1. A set of adjustable desk shelves when you need more room to organize and decorate. Reviewers uses these desk shelves for books, supplies, plants, and more! Your WFH setup will *officially* be complete with these.
Promising reviews: "Super cute and functional! It seems really sturdy, holds all of my little things that had no place on my desk before, and looks great...I’m very happy I bought this." —Kimmy
"I found this product to be everything I had hoped for... ease of assembly, sturdy, attractive, well-made. I would not hesitate to purchase it again. Worth the money!" —Nanakay
Get them from Amazon for $25.99 (available in four colors).
2. A laptop stand you can put right on your desk. It makes any space much more work-friendly as the ergonomic design brings your laptop screen up to eye level while you sit! No more leaning down to see your laptop screen means less neck and shoulder strain.
Promising review: "This was recommended in an article about handling working from home during this COVID-19 stay-at-home requirement — since workspaces at home aren't as ergonomic as at work when it comes to eight-hour work days. It is SO worth it! It's incredibly sturdy. The laptop is now placed at a perfect angle. I bought a wireless keyboard which I can use with my laptop when the laptop is in the stand — and then at the end of my workday, I just slide my wireless keyboard under the laptop in the space created by the stand, and I regain that bit of space on my table. I love it. Add in the brushed silvery tone, and it has been a great investment for me." —Joe Mama
Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in 10 colors).
3. A set of memory foam gel pads that work as support for your wrists, giving them relief from being in the same position eight hours a day. They'll help prevent cramping and wrist pain, which can put a damper in anyone's work or gaming time.
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 due to COVID 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
Get it from Amazon for $13.96+ (available in 13 colors).
4. A gel-enhanced seat cushion to not only help straighten your posture, but to make your office chair WAY more comfortable. Hours of sitting won't hurt so bad with this!
ComfiLife is a small business based in San Diego. They're all about pain relief, comfort, and taking care of your body.
Promising reviews: "I've purchased similar items in the past that visually looked like this but were stiff and rigid. This is amazing. Totally eased my back pain from my quarantined-at-home desk job. Highly recommend." —Bellarosa555
"Since I've started working from home (coronavirus quarantine) I really miss my office chair. I saw this reviewed on BuzzFeed and immediately ordered it. Best decision ever. It helps my posture and makes my stiff kitchen chair way more comfortable." —Melissa Schuler
Get it from Amazon for $49.95 (available in three colors).
5. A pair of blue light–blocking glasses that help prevent eye strain and provide protection from the glare of screens (computer screens, phone screens, all the screens!).
Promising review: "I started working full time from home due to COVID, like everyone else, and I started to get a lot of headaches, my eyes were dry and heavy, and I was having issues with my sleep. My friend pointed out I was on the computer now all day long when I had barely used computers before. I bought these glasses and have used them for about a week and they are amazing!!! I feel so much better and my body feels much better at the end of the day! I only wish they were a little lighter, and they are a little tight behind my ears." —Meghan McCutcheon
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in 12 colors and multi-packs).
6. A felt letter board you can place on or hang above your desk! Leave yourself an affirming message or a motivational quote that you love. I, myself, would use it as a cute lil' reminder to stop scrolling on Instagram 😅
This felt letter board comes with 300 letters, a bag to put them in, and a hook for easy hanging.
Felt Like Sharing in a small, family owned business started by husband and wife duo Ryan and Pam.
Promising review: "I cannot say enough good things! The board is super cute and perfect in my kitchen. I was surprised and thrilled with how many letters, numbers, punctuation marks, etc. came with the board. I thought for sure I would need to order more but that is simply not the case, Felt Like Sharing was more than generous with them! The board itself is sturdy and well made, and the ribbing is tight enough that you don't have to worry about letters falling off. Felt Like Sharing is a super responsive and pleasant company to work with and I have a feeling that I will be ordering many more boards from them in the future!" —Lisa K
Get it from Amazon for $21.95+ (available in 27 colors and four sizes).
7. A set of wireless waterproof Bluetooth earbuds with adjustable silicone tips so they'll fit perfectly without constantly falling out no matter who's wearing them. The buzz on these babies is that not only are they affordable, but they are *super* comfortable, too — just take a look at 217,000+ 5-star reviews!
