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.

Reviewers also use it to work with their computers on their laps while sitting on the couch or in bed!
Promising review: "Perfect for hybrid work. My husband works from home periodically, so he doesn’t want a permanent workstation, but it’s perfect on a table for standing desk or in a large chair or ottoman as a lap desk. We fold it up and stow it easily when not in use." —D

3. An adorable wireless portable charger so you don't have to worry about constantly recharging your phone on days when you're navigating from your work office to your home office — this will keep it nice and juiced up for when those meetings really *do* become emails.
Check out a TikTok of the portable charger in action.
Promising review: "The holy grail of portable chargers!!! I was traveling to Disney for vacation and knowing me, I would drain my battery with just taking pictures alone. I wanted a portable battery but didn’t want a carry a cord either, so I was excited when I found this little baby! It does exactly as described, pretty pink color, and I get one full charge of battery for my iPhone 11. Get it, you will not be disappointed!" —Meghan Doble
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in six colors).
4. Plus a 3-in-1 foldable magnetic wireless charger you'll honestly be mad you didn't know about before now?? It folds out from a small square into a rectangular charging pad with a spot for your iPhone, AirPods, *and* Apple Watch to charge all at the same time.
Check out a TikTok of the foldable 3-in-1 charger in action.
Promising review: "I use this product to charge my IPhone 13, AirPods, and Apple Watch. Prior to this 3-in-1 compact purchase, I have purchased three different kinds of 3-in-1 chargers — I frequently travel between school and home with carry-on bags on airlines and all of the previous stand version chargers doesn't fit well in my bags or I am always worried I would break. This is compact and folds so well that I can fit in my carry-on or in any zipper pockets without having to worry about breaking anything. Charger works really well and it is the best compact one you can find in market. Love it and been using it for two months now and no issues!!" —SBREDDY
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in nine colors).
5. An undetectable mouse jiggler for folks working at home who need to stay "active" on Gchat, Teams, or Slack and sometimes want to dash out to use the bathroom or walk the dog without doing the whole "BRB, BACK IN A BIT!!" song and dance every time they dare to get up from their desk.
Promising review: "Like everyone else, I stumbled upon this product because of a TikTok I saw. Setup was extremely easy and I'm pleased to say that my Teams green light is on all the time now. Workers of the world, unite." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in four styles).
6. A delightfully portable device cleaner you'll be grateful to have on hand when you're dragging your tech around. This gets the most efficient clean with two sides — one with an antimicrobial-treated cleaning solution to clear off the grime off your computer screen, and another with a soft polishing buffer to make it gleam.
One side dispenses a cleaning solution that kills bacteria, and the other side polishes the surface off so it looks nice and shiny.
Promising review: "Saw a friend at work using this; she showed me and I had to have one. I wasn't disappointed. Gets all the gunk off my phone, iPad, computer screens, and my kids' Kindles. Getting these for gifts this year. Awesome." —kevin
Get it from Amazon for $16.95.
7. A set of affordable, highly popular wireless Bluetooth earbuds that make *excellent* AirPod dupes. Reviewers love these because they're ridiculously comfy on the ears, making them perfect for in-office days when you're trying to get in the zone and for at-home days when you're in constant Zoom calls.
These come with a wireless charging case that provides up to 14 hours of charge (with the earbuds able to play for four-plus hours with each full charge).
Promising review: "I work remotely and use these for all-day Zoom calls. I love the quality, comfortable fit, sound and noise cancelling features. I will say the noise cancelling isn't 100% proof, but I'm not looking for that. I want to be able to hear around me in case someone in my house needs me." —Ali R.
Get it from Amazon $19.99+ (get this price by clipping the 15% off coupon on the product page; available in five colors).
8. A pair of Target's internet-famous "sweatpants for work," which is what a lot of reviewers are calling these professional-looking glorified lounge pants. They have a pull-on elastic waist and are made with a stretchy, soft fabric blend perfect for working from home, but also have a straight ankle cut and high waist that make them office-ready attire.
