We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A bamboo monitor stand that not only brings their computer to a better height (to help you avoid neck and eye strain), but also has convenient storage space for the random things on their desk.
2. Or an adjustable wood shelf to put next to their computer and keep any books or materials they need (or just want) close by and at the ready.
3. A storm cloud weather predictor with crystals inside that react to different weather conditions, so not only will it look really nice sitting on their desk, but it will also keep them updated on what's happening outside, so they know if they can take that lunch break walk or not.
4. A USB-powered cooling pad for anyone whose laptop starts to sounds like a plane is taking off after working for, oh, approximately five minutes. This gadget has three fans in it to keep their computer calm, cool, and collected, so they can get their work done without much of a hassle.
5. A set of gold-tone cable organizers for organizing all the cords on their desk so they don't have to spend 10 minutes fishing out their computer charging cord that fell behind their desk...again. Plus, this gold style won't stick out like a sore thumb among the other thing on their desk.
6. A wall charger with six outlets *and* two USB fast-charging ports to keep all of their devices and accessories at 100%, and from dying in the middle of their important team meeting.
7. A small and cool color-changing diffuser they can use with essential oils to help reduce the stress that comes with working a 9 to 5 (or whatever hours their job is).
8. A Rocketbook smart-reusable notebook that takes their handwritten notes and makes them digital so when their boss asks for a recap of that meeting in their one-on-one, they can send it as an attachment and look super on top of everything, which *may lead to them getting that raise/promotion they've been wanting...all because of this great gift.
9. An all-in-one desk organizer "vault" filled with a ton of different compartments, drawers, and pockets they can fill with whatever is covering their desk. It folds up easily so they can put it out of sight and mind once Friday at 5 p.m. rolls around.
10. A sport-brella designed with SPF 50+ and a universal clamp, so it's actually a really great way for them to be able to work outside in the warmer months without their laptop overheating and the sun making it nearly impossible to see the screen.
11. A glass dry-erase desktop whiteboard they can write their important reminders and "I CAN'T FORGET" notes on instead of using scraps of paper that end up getting lost approximately 30 seconds later.
12. An adjustable standing desk because if they've been working from home since March 2020 (or earlier) and haven't invested in a good desk, they'll be so very thankful to finally have an actual space to get their work done. This baby is well worth it. Not only can they customize the height (and move it up and down during the day as they please), but it can hold up to 275 pounds, is water and scratch-resistant, and has an included cable tray to keep your desk free and clear of cords.
13. Or a standing desk converter if they already have a great workspace but want to be able to turn it into a standing desk throughout the day and make the workspace work from them.
14. A Takeya cold brew maker so they can easily pour themselves a glass at 3 p.m. when they normally might have taken a trip to the nearest coffee shop.
15. A folding wall organizer they can put all their important documents in and then grab when needed, instead of searching through that pile that's been sitting on their desk for wayyy too long.
16. A pastel mug warmer that regulates the temperature of their coffee or tea so they can nurse their drink for hours without sipping an ice-cold beverage.
17. A privacy sign great for anyone working from a full house where people like to barge in even when the door is closed.
18. A memory foam chair cushion with a nonslip rubber bottom to ensure they'll be comfortable all day long — it won't move around when they get up every once and a while to stretch their legs (and maybe pet their dog).
19. A multi-device wireless charger with a simple and sleek design that's actually really practical because they can charge their phone and headphones at the same time so neither die during that extra-long meeting they're in (that could have totally been an email).
20. A clip-on ring light that'll give them professional-quality lighting for photos and videos in any setting. They can take well-lit Instagram Reels and TikToks with their smartphone, even if they're in a really dark room and don't have natural lighting to work with.
21. A velvet open-back office chair that'll not only add a sleek and sophisticated look to their office but also be a comfortable place for them to sit for eight hours a day.
22. A mesh desk organizer with a three-compartment sliding drawer, tray, and five upright sections designed to fit SO much more than they think it can and make their desk feel clean (for once!).
23. A two-tier folding desk perfect for anyone who doesn't have a ton of room for a desk but still wants a designated workspace. Bonus: This one can be folded up and stashed away easily after the workweek is over.
24. Or a lap desk if they don't have space for a desk at all. Or just want an option that lets them take their desk from the couch to the bed and back again. This one basically has all the cool features — a built-in mouse and wrist pad as well as a phone and tablet holder.
25. A daily planner to help them really get down to business and focus on what they need to accomplish every day. It has a place for their top priorities, to-do list, appointments, health and fitness, meal planning, accomplishments, and even a place to doodle during their longest meeting. So essentially this will be your new assistant.