These come with a wireless charging case that provides up to 14 hours of charge (with the earbuds able to play for four+ hours with each full charge). The earbuds are also sweatproof and waterproof so you can use them during workouts or runs, (even in the shower!), and have a built-in mic so you can chat on the phone.
Promising review: "I like that these came with several different options for sizing in the ear. I was able to find one that didn't ever seem to make my ear sore. I don't believe I have ever had that before. I haven't used earbuds a really long time because they just never worked out for me. I wore these for several hours when I got them prior to doing any charge or anything and was extremely satisfied with sound quality and comfort. I haven't done much other then working around the house so I can update once I take them to the gym or some other environment. I don't foresee any issues though. Great product." —Nathan J. Hamilton
Get it from Amazon $22.99+ (available in five colors).
8. *THEE* TikTok-famous padded office chair because no home office is complete without a comfy AND stylish place to sit. This chair not only has an adjustable height and an ergonomic mid back for support, but it's also wide enough for you to comfortably cross your legs! Reviewers say it's "life changing," so no wonder this baby's gone viral. 👏
Check it out on TikTok here!
Promising reviews: "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
Get it from Amazon for $219.99.
9. Or an ergonomic swivel chair if you're looking for something with arm rests and wheels. This chair is still a cutie, too! So you'll get the best of both worlds.
Promising reviews: "This chair stood out from the rest because it was slick and fits right into our modern home...It only took me 10 minutes to assemble and I surprised [my dad with it]. He fell in love with it since the comfort was just right. The lumbar spine was well rested against that back of the chair and even though the back support was fixed in that angle, it wasn't necessary to have the adjustable back since this was just right to have a good posture. The seat is indeed comfortable and has a very nice cushion, the chair is light weight and the wheels are smooth on my wood laminated floors. I'm quite happy that my dad loves it and I think the price is amazing." —Ericson V.
"I purchased this chair as an upgrade to the Ikea dining chair I've been using in my home office for three years... It's incredibly comfortable, rolls around my hard wood floors quietly, stays in place when I want it to, and looks very classy in my white, mint, and wood spare room. I was between this and a chair with a mesh bottom and back, worried about how hot it gets in my top floor Boston apartment, but the material is very comfortable and not at all itchy, even when I'm hot. I would highly recommend this chair to anyone working from home or looking for a better office chair on a budget." —KP
Get it from Amazon for $79.99.
10. A personalized WFH sign to let others know your current work status — whether you're in a meeting or just in the ~zone~. And trust me, the last thing you want is someone bursting into the room during your big presentation!
A Command strip is included with every purchase. And BTW, the sliding options can be customized, too! Just make sure to select "Custom" under "# of Choices" and note your preferences to the seller.
Weeping Birch Home is a woman-owned small biz based in Illinois. Erin, the owner, creates handmade and laser cute home decor and gifts. She's got tons of different versions of this tracker for dirty dishes, pets, and more!
Promising review: "Times that I walk into my husband's meetings are finally over! OMG it’s better than I imagined! The quality is...so good and really well made! I was giggling when I personalized it with 'big boss Gregor' and couldn’t wait till it got here. Shipping was so fast! We both had a good laugh." —kopkamelanie
Get it from Weeping Birch Home on Etsy for $27.99+ (available in four fonts and up to four custom options).
11. A rechargeable ring light that'll brighten your frame for work meetings or online classes and provide the perfect lighting for selfies. It's small enough to fit in purses and backpacks too!
Promising reviews: "Bought this to use for hosting online classes and Zoom sessions so that my video doesn't appear to be too dark. This light has three settings that are all very bright. The battery lasts a good deal of time and can also be used when plugged into USB power. Would recommend." —Shawn Maile
"I love this light. It has four brightness settings and is rechargeable. I only just received it, but wow what a huge difference. And for the price you just can't beat it!" —Samantha Logan
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
12. An undated daily planner so you can write in tasks based on your schedule. Do you only work three days a week? Or do you only need a planner when a certain time of year is extra busy? An undated planner is perfect for that and allows you to keep the same journal for MUCH longer!
Papier's planners can be personalized, too! You can add in your own name and change the title of your planner from "Daily Planner" to "My Goals," "Productivity Planner," etc.
