1. A colorful wireless keyboard and mouse set for adding some joy-inducing color to your workspace without any bothersome cords to tie you down.
The set includes a wireless keyboard and a wireless mouse with a USB receiver. Pick up some AA batteries — both will need them!
Promising review: "Every time I walk into my red office and see this beautiful keyboard, it makes me happy. It looks just like it does in the photo. It's such a jolt of color, and with its cool circular retro buttons, it's just a pleasure to use. If you need a pick-me-up (and who doesn't this year?), I can't recommend this highly enough." —CA-girl
Get it from Amazon for $40.99 (available in 12 styles).
2. And a TikTok-viral cloud wrist rest to keep your wrists ~ergonomically aligned~ while you type out your 80th email of the day and protect them from that harsh desk edge. It's a desktop dream come true!
Let BuzzFeed editor Jenae Sitzes tell you all about it:
"This little beauty is available only from the Logitech store on its own — elsewhere, you can get it as part of a bundle with the G713 wired or G715 wireless mechanical keyboard (also pictured above), which I personally own and use every day for work! The cute cloud rest makes typing all day sooo much more comfortable, and even though I've been using it for a long time now, it still looks as good as the day I got it!"
Get it from Logitech for $19.99.
3. An aesthetic flexible power strip so you can actually utilize each and every outlet even when your excessively massive laptop charger is present.
iJoy is a small business selling a variety of tech accessories, speakers, and headphones.
Promising review: "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 $17.99 (available in four colors).
4. A vibrant spectrum wall planner that is hands-down gorgeous and actually so useful for long-term planning. A new tool and office decor all in one! We love to see it.
Promising review: "Zero complaints about this calendar from me. I buy it every year, and the colors are so bright and cheery (unless you get the more muted colors, but those are nice too). Tons of space to write on each little square, and I'm sure I'll continue to buy one every year for eternity." —L H
Get it from Amazon for $48 (available in three color combos).

7. A 52-sheet to-do list pad for when you're overwhelmed with all the things that need doing and just don't know where to start. Blank legal pads do not inspire, but this cutie sure does!

8. A USB-powered LED light strip to give your desk area a futuristic glow while working double-duty to reduce eye fatigue and hopefully keep those pesky headaches at bay when you're pulling extra long shifts.
Promising review: "I have procrastinated in writing this review and am actually happy to say that after a year, the product is continuing to stay strong. The adhesion is as strong as it was on day one, and this product continues to meet and exceed expectations. I have noticed significantly less eye strain. If I were needing computer monitor backlighting again, I wouldn't hesitate to repurchase." —college_engineer
Get it from Amazon for $9.49+ (available for monitors up to 80 inches).
9. A cooling memory foam seat cushion that's unassuming enough to blend in with most any desk chair and will make you feel ~supported~ even on your longest days.
The velour cover zips off for easy cleaning in the washing machine.
Promising review: "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 quarantine-at-home desk job. Highly recommend." —Bellarosa555
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in three colors).
10. Or a whimsical paw chair cushion so you can add an extra layer of comfort *and* cuteness to cradle your booty while you're on the clock.
Promising review: "Got this for my office desk. It definitely stands out, and the older ladies at my work love it! It works well as a seat cushion, as my office chair is so thin I can feel the metal and plastic bits when sitting. With the cushion, it's super soft and comfortable!" —Jane
Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available in two sizes and seven colors).
11. An electric mug warmer because nothing ruins your cozy desk vibes quite like reaching for your coffee only to find it's gone cold. With this chic little warmer, you can join the slow sippers club without having to make a bazillion trips to the microwave. If this seems like one big fire hazard to you — fear not — there's a built-in auto shutoff!
Reviewers suggest turning the heat down from high to medium once the drink gets down to about the halfway point so it stays a comfortable temperature!
Check it out on TikTok (where one reviewer even has the genius idea to use it as a candle warmer at their desk, too)!
BuzzFeed editor Jenae Sitzes wishes she had bought it sooner:
"After seeing this coffee warmer all over BuzzFeed Shopping and even gifting my dad one for Christmas, I finally decided to buy one for myself. Based on all the reviews, I was pretty confident I'd soon be kicking myself for not getting it sooner, and that proved to be true: This thing not only looks good but works great for keeping my coffee warm all day long. (Because yes, I'm one of those people who'll sip on coffee until 5 p.m., all right!!) I was kind of worried it'd be too small for some of my larger mugs, but the center plate is bigger than expected and accommodated every mug in my (very eclectic) collection perfectly. I can confirm that flat-bottomed mugs are the best option for using with this warmer as they do stay hotter, but it still keeps my concave-bottom mugs warm enough for my taste. Also, I looove how sleek the white version looks on my white desk, and the auto-shutoff function is a nice safety feature as an absent-minded person."
Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in seven styles).
12. A slim desktop whiteboard if your desk is littered with distracting sticky notes that always seem to get lost anyway. This memo board is designed to fit comfortably between a keyboard and a monitor, creating a designated place where you can write out all your absolutely-cannot-forget reminders again and again and again.
The whiteboard also comes with a dry-erase marker, an 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 a number of 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 $31.43+ (available in five styles).
13. Or a wall-mounted acrylic dry-erase board for a major aesthetic upgrade to standard dry erase boards with all the same schedule-tracking, note-taking, and organizing prowess.
1801 & Co. is a Minnesota-based Etsy shop established in 2016 that specializes in family wall calendars, chore charts, wedding signs, and more.
Promising review: "I love it! I got it so fast after ordering, and it’s perfect. I love the sleek design for my small home office space. I can’t function at work without a dry erase board but couldn’t find any that would look nice in my office space, which is in the corner of my master bedroom! Having functional office space without LOOKING like an office in the bedroom is challenging, but this acrylic board is PERFECT. The black pen that comes with it is very nice fine tip and erases without a trace." —Dawn Powell
Get it from 1801 & Co. on Etsy for $17.95+ (available in 19 sizes and 3 hardware styles/finishes).
14. A jumbo printed desk pad to cover up all those stains, chips, and scratches (How'd those even get there?) with any one of a vast collection of colors and patterns to suit any taste. Plus, you'll LOVE all the free-range mouse movin' you can do with all this newfound space.
Promising review: "I really like this mat — I've had it for several months now, and it hasn't faded or scuffed at all. Makes my basic office cubicle desk a little prettier and does the job I really needed it for — to soften the surface of my desk because I hate the way my mouse sounds without a mousepad. Several coworkers have complimented the design and asked for the link!" —AliB_Art
Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in two sizes and a wide range of colors/prints).
15. Super pretty rainbow prism sun catchers so you can bask in sunny rainbows even if you're stuck inside working. Who can't help but smile at a rainbow?!
Promising review: "I put two of these in my home office window, where the sun shines in the morning. Every morning, it's an explosion of cheerful rainbows and sunshine, and it just makes me happy to be alive! The quality is excellent. Even though they aren't crystal, I honestly don't think you would ever see a difference if they were, other than being a few hundred dollars poorer. They are heavy, remarkably clear, smooth, crisp facets, and appear flawless." —Dr Hall
Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.38.
16. A capybara desk companion that'll just about force a smile out of you whenever it catches your eye, even when Jake from IT is getting on your last nerve.