26. A soundproofing strip to help block out all the surrounding noise so their coworkers can actually hear them speak instead of just the neighbor's dog barking.
27. A shortcut keyboard cover here to make it super easy for them to remember all the shortcuts for Adobe Photoshop, Final Cut Pro X, and more so they don't have to have 50 Post-it notes with every shortcut cluttering up their space.
28. A laptop stand to take their productivity to ~new heights~. JK, we can't guarantee it will do that, but it will help improve their posture and make it so they're not straining their eyes as much. Both will help them feel better at the end of the day.
29. A cord box to transform that tangled mess of wires into a nice orderly setup. Their desk will feel less cluttered so they can breathe a little easier.
30. A sunlamp designed to mimic the benefits of sunlight to improve their mood and reset their circadian rhythm, which is beneficial if they work off hours or just can't seem to find time to get outside.
31. A double-sided electronics cleaning brush that'll give their computer a good deep clean because when they work where they live, sometimes their laptop becomes a movie screen at night where a few popcorn crumbs somehow get into the keyboard. 🤷🏻♀️
32. A portable dual monitor for anyone who didn't realize they'd be working from home this long and misses their dual screens dearly. This device attaches to their laptop so they have double the space to spread out their work. Plus, they can easily move it from room to room or on a trip where they're "working" remotely from a different place.
33. A reversible waterproof desk mat they can put on your table if they really have no place at all for a desk so they can at least make it feel like they're working from one.
34. Or a large patterned version if they prefer to add a little more spunk to their workspace but also protect the area and make it easier to use a mouse.
35. A set of sleek nesting trays they can use together or separately as a place to set miscellaneous items (such as extra pens or even AirPods).
36. A rolling desk bike that's a viral TikTok sensation for a reason — it will keep them active and moving all day while saying comfortable enough to get their work done. Just imagine the places they'll go with this thing.
37. Or an under-desk walking pad so they can ~work up a sweat~ while they work at a desk. Slide this piece of equipment under a standing desk and they'll get to walk a mile (or two, or three!) during virtual meetings. Can't do a loop around their block because it's cold out? No problem, they can still stay active throughout your shift.
This walking pad has six speed levels and goes up to 4 mph, so you can do a chill walk *or* a brisk jog while you work at a standing desk! It's also remote-controllable and you can easily slide it under a bed or couch when you're done using it.
Promising review: "I love this thing! It got delivered yesterday. Earlier than expected and it's perfect for my home office setup. I work remotely and long hours, so have a hard time getting out. I did over 2 miles yesterday and am already on it this morning. Highly recommend and easy to set up. Literally, take it out of the box, plug in, and use the remote." —Allison K. Hughes
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping; see Amazon's full shipping information for non-Prime users here.
Get it from Amazon for $299.99 (available in three colors).
38. ORRR a balance ball chair to help them ~balance~ it all (i.e., getting work done and strengthening their core at the same time). Multitasking at its finest.
39. Some Monkey Noodles, which may sound and look like a toy, well, because they are. They can stretch, pull, twirl, wrap, and squeeze this sensory toy to help them stay calm and focused during long team meetings and confrences calls.
40. A pair of blue-light-blocking glasses that can help reduce the eye strain and headaches brought on by staring at a screen all day. The fact that they're super cute is just an added bonus!
Promising review: “I absolutely love this product!! I use my laptop to do most of my work, so I'm constantly staring at my screen. After two weeks, I noticed my eyes were straining to read the screen and I began having migraines. Within a couple of days of using these glasses, I saw huge results. I wasn't squinting as much and my headaches gradually disappeared. I highly recommend.” —dannag

Get two pairs of glasses from Amazon for $15.98+ (available in eight color combinations).
41. A USB-powered mini cactus humidifier to sit on their desktop and replenish their vitality on those particularly ~draining~ work days.
Promising review: "I LOVE these little humidifiers! I bought my first one to use at my desk at work, because the air is so dry in the building, and it has been a godsend. Not only does it help keep my sinuses happier, but it looks great too. I bought a second one for my nightstand that I use while I sleep at night, and they both work perfectly." —Selene Schneider
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping; see Amazon's full shipping information for non-Prime users here.
Get it from Amazon for $13.89 (available in three colors).
42. A splurge-worthy high-tech office chair complete with adjustable lumbar support, a heating pad, and I can't forget the best part — MASSAGE SETTINGS!!! Yes, that means that this chair can work for them during the workday. How cool is that?
43. Or a TikTok-famous padded office chair because they can be chic *and* comfy while they take care of work-related tasks. This chair looks so darn good and has great functional features, including an ergonomic mid back and a spacious seat where they can sit with their legs crossed. Plus, they can adjust the height!
Check it out on TikTok here!