Get it from Papier for $28 (originally $32, available in eight colors and in over 150 different designs).
13. A compact under-desk bike you'll be able to use while working and sitting down for hours. It has multiple resistance levels and gives you the chance to be active while answering emails!
It works with desks as low as 27 inches. If you're tall or you have long legs, you can still use it while working from the couch.
Promising review: "I've been using my DeskCycle for almost three years and I can't rave enough about it. I've become so accustomed to pedaling while I work that I find it difficult to sit still in situations where I don't have access to it (like meetings, for example.) It takes some getting used to in the beginning, but once it becomes habit you'll find yourself pedaling while creating spreadsheets without even thinking about it. I typically get anywhere between 50–70 miles in per day and have even inspired several people I know to get one of their own (one of my colleagues included.) I have one at home and one at the office — the one at home going on three years of use and it's still as quiet as the day I bought it (with daily use) and I haven't even had to change the batteries on the digital display yet...In short, highly recommended." —Jennifer Lankenau
Get it from Amazon for $215.
14. OR a compact rolling desk bike that'll probably be your new go-to work from home spot for the foreseeable future. It's got an ergonomic design, adjustable height, and pedals that'll keep you active even when you have a long day of meetings.
This desk bike is also has "whisper quiet" pedaling, eight resistance levels, and a way to track your mileage, rpm, and other stats.
Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and I bought it. No regrets! I’ve used this almost daily since I got it. I’m moving way more than I did before. The tabletop part is a little loose but that might be from me leaning on it to much. It wasn’t original like that. I haven’t looked into tightening it. This is 10 out of 10 recommended for someone who looking to move more!!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $499.99 (available in two colors).
Psst — you can watch the viral desk bike TikTok featuring it for more insight on how it works. It's been liked over 1.8 million times!
15. A reversible waterproof desk mat so you can turn any space into a work area. The leather mat is heat resistant, easy to clean, and works as a mouse pad. And for my indecisive folks (i.e. me), the reversible colors make it much easier when you want to change your office aesthetic.
Promising review: "I'm an art teacher, and working from home during the coronavirus outbreak was going to put a lot of strain on my wood desk (which I keep mostly for show but now am forced to use for work). I ordered this desk pad because mint green is my favorite color, and I wanted something to protect my desk from paint and other art supplies. It arrived today, and it was so cute! It's exactly what I wanted. It's thin enough not to add too much bulk to the desk, the color is so fun, and it wipes off easily. I love that it's reversible, too, so I'll probably use one side for making tutorial videos for my classes and the other for when I'm painting. I was worried that it wouldn't lie flat because it came rolled up, but it lay flat immediately. And it came with a cute little belt in case I need to roll it back up again and store it!" —Jill S
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three sizes and in eight color combinations).
16. A vibrant wireless keyboard and mouse set that'll help your work from home set up go from bland to bright. The keyboard is full size too, meaning it has that super convenient numeric pad on the right.
The USB receiver is what helps this keyboard and mouse duo work wirelessly (no Bluetooth needed). Simply insert in your computer to connect!
Promising reviews: "This is ADORABLE! I love love love everything about this keyboard. It’s satisfying to the touch, and visually appealing. It’s easy to hook up (just some batteries and plug in to your computer)! I love green and it matches well with my room and desk setup." —Seba
"I absolutely love [this keyboard]!... It connects to your Mac/PC laptop with a USB piece and is operated by AA batteries. The keys really do feel like a typewriter and I get all the nostalgia and fun of typing on a mechanic keyboard. 10/10." —Katherine Dinh
Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in 12 colors).
Pssst... If you're looking for a compact version (i.e., without the numeric keypad), Amazon has that too! Check it out for $35.99.
17. A pair of wireless Bluetooth headphones with a really cool adjustable sensory bass feature and a long-lasting charge. Whether you're jamming out during a gym session or crushing through work taking call after call (after call) — the experience will never be the same with the excellent sound these provide.
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!
BTW, they come with their own matching carrying case!
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
Get it from Amazon for $179.99+ (available in three colors).
18. And a 360-degree rotating headphone holder because it won't take up any unnecessary space on your desk. It's got a simple installation too: just peel off the adhesive back and stick to any surface.
