1. A colorful mechanical keyboard with a matching wireless mouse because if you're going to be typing away for eight hours a day, you might as well make your work setup a little more bright and cheerful!
Promising review: "Absolutely amazing keyboard. Colors are eye-catching and make a drab office pop with color! I am currently the envy of the office. Ladies in the other departments are waiting on their own to come in now after seeing mine. Easy plug/play. It travels between home and office with me. Love the keys on this as well. Sleep mode seems to pop on kinda quick but it's nothing bad. Just push a button or click the mouse and it's on again. I have had it for about a month now and will not be going back to any other style! It was delivered fast, packaging was great." —Nikki Bell
Get it from Amazon for $31.99+ (available in 10 colors).

Promising review: "Don't know how I worked from home without it! Reduces so much clutter from my usual kitchen table setup. Absolutely changed the game for me and helps keep me organized." —Jake Duneier
Get it from Amazon for $87.63.
3. An orthopedic pain relief seat cushion made with memory foam to keep your derrière feeling comfy during a 10-hour workday. It's like sitting on clouds!
The cover is removable and washable according to reviewers.
Promising review: "I have been using the seat pillow for two weeks now, and it has done what it advertises. It has reduced pain, held up up well, and maintained its shape. Given I am not sitting on it all day, which may impact the wear and tear, it still has provided an increase in support and comfort, and has helped reduce my dull sciatica pain when having to sit for extended periods of time." —Icarus Rising
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in five colors).
4. A glass dry-erase desktop whiteboard if you're constantly jotting down notes for yourself throughout the workday but don't want to go through endless pieces of paper doing so. It'll also help keep your notes and reminders front and center in your workspace so you don't forget anything important!
The whiteboard also comes with a dry-erase marker, accessory channel (to hold the marker), and a storage drawer.
Promising review: "Never thought something analog would be SO useful in my daily routine. I work from home and am constantly project managing multiple complex strategic projects. Having pertinent information directly in front of me and top of mind has done incredible things for my productivity. Never would have imagined it would make such a difference. For a nominal investment, I highly recommend it if you have trouble keeping up with things."—Captainflapjax
Get it from Amazon for $31.29+ (available in five colors).
5. A mini fridge you'll be so happy you installed next to your desk when you're really focused on your work and can't risk a trip to the kitchen for a snack. Mine would definitely be loaded up with Diet Coke and string cheese!
You can charge this using an adapter in your car or a regular outlet, and if you unplug it and take it on the go, items will stay cold for several hours as long as you don't open the door.
Promising review: "I bought this refrigerator because I recently started working from home because of the COVID-19 quarantine. When I’m working during the day, I have to keep myself locked up in the spare bedroom so my toddler doesn’t realize I’m home. Otherwise, she would be trying to come see me all day. **Disclaimer: I don’t just lock my toddler out and leave her alone, there’s someone here taking care of her! Anyway, since I can’t really leave the bedroom, this fridge has been great to keep some drinks cold while I’m working. I put them in already cold and they hold the temperature as long as they are in the fridge." —Aratay
Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in five colors).
6. A cat-shaped Post-It note dispenser that'll be the purrrfect addition to your workspace. This adorable kitty is there to lend a helping hand — sorry, paw— and make it easy for you to grab a Post-It whenever you need to jot down a fast note.
Promising review: "I was more than happy when I got my cat Post-It note holder. It is weighted so when you pull a note out of it, it does not move. My cat is evil (lol) and spent a lot of energy trying to knock the holder down over, but it stays in place. The bottom has no skip pads. I use mine on my coffee table which is glass topped. It doesn't move on glass, and it doesn't scratch anything." —Fluttrz
Get it from Amazon for $8.68.
7. The TikTok-famous padded office chair because having a super comfy place to sit is the *key* to a successful WFH setup. It's wide enough to allow you to comfortably cross your legs while working and also has a super cushiony back to keep you supported!
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+ (available with or without wheels).
8. A lumbar support pillow that'll turn almost any chair into an ergonomic oasis. This will help improve your posture as you're sitting and typing away all day at your desk, which means it'll be less likely you'll get up at the end of the day with a sore back!
Read more about how lumbar support pillows help support your back position at Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "My large office chair was getting very uncomfortable so thought I'd give this pillow a try. It gives excellent back support and makes a huge difference. Now I don't have to buy a new chair." —Vikequeen
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three colors).
9. A caterpillar cord organizer to add some whimsy to your workspace while also transforming your cord situation from chaotic to in control. Now you don't have to go reaching behind your desk looking for charging cord every time your computer gets down to 5%. Plus: how can you not smile when you look at this cutie?!