Promising review: "Buy this chair. I’ve bought so many office chairs over the years. The classic Goldilocks story— this one’s too bulky, this one’s too flimsy, that one has too much hard plastic… yada yada. I think this one might be it. Really comfortable, solid build, attractive but the best feature is the wide seat. I can criss-cross my legs easily to relieve the pressure in my hips which is life changing if you’re chained to your desk sitting in meetings all day." —Larissa Harrison
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping; see Amazon's full shipping information for non-Prime users here.
Get it from Amazon for $191.99.
44. A pair of wireless Bluetooth earbuds thousands of reviewers swear by for their comfort and sound quality. They provide four-plus hours of play on a single charge, help tune out annoying noise, and are waterproof. Plus, they cost a fraction of the price of AirPods.
Each pair comes with a wireless charging case, so you can power them up on the go!
Promising review: "I never leave reviews, but I've been on the hunt for a pair of wireless buds forever without having to pay the AirPod price and I finally found them! I saw these on a BuzzFeed article. I put left them in my cart for ages and finally bought them the other day. I wasn't hopeful and figured I could return them if I hated them but let me tell you. I work from home and I used them all day for work on Zoom calls yesterday, an hour-long phone therapy session, and another few hours of work after that. Throughout the day there was no crackle or static, no dropped sound, everyone said they could hear me very clearly, and with a house full of people and a crying baby — I heard almost NOTHING. They easily connected to my phone and my computer. And at the end of the day I still had 40% battery left." —Ceton Tate
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping; see Amazon's full shipping information for non-Prime users here.
Get it from Amazon $24.99 (available in five colors).
45. Or a pair of wireless Bluetooth headphones with tech features they'll LOVE, like adjustable bass controls and up to 40 (!!!) hours of battery time. They can rock out to their favorite Spotify playlist in between team meetings and updating spreadsheets — the sound will be so next-level, they'll feel like they're at a concert even though they're actually sitting at a desk.
These headphones also come with a matching carrying case!
BuzzFeed editor Amanda Davis adores these headphones and said: "I've never been much of an over-the-ear headphone wearer. They're usually too bulky, too uncomfortable, and a little too heavy for my taste. But these Skullcandy Crusher Evo headphones?? OMG. It's confirmed I've been listening to music all wrong, because the bass feature on these headphones is amazing. It doesn't ruin the quality of sound AT ALL, and only enhances it (like, a lot). And it can be adjusted for comfort if a song is too bass-heavy or not enough. I wear them while working at my desk, and find myself dancing to the beat way more (what better way to WFH, right?). The best part is that I can wear them for hours at a time without discomfort. Even when I wear them during workouts, they remain comfortable no matter how much I move around. I recently wore them on a three hour flight as opposed to my usual ear pods, and I was able to cut out the crying babies and listen to my playlists and podcasts in peace. They easily connect to both my phone and laptop, and I only charge them once about every two weeks. Trust me, these are well worth the investment!"
Promising review: "Truly amazed with how great the experience is when listening to music with these! If you want a head rattle from the sensory bass, they got it! If you want loud volume to block out the noise of everyday life, no problem! Skullcandy nailed it with these and made me have to send back my Beats Studio 3 and Sony XM3s within days of using these bad boys. BUY THEM NOW!!!" —Devin Gibson

46. A wearable Sherpa hooded blanket also known as The Comfy from Shark Tank. If they want to be extra cozy while they work, this snuggly companion will get the job done. When they slip it on, they'll feel like they're living in their own hygge dream, thanks to a soft hood lined with faux-sherpa material.
Kayla Boyd, an editor here at BuzzFeed, also owns this and can't get enough: "I LOVE this thing. It allows you to literally wrap yourself in a blanket, but still be able to use your hands, without your poor arm suffering in the cold breeze. I wear this while working from home, watching Netflix, and while taking naps. It's so comfy that there have been times I don't want to take it off when I have to run to the store — the only reason I do is because I don't want it to get dirty. I can't imagine one person who wouldn't be happy to have this wonderful bundle of coziness."
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping; see Amazon's full shipping information for non-Prime users here.
Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in 20 colors).
47. A felt letter board for leaving little reminders like "You got this." or "TAKE A DANG BREAK!" when they're having a busy-as-heck day in their home office-meets-living room. In between back-to-back calls and end-of-year reports, they can still glance at this cute piece of decor for some motivation and inspiration.
Each letter board comes with 300 letters and characters.
Promising review: "I love this letter board. It fits perfectly on my desk and everyone loves coming over and changing the phrases. The letter and number selection was plentiful and I have not run out of letters yet. It even comes with punctuation and various symbols (like $, #, &, and many others). Great purchase for the price." —Ashley
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping; see Amazon's full shipping information for non-Prime users here.
