Promising review: "I would highly recommend the dry-erase desktop computer pad. It's way better than a bunch of Post-It notes everywhere. It snuggles between my keyboard and monitor. Plus, it's very convenient and my desk looks more professional without the clutter of reminder notes everywhere." —COLLEEN M

Promising review: "I was on the fence about this item, but finally decided to splurge on a little gift to myself. This makes so much difference in my comfort level at the office. I often have to leave my desk to visit other departments and hated coming back to cold coffee, tea, or hot cocoa. I especially stopped drinking tea because by the time you let your bag steep, it's cooled down. This product is simple but awesome, and it makes me super happy." —marymodern

Promising review: "This pillow has been a godsend. My boyfriend suffers from severe numbness in his left leg and severe sciatica pain. Within an hour of using this coccyx pillow, he said the numbness was essentially gone. I am so glad I found this pillow! I also suffer from back pain due to bad posture since I am sitting and leaning over for hours at a time running my own business. If you have sciatica pain, or back pain or really any pain associated with sitting for long periods of time, I implore you to get this item. I’m even going to get another one for my other office." —Kindle Customer

Promising review: "I regularly enter recipes into my cookbook software, and this little gizmo keeps the printed original standing straight and tall so it's easy to copy from. It would work well with a marked-up draft, or even to answer a letter. Takes up almost no desk space, and performs its specific function perfectly." —tmw925

Promising review: "These glasses are great. They look sharp, and they're not tinted so much that they alter color perception. I work in an office setting, and after just one day of wearing these glasses I noticed an improvement in my eye health. My eyes no longer hurt, water, itch, or feel bleached out after staring at a computer screen for hours on end. I highly recommended!" —Ariele Monzo

Promising review: "I've used this exact model for four years now, six to eight hours a day and every single weekday (I'm a cold person, sue me). I haven't had any issues with tripping the office's breakers (and all my co-workers use heaters). This is meant to be by your side or aimed at your hands/feet, and has been the perfect solution for keeping my extremities warm without having to heat my entire office up. I even use this in the summer, when the rest of the office has the AC blasting." —Steph

Promising review: "I love my memo board! I was able to attach it to my computer monitor with no issues, and after weeks of use, it still remains securely attached. The materials are sturdy feeling, no bending or warping of any kind. I've got all my important reminders on it, which has been super helpful and keeps me from missing any important deadlines. I've also been able to write on it with a dry erase marker, and then wipe it off with a tissue. Many of my coworkers have commented on how useful it seems and have said they would be purchasing their own." —razorsharp77
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in three styles).
Promising review: "This product is effective, useful, not to mention... adorable!! I used it right away on my desk to get rid of eraser bits and it cleaned it right up. It's small enough so it doesn't take that much space and it's stylish. I love it so much! I really recommend it." —Mitzy Lopez

Promising review: "A few of my coworkers chipped in and bought our department mascot, whom we've dubbed 'Larry' the Llama. We love this little guy! And bonus: He's quite functional. Our desks get pretty dusty, and Larry helps get all that muck off our desks. He's adorably handsome. He can be bent into three different positions: 90 degrees, 45 degrees, and completely straight. This makes him more effective at cleaning our desks, and allows him to be positioned in few different ways when he's just chilling out watching us work." –Vegan-ish Mom Geek

Promising review: "I work at a desk about 11–12 hours a day with TONS of typing. Since using these, I've noticed less pain and strain in my wrists and hands, and they are also a great stress reliever. I've got people at my office hooked. I really like the yellow and red one, but I have smaller, weaker hands so I'm working my way up to the firmest blue one. In terms of the size, I also think they're perfect. Pretty much what I expected, I think they're totally worth the price." —Petite Loeb

The soft bristles help sweep away dust and crumbs. Plus, the bristles retract for optimal storage.
Promising review: "I was quite surprised at the quality of this little cleaning tool. The brush is super soft and very useful for swishing dust and food debris (glad you can't see me blushing...) off the keyboard. And the pointed rubber end works great for spots on the screen as when one sneezes abruptly (and have food in one's mouth... more blushing). On top of this the brush mechanism can be retracted so it doesn't fray or the filaments don't get bent. A lot of good for such a little thing!" —Trish Fitzpatrick

These are a god send for anyone that works in an open-concept office.
Promising review: "These are my favorite headphones. I bought these to use at my office. The noise cancelling when playing music pretty much drowns out all other sounds so I can focus on my work. My co worker, who is an extreme audiophile, listened to them and was very impressed by the sound. I usually plug them in before I leave for the day, so I haven't had the chance to truly test the battery life, but I haven't gotten a low battery alert during the day. It would be nice if they folded up more, but that's okay." —Scott

Promising review: "If you're like me, you got those nosy coworkers who like to peer at your monitors as they walk by. Listen, if I wanna be on BuzzFeed all day checking out what kind of pizza I am, that's my business, not yours. Tired of clicking the minimize button at every sound of movement in the cubicles behind me, I finally plunked down the $$ and bought two privacy screens and OH MY GOD THE FREEDOM!!!!! These things are AMAZING!!! I can literally be checking Facebook with my boss standing to the right of me and she has no clue what I'm doing." —Erin

Promising review: "This is the best fan for my desk ever. Whoever worked my desk before me left a 4" Hawaiian breeze fan, and it was so terrible. It made a bunch of noise and was ugly. This fan is great! It plugs right into the USB port on my desk top at work, and it is so quiet (compared to my previous one) so it doesn't bug anyone in the cubicle next to me." –Lauren Bolton
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in pink, blue, and black).
Promising review: "This product is brilliant. It gives me the opportunity to stretch my legs when I work. I’ve tried a few of these items from different vendors but was unsatisfied because they didn’t have an acceptable mounting option for my particular office desk setup — until now. This one has easy hooks on the sides, which are versatile and are perfect for my particular situation. Now, the extra hours will be more enjoyable." —E

Promising review: "I am not sure how people can hate this. It is so simple. It required no setup and the magnets that hold the bottom compartment on are strong. I literally did zero work for this product to help me out so much in my everyday life. It clears up my desk clutter and charges my electronics. Plus, it looks and feels quality for the price without paying a crazy amount for such a simple concept. I use an iPad Air, an iPhone 6s, and an iPhone 7. Because I work from home, my work and personal electronic have to mix but stay organized. This holds them all. I don't have a problems with it not holding phones or anything like others have mentioned." —Rachel R

I mean, I spent about three years in college using the left shift key because my right one didn't work from water damage. If only I had had this cover then...*sigh*. This one is compatible with a 13 or 15 inch MacBook with or without retina display.

Promising review: "These sticky notes are excellent. The colors are quite bright and the tabs are neat and noticeable at any angle. I think every student or teacher should own these, and businesspeople should too. They're extremely useful for taking down important notes, planning, and generally recording important information in a place that won't get lost in your planner or notebook. I'll keep these in my book bag and definitely repurchase as soon as I'm close to running out." —malik

Promising review: "I absolutely love my Zenergy Ball. I have been using it daily for months at work, and it has done wonder for my posture, completely eliminating the shoulder pain I used to always have. I am 5'4, and the height is perfect for me. I am extremely happy with my purchase." —Shan