See a TikTok of the pants in action.
Promising review: "These pants are so comfortable. They look like dress pants, but feel like sweatpants! I can chase after my kids in these and still look pulled together. I reach for them just as often as I grab my leggings." —JCastle

9. An adorably encouraging daily planner you can fill out throughout the course of each day to keep yourself on track for all your calls, goals, and even your water intake. This is especially ideal for hybrid workers because you can tear off each sheet as you go instead of lugging the whole planner around with you!
Each planner comes with 50 tear-off sheets the size of a standard piece of paper.
Bliss Collections is a family-owned, Wisconsin-based business established in 2012 that specializes in stationery, planners and pads, and drinkware.
Promising review: "These daily planning sheets keep this mama on TRACK! I started out printing daily planning and schedule sheets from a free download on my computer. Then I realized why not just buy some already printed so I save my ink at home. I found these and love how the day, schedule, tasks, and health habits are organized. I've already reordered once and will continue to use these." —Shannon Hoglund
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
10. Or for the ~big picture~ thinkers, a tear-off weekly notepad to remind you of what the top priorities for each day are, so you don't feel as overwhelmed while powering through them.
Promising review: "I carry a weekly planner in my bag for scheduling appointments, meetings, classes, etc. Then on Sunday night or Monday morning, I transfer everything from the planner to a sheet from this pad. It stays sitting on the counter in my kitchen where I can easily jot down errands, groceries, etc either in the extra space or on the back. At first this seemed like an unnecessary duplication of effort, so I was looking for a better solution, but I've realized over the past couple of weeks that this really works for me. It helps me get all my commitments for the week out of the planner and into my head so that I know what I've got on my plate." —Toledo
Get it from Amazon for $8.10 (available in 15 list styles).
11. A popular water-repellent laptop sleeve that'll give it a lil' extra cushion and protection in your backpack or the seat you perilously propped it on whenever you're on the move. It even comes with a second small bag so you can pack the charger to match!
Promising review: "This thing is amazing and has saved my laptop on more than one occasion. I bought it many months ago but was inspired to write a review two days ago after walking 20 minutes in a rain and thunderstorm without an umbrella. My backpack, with everything inside was SOAKED. My shoes are still drying out even. While the laptop case was wet, my computer inside was completely dry! I was fully expecting my computer to be ruined when I pulled it out and I was in shock when it was completely fine. Aside from the rainstorm, I have spilled a few drinks inside my bag and it has never leaked into the case even a little bit. The outside of the case is a little stained from what I've put it through, and I have not tried to clean it, but it doesn't bother me at all. The quality is truly outstanding!" —Amanda Bacoch
Get it from Amazon for $12.79+ (available in 32 colors and 12" - 16" sizes).
12. A sophisticated laptop tote bag so you can easily (and chicly!) carry not just your tech, but the whole arsenal of I'm A Very Busy Business Person things you need to get through the day. Reviewers especially love the unexpected depth and pockets included.
Promising review: "It’s much more spacious than it looks. It’s very sleek and stylish. I use it as my work bag and I find that it looks professional and has enough space for all of my stuff. I carry a laptop, pencil case, two books, makeup bag, water bottle, wallet, lotion, phone and laptop charger, and other small miscellaneous objects. Still plenty of space. And when you see carry it, it doesn’t feel bulky or cumbersome. The bag does sag a bit after use. But has held up to wear and tear. I would recommend." —Su
Get it from Amazon for $35.99 (available in 11 styles).
13. A delightfully practical Stojo collapsible travel cup (with a straw!) you can use to drink coffee or water on the go — reviewers love that it collapses to a teensy, easy-to-store size, and that you can easily reheat it in the microwave, unlike other travel mugs.
Check out a TikTok of the Stojo collapsible cup in action.
Stojo is a small business that specializes in dishwasher-, microwave-safe storage and travel products with the goal of eliminating single-use plastics.