Get it from Amazon for $20.95+ (available in four sizes and 27 colors).
48. Compression gloves to help keep their hands comfy while they work from home. They'll appreciate these accessories if they're typing on a laptop and tend to get achy fingers. They won't say "OUCH" every time they hit the space, delete, or return keys.
Promising review: "I work from home and type all day. Although I don't think I have full blown arthritis, my hands are usually cold in the morning and my joints do ache a bit until they warm up! The gloves are breathable, but add a small layer of insulation that helps warm my joints faster! These gloves absolutely helped ease the discomfort, and having open fingertips helps so I don't lose tactile function while wearing them!" —Eric
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping; see Amazon's full shipping information for non-Prime users here.
Get a pair from Amazon for $9.97 (available in three sizes).
49. And a set of memory foam gel pads that are like soft pillows for their wrists. Clicking and typing will be a little bit better, especially if they're sitting in the same work spot for a long time. Cramping will not get in the way of their work flow.
It comes in two pieces — one you can prop in front of your keyboard, and the other in front of your mouse.
Promising reviews: "I've been working from home and began experiencing wrist pain. The soft cushion from both items provided the relief I needed. Great products and price!" —Gaga2015
"Having worked from home for almost a year now without any ergonomic cushion, I finally decided to buy this and so glad I did. They come with stickers that you can place to avoid movement but so far they don't seem necessary...The mouse pad cushion feels perfect! I appreciate not having the ball of my palm resting against a hard surface all day long. This also isn't sliding around on the desk. Feels perfect. These cushions have a great memory foam feel but not so much that they are very sensitive to the touch, they mostly keep their shape." —UAstudentn
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping; see Amazon's full shipping information for non-Prime users here.
Get it from Amazon for $13.96+ (available in 16 colors).
50. A charging cable tag because it'll let everyone know, including family visiting for the holidays, which Android or iPhone charging cable is theirs and (hopefully) prevent them from "borrowing it" indefinitely. Never again will they have to ask, "where is my phone charger?" if they're working from home.
Delightful Luna is an Etsy shop based in North Carolina. They sell cool 3D-printed accessories, including magnets, keychains, and pen caps.
Promising review: "They are perfect! Now my bf won’t steal my charger anymore. They clip so well!" —Etsy Customer
Shipping Info: Shipping is free for orders $35+ ($4.21 for orders under $35). Check the estimated arrival dates on the page before adding it to your cart.
Get it from Delightful Luna on Etsy for $5.25 (available in two charger types and 18 colors).
51. A rotating timer to help them focus and take breaks whenever they need to step away from a computer screen. If they find themselves scrolling through way too many holiday TikToks and not staying productive, this tool can help them out during the winter season and beyond.
Here's how it works: Rotate it to the time you'd like to set a timer for (5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes, or 30 minutes) and it'll start a countdown. It also comes with four adjustable volume levels, in case you're not the only one working from home.
Promising review: "I love this timer to keep me on task while working from home! For the price, I was honestly impressed with the quality. My only suggestion would be an option for the display to stay backlit. You can press the snooze button on top to light the display for about five seconds, but that’s not super convenient if you have it rotated in timer mode, plus you have to actively press the button rather than just glancing at how much time is left. Honestly, this is a very small quibble that I could fix simply by not working in a dimly lit room, but it’s really the only critique I have. All in all, this is a fun and functional desk accessory!" —Angela Reiber
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping; see Amazon's full shipping information for non-Prime users here.
Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in 30- and 60-minute configurations and two colors).
52. And a desktop dry erase board perfect for jotting down quick reminders and notes, including when they'll be OOO *or* the date of their Secret Santa exchange. Instead of turning their computer screen into a cluttered Post-It display, they can use one of these to keep track of important things.
It also comes with a dry-erase marker!
Promising review: "OMG where was this 20 years ago?I have ADHD and would always misplace to do lists, or misplace clipboards with reminders on them. They would get lost in the shuffle. Smartphone reminders are more of a hassle than they are worth with some informal lists that you think of spur of the moment (though sometimes they are great). Unlike other boards, I can put this in front of my FACE under the computer screen so I never overlook or forget it like every other system I've ever used in my life. This acts like a much more stylish and effective anchor or central 'office' for my quick VIP reminders. THANK YOU! I just wish ya had invented it 20 years ago!" —D Louis
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping; see Amazon's full shipping information for non-Prime users here.
Get it from Amazon for $28.55+ (available in five colors).
Maybe with that 'Do Not Disturb' sign on their door, this won't happen every time they go into a meeting!
