    Promising review: "Got these specifically for working on my laptop and monitor and I am impressed in the difference they make. You don’t realize how bright the blue light being emitted from some devices is until you try on pair of glasses designed to filter it. These make staring at a screen for long periods more bearable in my opinion. Was worried about fit as you always run that risk without trying on first but I am happy with the fit and look!" —Amazon Customer

    Promising review: "Okay, I HATE my Macbook Pro keyboard. I can't tell if I'm even pressing a button, thanks to the almost nonexistent tactile press. It hurts my fingers if I type a lot. Now for this keyboard cover...OH. MY. GOD. It gives the keys actual FEEL. Like, the cover is raised enough to feel like you actually PRESS the buttons."  —LulaDarling13

    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

    Promising review: "Times that I walk into my husbands 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

    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!" —Gaga15

    "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 $15.39+ (available in three sizes and 13 colors).

    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 nine colors).

    10. A pack of pastel highlighters for color coding your to-do list, marking priority tasks, or just making meeting notes more amusing.

    Promising review: "LOVE THESE. I looked for this brand because I have some of their old highlighters from my sister (at least 10 years old) and none of them have dried out and they’re all super vibrant. So when I went looking for pastel colors because I do a lot of text book highlighting and I feel like sometimes the purple, blue and green of normal highlighters are a bit dark, these did not disappoint. They are beautiful pastels, glide super smoothly. Love them lots." —Eliana Cohen

    Get a six-pack from Amazon for $10.23+ (available in three different color packs).

    11. 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!

    Amazon

    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 $26.99+ (available in three colors).

    13. 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.

    These come with a wireless charging case that provides up to 14 hours of charge (with the earbuds able to play for more than 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 $32.99 (available in five colors).

    14. 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 $12.99+ (available in two sizes and in eight color combinations).

    15. 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: "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

    20. A convenient sticky notes booklet, something I'm sure is every planner and organizer's dream. When you open it up, you see tons of bright sticky notes — big ones with tabs, small one without tabs, labels, lined stickies, everything!! TL;DR: You ~need~ this.

    21. An ergonomic swivel chair if you're looking for something that's not only comfortable to sit in for hours, but has arm rests and wheels as well. This chair is a cutie, too! So you'll get the best of both worlds.

    Amazon

    Promising reviews: "This chair stood out from the rest because it was slick and fits right into our modern home...It only took my 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 $89.99.

    22. A huuuge set of cute paper clips to make a boring work day a little more exciting. Among this 100-piece set are flamingos, cacti, pineapples, and cute lil' llamas — basically a mini vacation in office supply form. They can even be used as bookmarks, too!

    "I. Love. These. Slippers. One of my favorite and best purchases from Amazon. I practically live in these things. Literally, I wear them around the house all the time down to stepping out of them and directly into the shower and even walking my dog in them — my nieces loved them so much I ended up getting them each a pair for Christmas.

    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 (also available in 20 other patterns).

    27. A convenient desktop dry erase board if you'd rather jot something down than use a Post-it. It's perfect for those quick notes and reminders you don't want to forget, fits right in front of your monitor, and even has a storage compartment on the side.

    It comes with a dry-erase marker, too!

    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

    Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in five colors).

    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 $27.99+ (available in four styles; Note only three come with wireless charging).

    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

    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.

    31. A coffee mug warmer with three heat settings and an auto shutoff feature so you'll never have to worry about forgetting to turn it off when not in use.

    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

    Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in five colors).

    32. An electric standing desk if you absolutely hate sitting in one place all day. There are tons of benefits to standing desks, too!

    Promising reviews: "I’ve been researching standing desks for several months now, trying to find one that is functional (and large enough!), attractive, and not terribly expensive. This is by far the best value of anything I’ve come across! It was easy to assemble, the motor works nice and smoothly, and it looks great in my home office! Very happy with this purchase!" —Adella

    "Awesome desk, a total game-changer! When I received it, I was delighted with how nice it was. Assembly was a breeze, and I'd say it took me a half hour to put together. I can easily fit my two large monitors, as well as laptop, keyboard, etc. on it. The height range is more than ample. And most importantly I am already feeling the positive effects of standing during part of my workday." —Twild78

    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: "I have had many MacBook Pro cases and by far - my new one from Chic Geeks is the absolute best. Not only is it gorgeous, but it is sturdy and I have no doubt my MacBook will be safe. Also even better than the quality of the case is Chic Geeks Customer Service.

    35. A giant, very encouraging water bottle to help you stay on top of your hydration and daily water intake during a busy work day. The kind phrases like "don't give up" will really help with your motivation, too.

    Promising review: "I love this jug! I have a hard time drinking water during the day and I don't think I've ever had a gallon of water in a day. The motivational slogans give me the extra 'oomph' I need to remind myself to stay hydrated (important in Arizona) and the hourly breakdowns help keep me accountable. I also love that it has a strap that I can use to carry it (because it's definitely heavy when it's full). Overall, it's well worth the money spent! My husband got jealous when he saw it and now he wants one for himself and we're going to have water drinking challenges :)" —Drea Crymes

    Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in 13 colors).

    Promising reviews: "I got the small which is perfect for little things laying around. I really like it and will be getting another one to have a set. The best part is if you don't need it you can easily fold it and store it away. Really cool idea." —mc97

    Promising review: "I’m an adult I swear. But I am way too excited about this. It’s weighted enough that it’s easy to use it with one hand. One thing I really like about it is the hinged case. I have pets and this helps keep the hair out of my tape. It’s also really compact which I like a lot." —SirNick

    38. A small, desktop humidifier to leave on your desk so you can have a little pick-me-up whenever you need it! It's great for hydrating your skin a bit during dry weather and even helps plants that need a little moisture in the air.

    Promising review: "I absolutely love this tiny humidifier. It's easy to use and easy to clean, plus it fits so nicely on my desk. I've used it everyday for two weeks. If you fill the water cup, it runs for at least 8 hours. And I like that I can just plug it into my laptop to recharge or just keep it plugged in." —Maria Rodriguez

    Get it from Amazon for $22.97 (available in two colors). 

    39. 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 $179.