Promising review: "I take my lunch to work and during mid day I like to use the Keurig to brew a cup of coffee. The 12-ounce Stojo cup I purchased is very practical. It is thick and durable. The plastic collar enables you to hold the cup without squeezing it or burning your hands on the hot walls of the cup. It seals well so you don't have to worry about leaking your drink on your shirt. It even has some reasonable thermal properties. There is enough volume in the cup to allow for the 12-ounce brew plus ample creamer. It's not a stainless vacuum cup, but it does hold its temperature better than your typical gas station or coffee shop cup. Plus you have the advantage of being able to reheat your drink in the microwave which you can't do with a stainless cup. Washes easily too. If you want a 12-ounce cup that keeps your drink hot or cold for a long time, this isn't the cup for you. But if you need something practical that will keep your coffee warm for 30–45 minutes, can be reheated in a microwave, and collapses to the dimensions of a tall hockey puck, this is a good purchase. You'll have it for years." —ViciousCycle
Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in six sizes and 24 colors).
14. A portable dual monitor for your laptop to give your screen thaaaaat much more space to breathe — a real perk when your home and/or office situation might change from room to room depending on what everyone else in the house needs on any given day.
This is compatible with Mac, PC, and Chrome laptops between 13 and 17 inches, and attaches with device-safe metal plates. The magnetic pull is strong enough for you to take your laptop from room to room without undoing your setup, but also easy enough to remove that you can tuck everything into a backpack quickly when you're on the move. You can even rotate the display to your preferences, if you want it at an angle!
Promising review: "I’ve been using the SideTrak for a week now and it has been an absolute game-changer for me. The instructions were easy to follow, and installation a breeze. The SideTrak was first whipped into action during a 2 hour long ride in my car as a passenger, and I was utterly impressed with how much I got done with ease, in that amount of time! Additionally, I’ve gotten a lot more use out of the SideTrak than I imagined — such as when I’m lounging in my backyard, kitchen, living room, pool... anywhere outside of the room in my office, the possibilities are endless! I’m all about efficiency and maximizing my time and the SideTrak has contributed largely in those areas. Thank you." —Ratana K.
Get it from Amazon for $299.99 (available in two colors).
15. An oh-so-handy "Flex Flap" that makes just about any surface a temporary desk or monitor. This super flexible, lightweight gripper works for both phones and tablets (and even books!) so you can tune into meetings hands-free, or type on a portable keyboard. Reviewers also mention using it on exercise equipment and in their cars!
Flex Flap is a small business established by a flight attendant who created the design based on passengers' needs for an easier way to watch movies on their devices in flight.
Promising review: "I purchased Flex Flap because I was looking for a phone holder for my car. This product stood out due to the number of ways you can use it. I was intrigued and it didn't disappoint. It's amazingly simple and works in all types of situations. Love it!" —CB
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in three colors).
16. A memory foam seat cushion for your tushy so effective at relieving pressure from your tailbone that you'll finally stop losing sleep over your love-hate relationship with the various chairs you're working from each day of the week.
Promising review: "A few weeks into working from home five days a week I started having a lot of hip/leg/back pain. I have a good Herman Miller task chair that had been fine for one to two days of WFH a week, but wasn't working for me full time. In the early afternoons my lower back would start cramping. I did some research and bought this pillow and it immediately helped! I also took it on a two week road trip since a three-day road trip earlier this year had made a mess of my lower body that lingered for weeks — and no pain! What really drove me to write this review was that yesterday, unknowingly, I worked all day sitting on my chair without my cushion. I had removed it to use as a spare chair at my dinner table and forgot to put it back. At the end of the day hip was aching and I realized why! Today it's back on my chair and I'm already feeling better." —Lorene
Get it from Amazon for $49.35 (clip the "5% off" coupon on the product page for this price; available in two colors).
17. A portable laptop power bank to truly change the game for remote and hybrid workers. This sleek gadget not only charges laptops at top speed, but has a second USB to charge your phone simultaneously. It also has a unique slim design to make it easy to slide into a backpack or messenger bag alongside a laptop, and a screen projecting how much charge is left and how long it will take to fully charge your device.
