    38 Affordable Things To Make Your WFH Space Feel Way More Personal

    Sorry to your whole office that this Baby Yoda mousepad is now your favorite coworker.

    1. An adorable We Rate Dogs daily calendar to brighten up your day every single time you sit down at your desk. What? Did we do?? To deserve dogs????? 😭

    3. A The Office door sign any fan of the show deserves to hang outside their home office area for authenticity's sake (after all, you miss 100% of the signs you don't hang).

    4. A set of sheer drapes so you can steal a little bit of nature even when you're 87 tabs deep (and still have plenty of sunlight streaming through your window during the work day).

    Promising review: "Super easy to set up. It doesn’t take up a lot of space and it also looks like it’s art so it doesn’t have to be just for makeup or sitting on a vanity. I put this on my office desk so I can check my teeth and stuff throughout the day. It’s a really great piece to have around without seeming like a mirror." —Tasha

    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 but not LOOK like 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

    UMMMM I bought this because it was on one of Amazon's top-selling products pages for so long that I was like, "Why are people so obsessed with this moon!!" And now, my friends, I know. First of all, it really does look hyper realistically like a small moon and adds a chill vibe wherever you plant it. But it's also just so soothing to watch and have in the periphery. You can control dozens of different colors for it and either keep it on those colors or have them alternate, fade quickly, or fade gradually. It's super easy to charge and controlled by a remote, so you can move it off its stand and have it light up wherever you want. These days I tend to turn it on for my designed ~me time~ night every week, in which I will light a candle, pour a glass of red wine, read a romance novel, and, of course, light my lil' moon. Definitely one of my favorite "the internet made me do it" purchases. 

    Shipping: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five sizes). 

    32. A portable dual monitor for your laptop so you can go all "Professor X" on your work flow no matter *where* you are — a real perk now that your home office situation might change from room to room depending on what everyone else in the house needs on any given day.

    35. A selfie ring light complete with three light settings, 10 brightness settings, *and* and an adjustable tripod stand so you can set the lighting tone for all your Zoom calls to your exact specifications.

    36. A Baby Yoda mousepad so no matter what happens during your workday, you'll still be able to say without one ounce of irony that you have the cutest coworker in the galaxy.
