our group that if I ever get canned, she's the only one allowed to get my personal stuff from my desk!