Promising review: "He is perfect and pure and good and has never done anything wrong in his whole life. Somehow at least like 53 times cuter in person??? Also does a great job holding all my cables because of course he does. 10/10 would buy this good good boy again." —Jennii
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
10. A clip-on ring light so your coworkers can see your beautiful, well-lit face during your countless Zoom meetings. This is especially great if your desk is in a perpetually dark corner!
The light is powered via USB and has three light colors and 10 brightness levels.
Promising review: "I don't have the best light in my living room. Working from home, I have had my fair share of Zoom and Skype meetings and without this light, my face was shaded no matter how hard I tried to get light. Now with the different shades of light as the day passes, I can change the light brightness and not look like I'm in a dungeon." —Paige Ruark
Get it from Amazon for $15.79.
11. A coffee warmer for when you get caught up answering emails in the morning and your coffee gets cold before you've even taken a sip. Now your morning java will stay gloriously warm for as long as you need it to.
Promising review: "I had gone through two other coffee warmers in a month, both of which got raving reviews on Amazon but barely kept coffee warm for 30 minutes. So I decided to splurge on this more expensive one, and BEST DECISION EVER! Not only does it keep your coffee warm, it keeps it HOT on the highest setting. It does an excellent job at keeping your coffee hot for as long as you want, PLUS it is super easy to turn on and off. When you turn it off, it displays the lowest hot setting light to show you the plate is still hot so no unsuspecting burns. This is hands-down the best option on the market." —Elizabeth Harris
Get it from Amazon for $19.79+ (available in six colors).
12. A laptop stand so you're not constantly putting strain on your neck and looking down at your screen. Now, your laptop will be at eye level and your neck posture will naturally improve!
Promising review: "This is an absolute game changer now that I am working from home. It helps my posture and the colors match my MacBook Pro almost exactly if you don't hyper examine it. It does have a little extra shine, but it is still matte. The stand is very sturdy and has quickly become a favorite to use any time I use my Mac." —ZAraiza
Get it from Amazon for $39.90+ (available in two styles and in four colors).
13. A five-piece organizer set if the random piles of books, notepads, and pens are starting to take over your desk. Now you can organize them in ~style~ and make it easier for yourself to find what you need during your workday!
The set includes a pencil cup holder, a letter sorter, a letter tray, a hanging file organizer, and a sticky note holder.
Promising reviews: "This is great for my desk at home. Gives a splash of color and helps me to organize many of my pens, books, etc. Love it." —stinsontm
"I got tired of stacking papers and folders on top of a horizontal tray on my desk. The basket can hold file folders with tabs, which makes important papers easy to organize and find. No more piles upon piles. The tray is for my to-do items. I have embellished some of the items with fake rhinestones and have received many compliments on the ensemble." —Kathy
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in three colors).
14. A wireless ergonomic mouse perfect for people with carpal tunnel or anyone who gets hand cramps after working all day. The design of the mouse keeps your hand in a natural position and helps reduce hand fatigue.
Read more about ergonomic mice for wrist pain and carpal tunnel at Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "I bought this mouse because I have wrist and lower arm pain. I can't actively use any regular mouse more than one hour at a time without getting some pain... It's comfortable, and this is the most important thing, because so far I can use it for hours and don't have any pains. The wrist isn't twisted like on a regular mouse and I can feel this, for the better. Took me under a day to get adjusted to this angle. An interesting thing about this design is that you feel more inclined to use your whole arm to make mouse movements, which is a good thing, since doing so puts less stress on the wrist." —Dan
Get it from Amazon for $25.
15. A bike pedaler if you're trapped at your desk all day every day but still want to get your body moving and your blood pumping.
16. A device charging station with *six* slots to place all of your devices upright while charging, which will free up your WFH space from tech-related clutter. It'll also help control that inevitable mess of long cords because it comes with short cords that plug right into the station.
Promising review: "This is a great device to organize and charge all your devices. When you turn it on, each slot that is actively charging has slight blue glow to the divider. At a glance, you can see which devices are charging and which are charged. I like this. It is not so bright that it is distracting. I love the fact that all my devices are now organized in one place with nice short codes for charging. Gone are all my cords snaked around on my desk. I am using it for both iOS and Android devices. The device only came with lightning cables, so I purchased some 6-inch USB C cables for my Android devices. Everything is working great and looks great too. Also, the device has a nice long power cord so it easily reaches to the wall plug for power." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $29.23.
17. A two-tier folding desk if you live in a small space and are still working from your kitchen table or your couch. Give yourself a proper, dedicated workspace during the day with this desk, and then once the workday's over, you can fold this up and store it away to give yourself more space.
Promising review: "I live in Brooklyn in a smaller apartment where I quite frankly have no space to have a freestanding desk with my other furniture. When my company implemented a WFH policy, I took a gamble and ordered this desk because 1) I could collapse it and tuck it under my bed when I wasn't using it, and 2) It was spacious and sturdy looking enough to actually do work on. I received it today, and I am beyond pleased. No setup required — quite literally took it from the box, slid it from collapsed to open, and began working on it. I cannot recommend this enough for the price and functionality!" —Sydney
Get it from Amazon for $52.99+ (available in two styles and six colors, plus a one-tier version).
18. An under-the-desk memory foam foot rest that not only makes your feet feel nice and supported but can also help improve your posture. As a short person whose legs often dangle while sitting, I need this ASAP!
Read more about how supporting dangling feet can help posture and leg pain at Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "I bought this because I am 5 feet tall and my feet do not touch the floor in most chairs, the couch, etc. So I get leg pain from not being able to touch the floor. I found this brand and I thought I would try it. I'm glad I did. It is very comfortable and I don't have leg pain any longer. I bought four of them for different areas in my house. One of them my ten-year-old uses at her desk because her legs were hurting her because they did not touch the floor either. She uses it and flips it around and uses the other side to rock her feet if they get tired. I vacuum these and you can put the cover in the wash. These do not leave marks from your feet or sink. It's sturdy and comfortable. It's a great product for my needs." —Kindle Customer
Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in three colors).
19. This year-long dry-erase calendar if you're someone who likes to see every major work deadline for the year at one glance. You'll love being able to check on any important date just by glancing up at your wall from your desk!
Circle & Square Decor is a Utah-based small business that creates personalized family wall calendars, chore charts, and home decor.
Promising review: "This is an incredible calendar. It’s everything I wanted it to be and more. Super well made and packaged expertly. I’m so happy with my purchase." —Morgan Skillman
Get it from Circle & Square Decor on Etsy for $54.40+ (available with five frame colors or without a frame, as well as in a package with dry-erase markers and magnets).
20. A flexible power strip because working from home requires that *a lot* of things must be plugged in at all times. This has a 5-foot (!!) extension cord, so even if the closest plug to your desk is halfway down the wall, you'll be able to utilize it.
iJoy sells a variety of tech accessories, speakers, and headphones.
Promising reviews: "I saw this on TikTok, so I ordered one. I absolutely love it. Everyone needs one in their life." —Dani Jo Stengsar
"I rarely write a review (this is the second in the past few years). One of the best purchases in a long time. Nice design and very practical. It solves all of my problems as it can go any direction. It's worth every penny. I turned around and bought two more. I am about to buy my fourth one. Love this!" —Pond P.
Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in four colors).
21. A rechargeable LED desk lamp if you want add a bit of brightness to your workspace without cluttering it up with an additional cord. It also has some organization space at the bottom for pens and highlighters as well as a stand to prop up your phone.
Promising review: "The lamp neck is super easy to maneuver, so it's easy to place the light exactly where you need it. I work from home, and in the early mornings it's nice to be able to tap the switch to turn the lamp on to the lowest setting, instead of blinding myself by switching on the light in my office. The front has the perfect stand for your cell phone, makes for a hand-free option to take calls, be in virtual meetings, and perhaps watch Netflix while working. Great purchase — I'd totally recommend." —PmZm
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in three colors).
22. An under-desk phone holder because trying to work while your phone is staring right at you on your desk can be very distracting. Now you can keep your device out of sight but still within arm's reach in case an important work call comes in that you need to answer.
If you're worried about your phone fitting, this small biz has you covered! The standard size holder fits all phones with a case under 3.38 inches wide and .67 inches thick (i.e. iPhone 13 Pro Max, Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, etc.) However, you can also request custom dimensions to ensure the perfect fit.
Beyond 3D Creations is a Boston-based small biz. They create a ton of cool 3D-printed tech accessories (including this bestseller).
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
Get it from Beyond 3D Creations on Etsy for $11.88+ (available in standard and custom sizes, and in six colors).
23. A pretty silicone keyboard if you tend to eat lunch or snack at your desk (it's okay, we've all done it) and you'd like to prevent crumbs or spills from getting into the keyboard.
