Our wireless headphone testers for BuzzFeed Reviews say these are surprisingly comfortable for extended wear — which is great, because they boast 13 hours of playback time.
Promising review: "I waited over a month to write this review, because I thought there was no way these headphones could actually be this good for the price. But I use them all day every day and I have never been more impressed with headphones under under $50. I have sensitive ears with headphones and am super picky, but these are so comfortable I can sleep in them. Noise reduction is great when something is playing. Overall definitely worth the buy, highly recommend." —Whitney O'Neil

They're also safe and comfortable for sleeping!
Promising review: "I purchased these ear plugs because I suffer from something called annoying neighbors syndrome. I would liken the sounds coming from below and across from my apartment to that of an auto shop or a construction site, perhaps even an airplane hanger. Therefore, I have resulted to earplugs to ensure I get a somewhat worthwhile night of sleep. The contour capabilities of these earplugs make them incredibly comfortable to wear. After inserting the earplugs and allowing them to adjust, silence befell my bedroom. I was able to sleep free from the obnoxious noises that surround my apartment. These will be the only earplugs I wear from now on." —Emily Buss

Promising review: "I am so happy. I had a migraine for 11 days then came across this Headache Ease Balm. It has decreased the pain to a mild-medium headache which is a MASSIVE DROP IN MY PAIN. If you have a headache that's driving you nuts buy this it does help. Although I believe in herbal remedies my pain was so bad I didn't think it would help. I am so happy I decided to give it a try." —Journey

It's foldable so you can neatly store it whenever you're not using it.
Promising review: "If you are looking for an inexpensive way to get started with a standing desk, this is perfect solution! I've wanted to make the switch for some time, but all the options besides building a pile of books were way too expensive. This desk is a great value for the price. I work in a cramped office space, so the fact that it neatly folds up is a huge plus. I'm very happy with this product." —LMP34

It *also* blocks UV light and is anti-glare and scratch-resistant! It's available in eight sizes based on standard computer monitors so be sure to measure/look up your monitor first!
Promising review: "The privacy screen does exactly what it's supposed to. I no longer have to worry about my co-workers looking at what I am doing with my business. Also I must note that I no longer feel eye strain. This product never mentioned blue light blocking, but I must say I've recommended it to my other colleagues for this relief alone." —Jonathan
Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in eight sizes).
Promising review: "I love, love, love this. I’m ordering additional ones for my coworkers who were admiring my organizer. It was very easy to assemble (five minutes) and comes with the tools and screws needed. It was actually bigger than expected, but holds everything I need well. It looks great on my desk and holds my phone! I would definitely purchase again." —Tymisha R.
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in five patterns).
Of course, getting up and stretching is IMPORTANT and you shouldn't feel chained to your desk. But sometimes hydration ends up being more of a distraction than a benefit so this'll help prevent that. Plus you'll use less plastic!
Promising review: "I absolutely love the bottle that I received! I have been using this bottle since day one and have not had any issues or complaints. I was amazed at how well this bottle kept my water ice cold and even more amazed at how long it kept ice in the bottle (about 24 hours sometimes more). Granted the bottle did not stay full of ice, but to see that there was still remnants of ice left was pretty astonishing. It was also really nice to have the outside of the bottle not sweat or get cold to the touch so it was easy to hold and carry." —jkim023

Promising review: "I work at a desk about 11–12 hours a day with TONS of typing. Since using these, I've noticed less pain and strain in my wrists and hands, and they are also a great stress reliever. I've gotten people at my office hooked. I think they're totally worth the price." —Petite Loeb

It can hold up to 150 sheets in place! AND it folds flat for storage.
Promising review: "I love this as a writer. I was able to attach a miniature reading light to it and it holds my papers for when I'm typing or editing from them. I used to prop my papers up on anything and they'd slide down. This is great and I move it to the couch when I'm working on my laptop, too." —Terry Spear

Plus the lining is machine-washable!
Promising review: "As an audiobook narrator, I spend a great deal of time propped on my bum. It's difficult to concentrate on the book you're narrating when your bum goes numb. After trying a collection of folded towels and foam bed pillows, I took a chance on this pillow. OH MY. I can now sit for hours in complete posterior comfort. I thank you, and my listeners thank you." —J. Seybert

It's broken down into sections so you can organize their level of importance, from "do or die" (call your mom, lol) to "oughta do" (clean out your fridge, gross).
Promising review: "I'm always jotting notes and doodling when on the phone and having this mousepad prevents me from having a million notebooks on my desk. It inspires me and keeps me organized. It's definitely a favorite!" —Nicy0611

Promising review: "I LOVE these mints. They taste great in general and I've had every flavor. I never understood the caffeine crash from coffee people often complain about, because I used to drink loads of coffee and I didn't really experience one. In fact, I was always tired and I never got much of a caffeine boost. Then I started using these mints. I got a noticeable caffeine boost and I could tell when the boost was slowly fading away, but I never felt tired after. I just felt normal." —Queen Torres

*And* it has three color modes and a USB charging port.
Promising review: "In the last week I have (sincerely) told at least 10 people this was one of the best purchases of my life. No joke. This lamp is excellent. The three different light types are all great, and all have different useful applications. The field that the light covers is remarkably large, too. It is an even, bright, wide-spread light that can be adjusted with the five brightness settings. You can plug your phone into it. The power cord detaches from the base making it even easier to store. And it looks awesome, too. If you EVER WORK AT A DESK, I cannot recommend this lamp highly enough." —Spencer Mackey
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in two colors).
Promising review: "I originally bought this for the unique color and thought for the price I would give it a try. When I tried them on they were so comfortable. I wore them all day without any issues. Needless, to say I ordered another pair in black since I wear flats all the time to work. If you want shoes that look nice and are super comfortable, I would recommend these shoes. " —Scuba one