17. A precious little mushroom lamp if you're short on space but big on your love for all things cottagecore. This lovely little mush casts a soft glow across your desk, with 16 colors and four brightness levels easily controlled with a remote.
Promising review: "Cute, cute, cute! This is one of the cutest night-lights ever! Not only does it change colors, but it can also be controlled remotely and changed in a variety of colors and effects, from flashing to slowly fading from one color into another, or if desired, one constant color to match any decor. The brightness can also be adjusted. And the wood base gives it more than the look of a toy; it is perfectly classy." —roika
Get it from Amazon for $26.99.
18. Or a customizable moon lamp because it's a ~dreamy~ addition to any space that uses a companion app to select from a wide range of color options, and even has a sound-reactive mode so you can enter that focus flow state with synchronized light and sound.
Promising review: "I bought this lamp after seeing it on TikTok. It looked really cool, and I thought it would be a nice addition to my bedroom! I actually expected to have some buyer's remorse, but I couldn't have been more wrong! This lamp is so adorable and perfect for bedrooms of any age. It would definitely go well with a kawaii gamer setup, too. It has a multitude of color options; the gradient pastel rainbow is my favorite! It's controllable from your smartphone or touch, and it has a neat little feature where it changes color based on the sound it picks up! It's super affordable, especially compared to other smart lights like Phillips Hue." —Autumn
Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in corded and wireless versions).
19. A space-efficient bamboo multidevice charging dock for corralling the sprawling mess of tech and chargers into one designated display that almost looks too good to be this useful.
Great Useful Stuff is a Utah-based small business selling a tight selection of home and lifestyle goods that embody the brand's name.
Promising review: "My desk was full of chargers and cords. This really helps keep everything organized and puts those cords out of sight. I also use the dividers to store a notebook, so you can use it for other things besides computers, phones, etc. I also really like the material. I got the light bamboo." —Stephanie
Get it from Amazon for $48.95 (available in four other styles).
20. An upholstered swivel armchair to bring a warm sense of cozy into your WFH cubicle because it turns out black mesh just isn't your favorite thing to look at all day, every day.
Promising review: "My husband and I are both working from home, and we needed extra work space, so I set up a desk in our primary bedroom. I didn't want an ugly office chair but also wanted something comfortable that was easy to get in and out of. This goes perfectly with our decor. The swivel feature is great, the chair is comfortable and very sturdy, and it was super easy to assemble. I did it myself in about five minutes." —Ashley Somenzi

These little gold pieces add a touch of functionality and glamour to the sconces. Exactly what I was looking for." —Amy Margolis
Get it from Brighttia on Etsy for $11.98 (available in 12 colors).
23. Or a universal magnetic cord holder to eliminate the need to go excavating under your desk for fallen charging cables.

Get them from Amazon for $39.99.
26. A 360-degree rotating headphone holder for a minimalist desk add-on that finally answers the age-old question — What the heck do I do with my headphones when I'm not using them?
Promising reviews: "I have a white desk and a light gray 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 $11.99 (available in black and white).
27. A geometric dinosaur sculpture to keep your desk candy stash a secret! This little guy has a majorly big mouth that's perfect for stashing sweets, keys, or anything else that might need a fearsome protector.
Promising review: "Honestly better than I thought it would be. It looked cool online, and I bought it as an impulse buy and was not disappointed. It's heavy and well-made. If I had any complaint, it's that due to the shape of the jaw, some jelly beans fall out if I don't grab them carefully, but I've decided that's a small price to pay for this epic protector sitting on my desk." —David
Get it from Amazon for $59.98 (available in three colors).

Promising review: "I LOVE these little humidifiers! I bought my first one to use at my desk at work because the air is so dry in the building, and it has been a godsend. Not only does it help keep my sinuses happier, but it looks great, too. I bought a second one for my nightstand that I use while I sleep at night, and they both work perfectly." —Selene Schneider
Get it from Amazon for $15.89 (available in two styles).