Check out a TikTok of the laptop power bank in action.
Promising review: "Bought for travel. On one day where I needed to use the phone more, I realized that my phone was low on power but was able to connect it to the power bank. It charged very quickly and I was able to keep going without disruption. Quite a relief! It, of course, has just a bit of a heft to it, as expected with a battery like this, but nothing too bad. It’s compact enough to be easily portable (I tucked it into a pocket of my tote)." —MAB
Get it from Amazon for $84.99 (clip the $15 off coupon on the product page for this price).
18. An electronics travel organizer for anyone whose job involves multiple devices — this will let you stash all the accessories neatly and efficiently without feeling like you're digging for lost treasure every time you need to charge something.
Promising review: "Such a simple thing that is so helpful. This is a soft-sided tech accessory travel case (probably useful for other things too). For me, it holds a MacBook power supply, mouse and mouse pad, various plus, cords and ear phones, all neatly and in place. Just so much better than my old system of everything in one bag. Bought one for my daughter too." —CaliKla
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in three colors).
19. A 10-foot lightning cable perfect for charging devices in whatever potentially chaotic situation you're working from this week — reviewers love the freedom of the extra length for outlets that are further away, whether you're charging the phone in your living room or a coffee shop!
Promising review: "You can never go wrong with extra long charging cables! My wife and I use these for charging our phones on our nightstands so we can use the phones in bed without over stretching shorter cables. The braided cables are nice and the red connectors add a little pop of color. We’ve had other brands of cables fall apart at the connector in a short amount of time but these seem pretty solid." —Mr. D
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in five colors and four other sizes).
20. A portable Bluetooth retro-style keyboard to instantly fashion your tablet into a chic mini laptop when you're on the move between workspaces. You're about to make a *lot* of friends at Starbucks asking you where you got this little gem.
Promising review: "I've been seeing retro-style typewriter keyboards on TikTok for a while now. I aways thought, 'That looks pretty cool!' Decided to look on here and found this one. I just got it today and so far has been working great! I had no problems connecting the keyboard via Bluetooth, and the clicking of the keys is really nice, one of the reasons why I wanted to get this." —dee
Get it from Amazon for $35.99 (available in 11 colors).
21. A "Worky" station, aka a 15-in-1 mobile work station you can take with you on the go to have everything you possibly could need in one convenient, portable spot. This comes equipped with two standard outlets, two USB ports, a built-in LED light for conference calls, storage compartments for files and tech accessories, and a magnetic dry erase board for notes.
Worky is a small business that specializes in products to improve remote working experiences.
Check out a TikTok of the Worky station in action.
Promising review: "I've had my Worky for three months now and have loved it. I love that everything is in one place and then I can close it up and work disappears. The compartments are great for tucking away piles of paperwork, the multiple charging outlets are convenient and the LED lights are helpful on Zoom calls when lighting in the room are not ideal. Everything in one place, simple and convenient. Just the way I like it." —Amy
Get it from Amazon for $149.98.
Psst — you can try an even *more* portable 12-in-1 Worky station for $99.98 on Amazon!
22. A Petcube, which is basically a Furbo without all the extra bells and whistles — this super-reliable pet-monitoring camera has a wide angle and night vision so you can check on your pet 24/7 and even talk to them, giving you a whole new peace of mind when you end up going into the office instead of working remotely at home with your furry friend.
Petcube is a California-based small business established in 2012 that specializes in interactive HD pet camera products.
It's also app enabled and can send you instant notifications, sync with Amazon Alexa, and even access a vet on demand if you notice any weird behaviors.
Promising review: "Unbeatable for the money. I needed a way to keep an eye on a new 4-month-old puppy who keeps digging holes in my yard. I didn't expect a lot for $39 but I was pleasantly surprised. The video is quick to get started and very clear, zoom is quick, and the night vision actually works. I haven't used any of the other features yet but these alone make this a great value! Far exceeding what I expected." —Rick Grisham
Get it from Amazon for $34.99.