Promising review: "We used to have to charge our tablets and phones in different places, sometimes on our desk and sometimes on our bedroom floor. Now we can charge all of our devices at the same place on this same charging station. They are now safely being charged in one spot up high when I don't want kids messing with them. It's very convenient and organizes the pool of cables from my desk." —md osman

Just be sure to use the included pen, otherwise the pages won't wipe clean! The notebook comes with *32* reusable pages that can be uploaded to Google Drive, Dropbox, Evernote, Box, OneNote, Slack, iCloud, and email.
Promising review: "OMG! This device is so cool. It works beautifully. The scanning and syncing capabilities are awesome. I have it scanned and synced to my Microsoft Note account. Writing with the pen is smooth, and the paper feels like paper. It's easy to use a wet cloth to erase writing, just as claimed. I wish I had this product while in college. It's worth every penny." —Tulla Bell
Get it from Amazon for $34.
Promising review: "I think this is the most adorable thing ever. I bought it so I could keep it in my purse, but once I started working in an office, I decided to tuck it into my desk drawer. It's discreet, and when I need to go to the restroom, I can bring it along without anyone noticing. Now I don't need to use obnoxious chemicals to mask the smells. One of the women in my office has a sensitivity to chemical perfumes, so I'm sure she'd appreciate that I'm not contributing to her suffering." —brinnet

Promising review: "This is the perfect little humidifier. I love the lights and the mist settings. It's simple to fill up and rinse out if need be. I have it at my desk to alleviate the dryness from our way-too-stuffy, way-too-hot-and-dry office. My face used to get so dry, my skin would start itching and burning by the end of the day! The lighting helps create a really nice and soothing workspace (those harsh office lights are a killer on your eyes!) It almost looks like a spa! I’m recommending it to everyone on my team so they get one too!" —MsAnonymous

You can hang it up on your cubicle wall so it's easier to ~organize~ your week!
Promising review: "These are perfect for me to jot down to-do items as I think of them. Digital to-do lists are great, but they're easy to minimize or get hidden behind other windows I have open. I keep this pad on my desk, kind of in my way, so the list is always present and I can add or check things off as I go." —BWall

The monitor stand has a shelf to store folders, cables, etc., while the keyboard can organize smaller desk accessories!
Promising review: "I needed a way to elevate my Mac mini for cooling and stashing the smaller keyboard when I wasn't using it, without taking up more desk space. I put them on the middle shelf of this, I use the bottom space to stash other clutter, and I put my organizer on top. It looks good and helps me make use of my desk without taking up more of it." —SherMar

Promising review: "This pad is gorgeous with beautiful colors and lays perfectly. I bought this specifically because of the pad for my wrist. I had developed carpal tunnel, but after a day of using this my wrist is much better. I'd definitely buy this again — nice quality." —Lainey

Not to mention, a nutritious lunch will probably give you energy!
Promising review: "This is one of the best. It's super durable. The plastic is solid and strong, as well are the spoon and fork. For sealing, it has a rubber ring on the inside of the pieces to keep it completely sealed. What I love the most though is the inner dividers that can easily be removed to make one giant box, and that's perfect for me. I'm so happy with this that I might get another one." —savvy wincel

Plus! They're designed to prevent morning grogginess. Their vegan formula contains magensium, valerian root, chamomile, rice bran, and melatonin (and contain 60 capsules).
Promising review: "Over the last several years, I've always had problems with falling asleep and then sleeping throughout the night once I do fall asleep. I found this while searching for sleep aids and thought I would give it a try — and I'm glad I did! I take these 20–30 minutes before going to bed and I have no problem falling asleep now. Better yet, once I fall asleep, I sleep all night without waking up and feel much more well-rested the next day. Plus, there is no groggy feeling the next day." —Chris Hubbard

It's self-described as "part agenda, part gratitude journal, part schedule, part goal planner, and part life organizer" so daily tasks, such as finishing a report, doesn't feel so much like a mundane obligation, but more of a step toward your bigger goals (like a promotion!).
Promising review: "I have ADHD and it’s not just about having trouble staying organized — I have trouble getting momentum when tasks seem mundane or when I can’t see how they fit into the bigger picture. A lot of my daily work can feel pretty mundane, and that leads to a lot of procrastination and wasted time. But I sometimes have SO many AWESOME ideas (!!!) that my plans aren’t realistic, or I forget what I was trying to work on yesterday, and then I get discouraged. This planner is SO helpful because its month/week/day format makes me focus on the big picture, yet it allows me to break up large projects into more manageable pieces. The reflective portions also help me reframe my thinking when I don’t get through all of my tasks, so I don’t just get frustrated with myself and give up if I have a bad day or two." —krisalicious

Promising review: "I love this dress. It fits just right and is VERY comfortable to wear. I got it primarily to wear to work and still be comfortable around the office. It feels soft, is breathable, and is not see-through. I even felt comfy wearing it around the house after work when I usually am ready to strip off whatever I'm wearing to throw on some comfy laid back clothes." —Alexismd

Promising review: "This is a very nice fountain pen, especially for the price. This pen writes like a much more expensive fountain pen and can be used with both cartridges and ink, via the enclosed converter. It has good heft to it without being overly heavy. It has a nice feel in the hand and a smooth writing nib (I prefer a fine point). I have purchased several of these over the last couple of years and all of them are holding up perfectly." —MML
