What a year! The holidays are finally here! And while we’re doing our best to make sure the products we feature will arrive in time, shipping times are especially tricky this year, so we suggest shopping as early as you can.
Stock and shipping times can vary depending on where you live, which product you purchase, and more. So order earlier than you think you need to and be sure to double-check the retailers’ websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for when you need it.
1. A talking Bob Ross bobblehead so they can take a moment to appreciate the joy of painting when things get a bit too stressful.
2. A Bluetooth speaker that packs big sound into a tiny retro package. It also has a speakerphone option so they can add some vintage flair to all of their boring work calls.
3. A screaming goat so they can quickly let out all of their mid-workday frustrations in a way that doesn't involve sending a passive-aggressive email. They can just push down the little goat and let it do all the screaming for them.
4. A set of artificial succulents with motivational quotes for the aspiring gardener who isn't actually about that plant parent life.
5. A tiny desktop TV that actually works! It plays some of the best moments from Friends — and seriously, could that little remote be any cuter?!
6. And an instantly recognizable picture frame for the person who just keeps re-watching Friends on an endless loop instead of watching new shows.
7. A mini desk vacuum — it'll gladly suck up any Dorito crumbs or Cheeto dust they leave behind after a snack break.
8. A spacious pouch shaped like a delicious cup of bubble tea, except it's filled with all their pens and pencils instead of boba.
9. A mini cactus humidifier that will add a touch of cuteness to their desk while adding some moisture to the air if their office (or home office) is feeling drier than the desert.
10. The unlikely surprise hit of the year: fidget popping toys. They're basically like a never-ending piece of Bubble Wrap, so it's no wonder these things have both kids and adults in a total trance.
11. A ridiculously adorable Baby Yoda (or The Child) desk lamp so The Force will be with them even during the most stressful of work days.
12. An elephant-shaped phone holder since everyone needs a cute desk pet, especially one that will also keep their mess of pens and pencils in their proper place.
13. A mini dumpling that's stuffed with warm, comforting light and can fit right in the palm of their hand — or a ridiculously adorable bubble-tea-shaped light for the friend who can't go a day without their boba fix.
14. A tiny light-up marquee to write inspirational phrases to themselves on... or write sneaky messages to their coworkers in their Zoom background.
15. A mini Aladdin's genie lamp so they can attempt to wish their way out of that meeting that definitely could have been an email.
16. A mini zen gardening kit to bring a sense of tranquility on those days when the mere sound of their Slack notification brings on instant anxiety.
17. And a sloth coffee mug so they can get caffeinated to do absolutely nothing.