Promising reviews: "[This is] worth more than its cost. The mount actually comes with an extra sticky pad so if you choose to remove/move the mount to somewhere else you can do at your own leisure. The quality of material doesn't feel too cheap, and it's quite sturdy. We've bumped into it a couple of times but it hasn't broken or anything... The mount is extremely versatile in its flexibility and possible mounting options. Best I've seen out of other compact options (that aren't gaming headphone stands that take desk space)." —Forest Nguyen
"I have a white desk and a light grey chair and this headphone hanger matches the design perfectly. The quality and simple hinged design is brilliant. The adhesive is very strong provided you clean the surface before applying and let it cure for 24 hours before hanging anything on it." —Henry Ting
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in black and white).
19. A pack of heavy-duty stick-on hidden drawers that are great if you've got one of those desks without any storage. It'll take up minimal space below, and you'll still have room up top for the essentials!
Promising review: "I needed some type of easy storage option to keep [my space] decluttered when working. I chose this one because it came with two drawers. One big enough for my tablet and papers, and a small tray section at front for easy to reach smaller things. The other drawer is for pens, highlighters, etc (I keep a stapler in it too). It slides out fully and then DOWN so you have a 'cup' style action. It's easy to get what you need without digging. These drawers were the perfect size and tone, the included mounting tape is SUPER STRONG (and you get twice as much as you need to install them) even with a heavy stapler and chock-full with some heavy things the drawers have stayed attached and slide out smooth with no issues. Great purchase for the value." —Chris
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in three colors).
20. A sleek and stylish charging station you won't mind looking at every day. It's compatible with iPhones, Galaxy phones, and AirPods too.
I'd been wanting a charging station for a while now, but most are....not very pleasing to the eye to put it nicely. When I discovered the Courant charging stations, I jumped on it immediately wasn't disappointed one bit! First and foremost, it's so freakin' cute. The linen exterior and the minimalistic design is actually gorgeous. And second, the charging is fast! It connects with my iPhone and my AirPods with no problem (*zero* set up needed) and I can charge both at the same time. Basically whatever two items you can fit on the charging pad, you can charge. It has definitely enhanced my work experience for the better because my AirPods no longer die in the middle of meetings 🙃 A major win for me!
Get it from Courant for $58.50 (originally $90, available in four colors) or from Amazon for $79.99+ (available in two materials and eight colors).
P.S. Courant's charging stations are available in multiple sizes. The Catch:1 is the smallest, Catch:2 (pictured above), and Catch:3 which has a large catch-all tray attached!
21. Or a desk lamp with a built-in charging station if you're in need of both! It's got a touch-controlled dimmer, an energy-saving auto-shut off feature, a rotating head, AND it even folds down so you can save space when it's not in use!
Because this desk is electric, it allows you to set up to four memory presets for quick height adjusting.
Promising review: "I love my new desk lamp! I really like that it comes with three different brightness levels. The first picture [shown above] is with the lowest brightness and its the level I use the most. Since I have two cats and when I'm asleep they walk around my desk, I love that the lamp is foldable (second picture) so the cats don't end up kicking it down when doing their mischievousness! Also the lamp is very light and the touch button to turn it on/off it makes it really cool! If you're looking for a desk lamp or night table lamp, this is great!!! Very happy with my purchase!! —Roxana Tortorella
Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in four styles).
22. A handmade wooden cord organizer so your desk doesn't look chaotic with wires. It'll make concentrating on work much easier with a clean space.
StemBear is a small business that focuses on unique wooden desk and phone accessories.
Promising review: "Really lovely wood. It still had its great, fresh wood smell. The box and wrapping was so, so lovely and you could see they'd put effort." —Ollie Law
Get it from StemBear on Etsy for $38.95 (available in dark and light wood).
23. Or a cable organizer box to hide all those annoying wires and that huge extension cord that's always in the way.
Promising reviews: "I've been searching for something to not only hide the cord mess but protect them from my munch monster of a cat. This box in addition to cable straps and cable wrap has solved my cable management like magic! I highly recommend this product." —Lauryn
"Seriously where has this been all my life??? Highly recommend. Excellent cord management soulmate (I meant to type solution and it autocorrected to soulmate, however I think that’s accurate LOL.) Just get it. Won’t regret." —April Olsen
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available two sizes and in colors black and white).
24. An easy sliding camera cover that'll ensure your privacy and diminish the worry of accidentally leaving your camera on when you don't want to.
Promising reviews: "I always thought that putting something in front of your camera was reserved for government paranoid people, but 1. that is a real worry and 2. this thing comes in handy for everyday life too. I work at an organization that uses a lot of conference lines with external clients and having this manual option to prevent others from seeing my video is such a nice peace of mind. It doesn't block the lens when opened and is super easy to apply. I also love that it is super discreet, and doesn't prevent my laptop from closing properly." —Manders
"Works great on my MacBook Air and even our large desktop mac. Slider is easy to use." —Marianna
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $6.99 (available in four colors).
25. A crochet floral phone charger to add some much-needed color to your desk area, and make it easier to tell which cord is which in sea of look-a-likes. Just be prepared to want to show it off during Zoom meetings.
Keeley's Crochet is a small business based in Brisbane, Australia.
Promising review: "ABSOLUTE 10/10. A wonderful store. Items are such wonderful and high quality. The owner and seller is an absolute delight. Wonderful communication, quick reply time, and extremely understanding." —Mystique
Get it from Keeley's Crochet on Etsy for $35.59+ (available in micro USB, iPhone lightning, and USB C cables; also available in a half set of florals or a full set).
26. An acrylic four-piece desk organizer that won't clash with any present decor and won't be too visually dominating or distracting, either. This set comes with a dual sided pencil holder (for pens, scissors, and taller items), two *stackable* shorter holders (for tacks, Post-its, and other small knickknacks), and one big tray that holds it all together!
27. A set of water-absorbent coaters because they're just as cute as they are useful. These terrazzo-style coasters are fast acting when it comes to liquid cleanup, and they even have a cork bottom so there is no unwanted movement. Trust me, you don't want ANY liquid leaking near your laptop!
FYI, this set of six comes with two different color coasters: one with cool blue tones and the other with pink-ish warmer tones. You'll get three of each and a metal holder to keep them when not in use!
Promising reviews: "Bought these because my old coasters left puddles of water from the condensation on drinks. These really work and absorb everything! Very pleased. And they are so cute and look good on both wood and white marble countertops! Love that there are two slightly different designs in a pack." —Liza P
"Beautiful, absorbent coasters. So many coasters just look pretty but don't absorb the water. These are actual stone with cork on the bottom. The water droplets absorb into the stone right away. Your wooden furniture will be protected. I can confidently use these on my unfinished wooden coffee table. The terrazzo style is cute and matches my boho hygge style pretty well." —Danaaa
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in TONS of other colors/patterns).
28. A mini space heater that fits perfectly on your desk, and works wonders when placed under it. The tiny, minimal design is also much more ~aesthetically~ pleasing than those giant alternatives, and it works just as well.
Promising review: "For its size it truly does the job. It's so cute and perfectly compact I wish I could have it out to display but I keep it under my desk. It goes perfectly with all my pink too 😊 It's perfect for a small designated area but I really think if given the chance, it could warm a lot more area. I support, must buy" —Barbie Girl
Get it from Amazon for $17.01+ (available in four colors).
29. An ooey gooey dust remover great for getting rid of crumbs and dust in the tightest of places. Reviewers use it for car vents and cup holders, keyboards (hello!!), and even musical instruments.
The lemon-scented biodegradable gel will pick up dirt and dust but won't stick to your fingers. It's basically adult Silly Putty.
Promising review: "I was skeptical at first; afraid my keyboard would be all gummed up with yellow slime! The opposite happened, though, and it cleaned it as good as new. Got all those dog hairs between the keys! No smell lingering on keyboard or my hands. No sign I even used it except a clean keyboard. Kind of fun to play with. Squeeze it between your fingers! LOL. My next task for it will be those dust return air vents on our heating system and use it on my dusty window blinds. This stuff works and I highly recommend!" —ZZZZZZ
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
30. A super durable retro-inspired Bluetooth speaker small in size but mighty in sound. It's the perfect addition to your desk space so you can jam out while getting things done (and it's pretty adorable too!).