Promising review: "I love this keyboard cover. It has a nice feeling, is very flexible, and it fits like a glove on my MacBook Air. It doesn't come off even when I'm moving my laptop around a lot (which I do, since I do a lot of work on the sofa or the bed where I end up in weird positions to be comfortable). I can feel each key individually when I hit them, which is really nice. I also type a lot due to work and school, as well as simply writing in my free time, and this cover has held up the entire time. I haven't seen any signs of wear or even fading in the six months I've had it. This is a very durable keyboard — I eat with my laptop all the time, and I've actually spilled coffee on my keyboard once, and nothing happened — it actually kind of kept the liquid there until I could clean it off. I would definitely buy this again if I needed another color." —Sadia Rahman
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 32 colors).
24. A sport-brella designed with UPF 50+ (!) because one of the perks of working from home is that you can head outside to your back porch to work whenever the weather is nice. This will shield the sun from causing glare on your screen and protect you from a sunburn at the same time!
FYI: UPF is the rating system used with fabric, just like SPF for sunscreen!
Promising review: "This has made working from home outside possible! I can bend the umbrella from three different angles and even rotate it. Great shade for my laptop to keep it from overheating in the sun, but small enough that I can stand next to it (clamped onto the side rail of my deck) and still get a little sun myself! Best money you'll spend this year!" —Melissa H.
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two sizes and nine colors and patterns).
25. A light-up wall charger with six outlets *and* two USB fast-charging ports to really get the most out of that one plug that's underneath your desk. Now you'll never have to choose between charging your laptop or your phone again!
Promising review: "I work from home in a small apartment, and this really made my setup work the way I want it to. I need to use all six plugs, plus I like to keep my phone and Mi-Fi charging while working too. This was the perfect thing for me to get everything plugged in and essentially retrofitted into a built-in apartment wall desk setup that was intended for the large desktop towers of the late '90s. I’m ordering a second one in hopes it transforms another part of my weird floor plan. Bonus: The USB ports seem to fast-charge my iPhone XS Max. I can go from dead to fully charged in about 90 minutes." —Moose
Get it from Amazon for $17.97.
26. A printer stand so your printer can now live underneath your desk instead of taking up precious space on your workspace. There's even an extra shelf for printer paper!
Plus, it has anti-skid pads so it will stay in place and can hold up to 44 pounds.
Promising review: "We were looking for a stand for our printer as our computer desk is rather small. This fits our printer and allows for extra storage room underneath. It was easy to assemble and is very sturdy. The anti-skid feet keep it in place, but it can still be moved around with a little effort." —Jjoslin
Get it from Amazon for $38.80 (available in two colors).
27. A rotating timer if your work to-do list is seriously overwhelming you and you need some help blocking off dedicated time to focus and get your task done.
You can set the timer for 5-, 10-, 15-, 20-, and 30-minute blocks by rotating it to the time you want. Then it will start the countdown. There are also four volume options in case you don't want to disrupt any other people in your 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
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in 30- and 60-minute configurations and five colors).
28. A cascading wall organizer so you can finally get that huge pile of paper off of your desk. Hang it on the wall of your home office, and you'll be able to grab all your important documents while still sitting!
You can also fold it down and take it to go.
Promising review: "This is the most amazing invention ever. My husband and I got into a habit of piling up all our random papers in the kitchen on top of the microwave, and I was just SICK of it! Could never find anything and things would go missing. Once I set this up, it was a game changer. My kitchen mess is no longer! And I have not lost another field trip form and have a place for all those floating art projects, receipts, and pay stubs." —Kirsten
Get it from Amazon for $10+ (available in four colors).
29. A Wi-Fi extender if you have multiple video meetings a day and your Wi-Fi has a tendency to cut out at the worst times. This will help make your connection stronger, especially if your desk is far away from the WiFi router.
Promising review: "This is a great product. We live in an old farmhouse and even though we have the fastest and highest internet service, we just couldn't get the signal throughout the entire house, or even our upstairs. But once we plugged in this range extender, we now have our 5G throughout the entire house and even the garage! It was super easy to install. No hassles. Easy to follow instructions." —Jennifer
Get it from Amazon for $52.99.
30. A portable monitor for all those hard workers who just have way too much going on in a day to contain it on one screen. With this, you can take your laptop anywhere (like your bed) and still have enough screen real estate for all those applications you need open.
Promising review: "I bought this so I can work from home in the pandemic, as I have three screens at work and only a laptop at home. Best decision ever! This product, packaging, and the easy instructions are the greatest! So happy with my purchase. My sister thought it was so amazing that she bought one too and thanked me a lot for suggesting it! Great product!" —Crystal Emerald Green
Get it from Amazon for $299.99 (available in black or silver).
