1. A lap desk with a built-in mouse pad and cellphone slot for those work days when you just don't want to get out of bed. The plush cushion on the bottom maintains a cool temperature and conforms to your lap ensuring maximum comfort, plus the top allows for proper ventilation (aka your laptop won't overheat even when you're working overtime).
2. A selfie ring light set that comes with a tripod, cellphone stand, and three dimmable lighting modes to make your video call appearances look brighter and clearer. This genius device gives you a flawless glow that will make you *want* to turn your camera on for Zoom meetings.
3. A 24-piece sensory fidget toy set perfect for when stressful assignment deadlines are approaching and the only thing you've written is "What I learned in boating school is." Feel free to fiddle, flip, and squeeze these satisfying trinkets until you've reached the minimum word count on that essay.
4. A handheld frother to take your barista skills to the next level. This battery powered device makes the cloudiest and yummiest foam from the milk of your choice (psst, it works great on nondairy milk and can be used to blend powdered drinks, too!).
5. Wireless noise-cancelling headphones so you can tune out distracting background noise with a curated playlist or complete silence. The headphones come with a built-in microphone and one charge gives you 30 hours of use.
6. A silicone keyboard to stop dirt and crumbs from slipping into the cracks and damaging your keyboard. Choose from 26 different designs to add a pop of color and a layer of protection so you can keep on snackin'.
7. A Bahama Breeze-scented Yankee Candle so that you can pretend your makeshift home office is an Airbnb beach cottage in the Caribbean instead of the storage room your mom converted your childhood bedroom into.
8. A bath caddy tray because you deserve to feel like you're in a five-star hotel every time you step into your tub. It's made from high quality bamboo which gives it a beautiful natural wood finish, plus it has enough space to fit a whole bottle of wine, a book, candles, chocolate, and any other luxuries you can dream of.
9. A cold brew coffee maker with a built-in filter so you can get a high-quality cold cup of java without having to leave your home. Just add in your fav coffee grounds and water, pop it in the freezer for a few hours, and that's it! You'll have four ounces of delicious brew.
10. A laptop cooling pad because the weather is only going to get hotter throughout the spring... and so will the bottom of your laptop as it sits on your lap. Add this to cart so you can comfortably work from your couch all season long.
11. A heated shiatsu foot massager with massage heads and rotating massager nodes. This massager truly delivers high-end spa quality into your home and pays for itself after just one use. Simply plug it in and enjoy a massage so relaxing that you'll be tempted to leave it a tip.
12. A Rocketbook Fusion Smart Reusable Notebook that can be used over and over again! Just use the included pen to fill up the 47 pages, scan it with a smart device to upload it to the cloud service of your choice, erase it with the microfiber cloth, and start all over again. TL;DR: No more loose-leaf paper scraps scattered around your workspace!
13. A wall plug plower strip with six outlets to keep your phones, laptops, tablets, and all other devices fully juiced in one convenient location. It blends in perfectly without taking up any floor space and can be used on any existing outlet.
14. A pedal exerciser that fits perfectly under your desk. Get your blood flowing with a quick workout while on the clock or lounging on the couch! There is absolutely no assembly required so you'll only break a sweat when it's in use — it even comes with a built-in digital monitor that displays calories burned and exercise time.
15. A door draft stopper and noise-blocker cat to keep out the cold and noise while you concentrate on your latest assignment. Simply slide the two sided stopper underneath the door to keep it nice and warm while enjoying complete silence.
16. A roller ball you can give yourself a deep massage after being slumped over your keyboard all day. Just roll it over the areas where you feel stiff or sore and wait for the magic — you can even use massage oil or cream to make it feel like a more ~luxurious~ experience.
17. A Wi-Fi extender so you don't have to sit in the living room, where the connection is strong but you run the risk of your coworkers catching a glimpse of your roommate practicing TikTok dance routines. This device covers over 1,200 square feet and can support up to 20 devices at once.
18. A gaming chair that is worth the splurge for non-gamers. The ergonomic design, lumbar headrest pillow, 360 swivel, adjustable seat, and steeeeeep recline abilities will make you feel so comfortable, you'll forget you have a bed. Your neck, shoulders, and back will thank you.
19. Floral print wide leg pants that combine all the benefits of a beautiful flowy skirt and your favorite pajama pants into one fabulous item that feels totally WFH appropriate.
20. An assorted care package because those free office snacks are sadly a thing of the past — but you'll still need something to casually munch on during the day. These come with 40 different treats and will limit trips to the deli by keeping yummy goodies nearby at all times.
21. An essential oil diffuser that'll uplift your mood on high stress work days and appeal to all five senses. Plus, it lights up all while letting out a light humidifying mist.
22. A mini fridge so that now instead of making fifty-'leven trips to the kitchen to pick up a beverage or snack, you can just open this nifty under-desk gadget.
23. A desk calendar because if you're working from home, you're bound to lose track of days. This book will keep your 2021 organized and fabulous.
24. A rapid egg cooker that makes the perfect egg-based breakfast quicker (and dare I say better) than your fav fast food chain. That means no more missing the most important meal of the day or trying to stuff your face before an impromptu Zoom meeting. Plus, you can finally cross "cook at home more" off your to do list.
25. A bottle of Poo-Pourri because there is no amount of love that can mask the unpleasant odor coming from the bathroom after they go. And now that you're working from home, it's going to happen a lot more often. The directions are super simple: spray this nontoxic blend of essential oils into the bowl to trap odors. Just remember to use it before you go so you can spray it forward.
26. A rose gold desk organizer with multiple compartments for all of your essential office supplies. The chic design keeps all your supplies nice and neat, plus it spruces up your space with a dash of color.
27. A powerful 4-inch rotating desk fan that will cool you off without running up your electricity bill. It's the perfect size for your home office and it makes little to no noise, that way it won't be a distraction while you work.
28. A cup cooler to keep your liquids cold for hours so you won't have to toss it in the freezer and wait. Just pop a chilled drink in (no ice needed!).
29. Neutrogena Hydro Boost City Shield Water Gel Sunscreen – it uses a fast absorbing water gel formula to help you get in the habit of applying your sunscreen every day, even if you're home for at least eight hours — because yes, the light coming through your window still counts as sun exposure.
30. A weekly to do list which means you'll never forget your important tasks. Every time you pull out your pad, you'll be reminded of the things that may have slipped your mind.
31. A time-marked water bottle because it turns out your body cannot run on Dunkin Donuts coffee alone. This beautifully designed 32 oz. bottle has a motivational phrase for each gulp from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Adding this to cart ensures you're hydrated all season long.