Promising reviews: "This speaker really does add more fun and joy into my life. I previously owned an Anker brand speaker that stopped working. The Muzen button isn’t as loud as the Anker speaker but still holds a clear sound. I absolutely love the design and color!" —Onika Donnay Incorporated
"Got this speaker as a gift for my super trendy and fashionable sister, quite honestly wasn't expecting it to be more than a cute fashion accessory. To say I was shocked at the quality of sound is an understatement. It's louder than my regular speaker and it's less than a fifth of the size. Not to mention, it's soooo pretty and everyone always comments about how tiny it is. Surprisingly heavy and durable metal, not cheap plastic, which was a relief. My sister is obsessed with it and it's already her new favorite (and frequently Instagrammed) accessory. She has found a way to wear it with her outfits and brings it with her everywhere...10/10 would recommend as a gift for any fashionista/music lover or even if you just want to treat yourself." —Nina
Get it from Amazon for $75+ (available in five colors).
31. A laptop cooling pad for when your computer starts to make that over-heating, airplane propeller sound (you know the one). It's USB-powered and has three fans in it that'll keep your laptop cool so you can focus on work instead of reviving your work equipment.
Promising review: "Best purchase I have made in years. Only had it two days, but the first words out of my mouth to my wife were, 'I can work for hours like this.' If you work from home and like to work on the couch, recliner, breakfast nook, patio, etc, and you have your computer in your lap, this is an absolute must-have. Not only does it keep your legs and lap cool, but it also keeps your computer cool and able to process much more efficiently." —Trent Thiel
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in two colors).
32. An ergonomically designed mouse to reduce hand cramps, muscle strain, and wrist pain. And yep, it's wireless too! You can connect via Bluetooth or with the included USB receiver.
This mouse is rechargeable, with one quick charge lasting up to four months even with daily use!
Promising reviews: "This is the best vertical mouse I've tried...I wasn't sure about the shape of this at first, but the more I used it, I realized the genius of the design. You end up supporting your hand with the palm, and the angle is perfect for ergonomic comfort. The sensor is super accurate which means you get things done quicker, and the software is awesome for creating macros to help speed up your workflow. I love the rubber grip; it keeps your palms from getting sweaty and feels nice on your hand." —Nick
"Best vertical mouse ever. I have some ulnar nerve/Raynaud's hand and arm issues so have to be careful about ergonomics for blood flow. I literally cannot work with a normal mouse as a result and have to use a vertical mouse and spend over eight hours per day during the week using the computer/a mouse. This is the best yet. Evoluent's vertical mouse was better than everything out there but this Logitech vertical mouse requires noticeably less strain to move the mouse and the hand is just considerably more comfortable at rest. Sure there are some things I miss about the Evoluent, but those are a much smaller percentage of use than improving the resting hand position and ease of movement (which are about 98% of your use time). Buy it." —muir
Get it from Amazon for $90.99.
Pssst! If you're looking to spend a little less $$ on an ergonomic mouse, Anker has a top-selling option for $19.99.
33. A monitor memo board with a place to sit your phone so you don't miss any important calls or texts while you work.
Plus, there's a hole at the bottom so you can plug in your phone!
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 $21.99.

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

35. A heated back and neck massager because it'll get out all the tight knots and cricks with its rotating massage heads. Using this after a long day will feel amaaazing!
Promising reviews: "I bought this when COVID closed down my chiro, I used it lying down and when reclining... It works well and the heat is an added bonus I didn't think I needed but winter was long and cold, it helped! And I noticed I get up from my desk less often since WFH; this neck massager has made all the difference...The two sides cycle one way then stop to cycle in opposite direction. Like the heat option, you don't realize the benefit of that extra feature until you use it." —Swanny
"This is a must-have. I was very impressed with this device. It plugs in, has a long cord, and can be strapped to my desk chair or on a pillow as I’m sitting up in bed. It has a 15-minute timer that automatically shuts off as do not overwork my muscles because this is a very nice deep tissue massager. It has two massagers one on each side, which can be placed directly on the back not to induce stress on the spine. It has a very nice the heating technology, too!." —kat j

Promising review: "One of those items I didn’t know I needed until I had it. As a busy mom of two little ones, I can’t even remember the last time I got to finish a hot cup of coffee. Until now! This truly kept my coffee warm for literal hours. And I love the wood grain look of it. It’s nice and doesn’t look cheap at all. I’m going to keep it on my desk for when I’m working, and I’ll never go without hot coffee again!" —ADR80

Promising review: "Once I started to work from home full time, I needed a desk to fit in my small apartment. This desk does the job — small, lightweight, easy to assemble. Now that I have been using it for two-plus months, I feel like It could've been deeper since I have a 34-inch monitor and using a laptop in front of it (to type). I have scooted my monitor to hang 2 inches off of the back and using the wall to help hold the monitor up and in place. This desk would be PERFECT if it was a little deeper, but overall, it's an awesome desk." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "These are so cute and are very well made. They have nice "feet" that I wasn't expecting and the craftsmanship is super. The wood is well sanded with a nice poly applied. Not too thick though so the natural wood finish shows and it's not shiny." —Debe Jolliff

This laptop phone mount was created by the The Phone Mount People, a small biz based in Nashotah, Wisconsin.