31. An electric standing desk if you like to ~change it up~ a bit during the workday — especially on hour 6 of straight meetings. Now you can raise your desk and stand whenever you want to stretch your legs. And then once your feet get a bit tired, you can lower it back down and sit in your comfy chair.
Because this desk is electric, it allows you to set up to four memory presets for quick height adjusting.
Promising reviews: "Fantastic. Love how organized the packaging and instructions are...It is quiet. Low sound when you move it up or down. Great for those with back pain. You can stand and stretch or work sitting down. Love the option. Heavy metal base construction." —RS
"I’ve had this desk for about a year and I’ve had no issues and really enjoy having an adjustable desk! Makes working from home less painful from sitting in a chair all day. 👍🏻" —kaytie hodgemire
Get it from Amazon for $179.99+ (available in four sizes and nine colors).
32. An ergonomic mouse pad with great gel support to keep your wrist aligned and feeling good even after a straight 10 hours of sitting at your desk going through spreadsheets.
Promising review: "I love how inexpensive this mouse pad is for what you get out of it. It has absolutely saved my wrists from working all day at a computer. I didn't want a mouse pad that was covered in cloth because the cloth tends to wear down and look bad, but so far the cloth on this still looks perfect after months of use. The bottom of the pad clings to my desk and does not move or slide around. Highly recommend." —E. McKillip
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in eight designs).
33. A simple cellphone stand if you're taking calls throughout your workday but also need your hands free to type out notes or emails during the call.
You can use this with an iPhone or an Android. Plus, it has a cutout in the back so you can thread a charging cable through it.
Promising review: "I’ve had this on my wishlist and finally decided to purchase. I’m so glad I finally did. I was most surprised by the fact it is made of metal and not plastic. It is sturdy and keeps my phone within easy reach on my desk at work. I love the cord cutout that allows you to charge with the phone in an upright position. With my old stand, I would have to charge with the phone on its side. If you listen to music while you work, this is a functional and attractive addition." —Jenn.K
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in five colors).
34. A lap desk that might just be the best lap desk you'll ever use. With a built-in phone-tablet holder, a mouse pad, and a wrist pad, you'll be able to crank out your important report by the end of day, even if you're on your couch or still sitting in bed.
Promising review: "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. It has a slight incline, which is perfect. It's sturdy and light. Love the handle, the 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. Hopefully, this will help someone who is searching for the right lap desk. Recommend it to anyone." —J. Castro
Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in two colors).
35. A cord organizer if you're constantly getting your feet tangled in the mess of cords that live underneath your desk. Now you can just hide all of those unsightly charging cables inside this box and bring back a bit of order into your workday.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this as a solution for hiding our never ending wires from two at home workstations. I love the top which provides a safe and cute platform to easily charge your devices without having to leave them on the floor. I will be buying a second one." —Barbara Konchinski
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two styles).
36. An anti-slip desk pad that not only can act as a giant mousepad but can also add some much-needed color to your work area. And it'll help protect your desk from any scratches — you are spending eight hours a day at your desk, so you'll want to protect it from as much damage as possible!
Promising review: "Firstly, I am amazed at how well this mat works. It comes in minimal packaging which is great for the environment. The mat rolled out perfectly. It did not have any strange smells (that plastic often has). It looks amazing. I ordered black for work and purple for my home office. This is a great value for the price. I ordered the smaller size which is great but I need more space for editing tools so I will be ordering the larger size too." —Lucky_Trouble
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three sizes and 16 colors).
37. An under-desk headphone mount so you can always keep your noise-cancelling headphones within reach whenever loud sounds in your house threaten to distract you. Plus: they won't be cluttering up your desktop when they're stored on this mount.
38. A nonslip laptop cooling pad that will actively keep your laptop at a comfortable temperature so it doesn't burn your thighs or sound like it's a rocket about to take off.
Promising review: "This thing is a game-changer...literally. I use my laptop for gaming. I like to run games with high-quality graphics, and thus, my computer heats up. In the past, I would put my knees up to give my laptop some breathing room, which is very uncomfortable for long term use. This cooling pad allows my legs and computer to stay cool for long periods of computer usage. The sticky band on the bottom keeps my laptop in place even when I'm moving around. I highly recommend this to anyone who hates their laptop burning their legs." —Scott
Get it from Amazon for $22.49+ (available in blue or red).
