1. A sweet bubble tea pencil holder who is just goin' about trying its best, just like you. It pops up into a case for your stationery when you want to take it on the go, and retracts into a standing holder when you need easy access to your pens at your desk. Love!
Promising review: "Adds the perfect touch of whimsy to my workspace! I absolutely love this pen case! It's cute with plenty of space for my pens, highlighters, lotion, earbuds, and lip balm. The fact that it zips is another big plus because I can toss it into my work bag and nothing falls out. I have gotten several compliments at work! I don't have a designated workspace, so I travel with all my work necessities, and this keeps everything I need for immediate use in one small space." —Kindryll
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in five colors).
2. A darling mini desk vacuum that'll have your back as it quickly and quietly suctions up all the little stuff you happen to spill on your desk — cookie crumbs, bits of chips, eraser shavings, little pieces of paper, and, if you're me, SURELY more.
It runs on two AA batteries and is slightly larger than an average computer mouse.
Promising reviews: "Works like a charm! So far I've used it on cracker crumbs, dust, and eraser bits. It has little brushes on the bottom and sucks everything up in seconds. To empty it you just pop the bottom off and dump it out. Some of the smaller crumbs can get stuck but a little brush or something would get them right out. The sound it makes is just a little louder than a small fan. I love it so much, can't stop admiring it on my desk." —Dee
"The best silly purchase ever honestly. I thought it would be useful but I had no idea it’d be as useful as it actually is. Suction is great, it’s adorable..just get one! You won’t regret it." —Alexis
Get it from Amazon for $10.78+ (available in four styles). PS: The mini cow vacuum version is also to die for!

5. An adorable yet sturdy cat sticky note dispenser to keep you company at your desk, make you smile when you're stressed or tired, and oh yeah — make sure your sticky notes are neat and organized, too! Reviewers also say it's weighty enough to use as a paperweight. A legend and an icon.

6. A hilarious little screaming goat — give him a press, and he'll let out a bleaaaaaty scream that's guaranteed to be, simply, a very good time. *Cue Taylor Swift's "I Knew You Were Trouble" (Goat Remix)*
It comes with the infamous goat and a small book with fun facts about goats. The goat is 3 inches tall and comes with a battery already inside.
Promising review: "I spend about 90% of my day silently screaming at the computer because, well, welcome to customer service. Since this little goat arrived, I no longer look like I am practicing for my appearance on Jerry Springer. I just push the little goat. He screams (but not in a disruptive way). I smile. I am no longer annoyed." —Gab
Get it from Amazon for $7.77.
7. Some dreamy planner notepads that are so gosh dang adorable they'll actually help you with motivation and productivity — and are pretty much guaranteed to make you smile at your desk approximately 100 times more often.
It would be an understatement to say that I'm obsessed with this shop. I am head over heels entranced with this shop. Their lo-fi, nostalgic style brightens up my workspace so much and really helps encourage me to stay organized – because I love looking at and using their stationery! I also just appreciate the sense of whimsy and fun that their products add to what can otherwise be stressful work days or daunting tasks; the graphics on their planner pads help me stay more positive, and more on top of my work in general. TL;DR: These are a ray of sunshine that any desk worker or organizing buff would be incomplete without. They also make incredible gifts!

9. An adorable glasses display stand so you can keep your reading or blue light glasses secure in the trusty hands of a *very enthused* animal helper.
Promising review: "Cutest way to store your glasses. I don't like storing my glasses in their case — I like to be able to just reach for them. But they are also unsafe when they are just sitting on my desk. This little koala solves my problem! He holds my glasses securely and does it in the cutest way possible. Now I can sit at my desk, grab my glasses, and get to work with a smile on my face. And at the end of the day, I just leave them with my Koala for safe keeping. Seriously, just get one. I haven't lost my glasses once since I got this." —Bianca