Promising review: "This is one of those things I didn't realize I needed until I saw it. My phone used to lie flat next to my laptop and I was always looking away to check messages. Now it's tucked nice and upright next to my laptop screen. Never realized what a hassle it was to keep looking away at my phone! Nice setup for FaceTime calls as well. You can talk away while still be working on the laptop. Material feels nice and soft." —Annabelle

Promising review: "This is a great 3D printed product, and exactly what I was hoping for...This shop clearly takes note with quality control. The phone holder is made extremely well, with sloped topsides for a wider surface area for the sticky adhesive (just peel and stick) to take hold, without making the actual wall sides of the holder too thick. My iPhone 12 Pro fits easily and this can hold a Pro Max too. The top cutout allows you to slide it out easily with a finger. Texture is not rough and won't scratch up your phone. Pretty much perfect, thanks!" —Michelle

43. A smart reusable notebook that'll be a big help for those that love handwriting notes but hate transferring it over to a computer. With this notebook, whatever is written can go to cloud services like Google Drive, Dropbox, iCloud, and more. When it's transferred, simply erase the notes with a damp cloth and reuse!
Promising review: "I got this notebook at the start of this semester and thought, 'This is either going to be a hit or a miss, let's find out.' Well, I have to say it is a hit so far and I am two weeks into the semester. It has 16 pages, 32 front and back, which is more than enough to take comprehensive notes in class as well as have a lot of left over pages to write ideas, make a to-do list or simply doodle if I feel like it... This thing is a game changer. I always used to hate notebooks because they rip, they get wet and ruined, they're hard to navigate through when trying to study certain things, and most of all don't have the same freedom you do with the Rocketbook-style notebook. I highly recommend that all college students have one of these. Oh, and did I mention that it's very thin and weighs barely anything so you don't have to lug around six notebooks, textbooks and printouts all day long?" —An Honest Customer
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in executive and letter sizes and 17 colors).
44. A 60-pack of self-stick organizing tabs so no matter what, your notebooks and planners will be clear and organized. The tabs even have enough room for you to make little notes!
Promising review: "These babies are pretty sturdy and they make putting notes in a book, or planner, or magazine, or whatever a complete breeze. I really like the ease of these and if you are creative you can make these work for any project. I use them in my textbooks to summarize my notes on a chapter. I also have short term memory loss after a car accident, I like reading novels, but can't remember things. So I use one of these as a bookmark, and take a few minutes to jot down key things from the book. I really, really, really like these and I am glad they exist." —Delaney

"This has got to be the best laptop lap desk I have ever owned! The wrist-rest is cushiony, and the cushions on the back are super comfortable on my legs: a slight incline, which is perfect. It's sturdy and light. Love the handle, mouse pad with borders so the mouse won't fall off, and the tablet/phone slots. I don't write a lot of reviews, but I am so happy with this product that I had to give it a good review. Would recommend it to anyone." J. Castro

Promising review: "This is perfect for anyone who needs a very portable second screen for meetings, spreadsheets, sanity, etc. Folds out and back easily, and detaches/attaches with ease if needed. Requires zero set up time and is not heavy. Single plug for your computer's USB-C slot is really what makes the difference here as compared to carting around a second monitor. Also just very cool looking and impresses people while traveling :) So glad I got this!" —Andrey Myakishev
