I�d like to revisit my desk briefly while I show you my decorative space-saver. As mentioned, I call it my �phone tree� and you can see it here:

The following elements are necessary to ensure a successful �phone tree�:

  • Decorative flora placed on a surface: A quick google search for �small artificial tree -christmas� turned up some nice looking trees and plants. From a little fern to a small cherry blossom tree I�m sure you can find a nice looking plant to tuck your phone into at any local hobby store as well.
  • Phone charger discreetly hidden into the plant: When not in use you don�t want an unsightly cable pertruding. You�re clever, find a cool way to hide it in there.
  • Headset or similar accessory/ies that may also keep a low profile: As you can see on my tree I can just lay the headset over the tree �leaves� and it blends right in. In addition, I set my lint-free wipe cloth on the base. Now I can talk to people and use my freed-up hands to clean off smudges!

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed my ideas as much as I have. The tree is not only decorative but practical. If you decide to make your own tree be sure to leave a link in the comments.