23. A set of reusable silicone Stasher bags so you can meal prep food at the beginning of the week and jam it in one of these for easy meals and snacks while you're on the go — these are freezer-, fridge-, and microwave-safe, so you can easily toss them into your bag when you're headed to the office or wherever you're working remotely this week.
Promising review: "Okay okay. I jumped on the Stasher 'bag' wagon. I got these as part of the Prime Day deal and I was not disappointed. These have stood the test of time. Easy to wash and clean. Great for the freezer. You can sous vide with them. Maybe it’s overkill as a sandwich bag. But for meal prep and food storage I think they’re great. This sandwich size is the most versatile. I have all four sizes. Try it out." —Tina H.
Get it from Amazon for $9.21+ (available in four sizes and eight colors).
24. Or a set of glass meal prep containers that are safe in the oven and the microwave, meaning you can cook, reheat, and eat out of 'em during busy work weeks without ever bothering to go find a plate. Plus, these lids are tighter than the Pentagon.
Promising review: "Perfect for eco-friendly meal prep. I was looking to use less plastic and more glass in my meal storage which is why I ended up buying this set. The glass is thick and really durable, the lids fit snugly and everything is dishwasher-safe. I feel better knowing I don't have chemicals leaching into my food. Well-made product." —HoorayForCoffee
Get a set of five from Amazon for $29.99.
25. A set of colorful cable protectors for your chargers, because someone (*glares in the general direction of Apple HQ*) couldn't be bothered to make versions that don't break like twigs. These will stop them from bending and the wires from fraying when you're a busy working bee.
I (begrudgingly!!) got these recently for my Mac charger, because apparently the journey from my bedroom to the living room was just too much for my fragile cord's heart to bear, and it was starting to get worn at the charger end. This spiraled on in less than 10 seconds and has been great in terms of making sure the charger is still flexible and has some give, but isn't bending itself backward and daring me to let it break, either. Also loved how affordable it was compared to a $30 replacement charger.
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $4.95 (available in four color packs).
26. A pair of compression gloves designed to help alleviate pain from carpal tunnel and arthritis, so you can type at your keyboard in the various positions from your remote and in-office work without an internal monologue of "ow OW ow owwwww" for the majority of your workday.
Promising review: "I love these gloves, I’m actually wearing them right now. I have a degree in computer science which means that I’m constantly using my hands to code and mess around on computers. I use a computer at home and at work. By the end of the day my hands are sore and they hurt. These gloves work miracles. Before bed I put these on and I wear them all night. I get a good night's sleep when I wear them and I can tell when I forget to put them on because I sleep awful. I also like how easy it is to wash them. I hand wash but I’ll admit a couple of times I’ve just thrown in the washing machine because I was too tired to hand wash and they turn out completely fine, literally the same as if I would’ve hand washed. I’m 26 and I wear these gloves. My grandma is 69 and she wears these gloves. We both love these gloves very much!" —BritMcConnell
Get a pair from Amazon for $19.97 (available in three sizes).
27. A webcam cover for anyone whose personal motto is "juuuuuust in case" (as fun as it would be to accidentally invite all your coworkers to watch you slouching over a ham sandwich on a group Zoom on your one WFH day a week).
Psst — these also work on smart phones!
Promising review: "I bought these mostly because it’s 2020, and honestly everything is via Zoom these days. I never really thought about it til this year. These covers are easy to put on and work well. You can slide the cover with one finger. I would suggest turning on your camera first while you apply these to ensure the full camera is covered. One pack covered all my computers. They come off with a little effort and I didn’t notice a sticky residue. I tried applying and removing on my computer before trying on my kids school computers. Very very happy with this purchase!!" —Bethany Bradford
Get a set of three from Amazon for $6.99 (available in three color combinations).
28. A tiny (and delightfully portable!!) cactus humidifier that operates on a USB cable, so you can keep the air in today's designated computer space cozy and hydrating while you conquer the 57 tabs open on your monitor one by one.
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 three styles).
You trying to clean your travel-weary devices before investing in a device cleaner:
