# Ping Pong Notebooks These Notebooks Have Built-In Paddles to Facilitate Office Table Tennis By Cadhla Gray | Published 2015-10-21 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/office-table-tennis References: [toyland.gizmodo](http://toyland.gizmodo.com/table-tennis-notebooks-will-lead-to-impromptu-office-pi-1737550011) & [suck.uk](http://www.suck.uk.com/products/table-tennis-notebook/?category=new) These Suck UK notebooks are made to encourage office table tennis, making lunch breaks more fun, more competitive and definitely not more productive. The notebooks come in a set of three -- two with integrated paddles and one to represent the net. While the inside is a standard 100-paged pad of lined paper, the covers have built-in 3D paddles with the same rubber gripped material as real ping pong paddles. Each is a different color to represent opposing teams, while the net is simply printed onto the book. While ping pong balls are not included, the pack of three notebooks provide the rest for a game of office table tennis -- the only things needed are a table to play on and a crowd to cheer you on. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/toys) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Office Gaming Supplies:** Opportunity to create more office-friendly games and products to boost employee morale and productivity. - **Integrating Playfulness Into Products:** Opportunity to create products that incorporate elements of playfulness and fun to enhance user experience. - **Elevating Traditional Products:** Opportunity to reinvent and elevate traditional products by adding unique and unexpected features. ### Where This Applies - **Office Supplies:** Opportunity to expand the reach of the office supply industry by incorporating more fun and games into products. - **Product Design:** Opportunity for product designers to think outside the box and create unique and innovative products that incorporate elements of playfulness. - **Employee Engagement and Wellness:** Opportunity to improve employee engagement and wellness by providing innovative products that encourage movement and play during work hours. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artful Table Tennis Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nedj-ping-pong-tables.md) - [Desktop Miniature Sports Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desk-beach-volleyball.md) - [Magnetic Whiteboard Notebooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whiteboard-notebook.md) - [Modular Refillable Notebook Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/notebook-system.md) - [Leather-Bound Connected Notebooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/connected-notebooks.md) - [Korean Game-Inspired Desk Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playful-desk-accessories.md) - [Reusable Paper-Free Notebooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nuka-book.md) - [Modular Reusable Notebooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rocketbook-pro.md) - [Personal Portable Whiteboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-whiteboard-1.md)
