Jerry & Maggie is a small business!
Promising review: "I needed some extra shelf space for my home office, especially now that we are working from home for the rest of the year. This was so so simple to set up and holds everything I need without any issues. You can also assemble it as you please which is a great feature!" —TanzA
Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in six colors).
2. A folding wall organizer to store your important documents are papers and help you cut down on the clutter that always seems to find its way onto your desk.
Promising review: "This is awesome and I love it. I work from home and I’ve been trying to keep my desk free from papers. This thing is awesome! The bottom pocket is large enough for me to store my day planner. I mounted it to the wall with a Command hook and it was easy-peasy! An attractive and functional way to sort and store paper. I love having all the papers I need readily available and visible so it reminds me that they're there, but not they are not overtaking my desk and irritating me." —Mandy
Get it from Amazon for $8.50+ (available in four colors).
3. A portable Bluetooth retro-style keyboard that'll replace the clunky one you received when your first started your job — this one is as cute as it is practical and can be used on the go.
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).
4. A precious little mushroom lamp for anyone who admittedly, spends most of their time hanging out at their desk. It comes with a remote that'll help you swiftly choose from 16 colors and four brightness modes.
Check it out in this adorable desk setup from @kailacottage.
Promising review: "Cute, cute, cute! This is one of the cutest night lights ever! Not only does it change colors; it can 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 $27.99.
5. Retro-inspired notepads that aren't sticky, so you can quickly write down a reminder to pick up milk on the way home and throw it into your bag without fear of it coming out covered in crumbs and debris. Gross.
These are a popular pick on TikTok — you can get a closer look at them here!
Promising reviews: "They are so cute. Will be purchasing again! Giving my office area character, color, and good vibes. Happy customer!!!" —Capri
"These aren’t sticky notes, just memo pads so if you’re looking for sticky notes, you might want to pass on these. However, these are SO CUTE! They come in five different styles that are all well printed. The colors are great, and the paper is good. Not super thin or anything. There’s a good number of each design in the pad, so I feel like the quality and value is definitely there. I am now using these on the daily! 10/10 love these!!" —Mary M.
Get a set of five from Amazon for $8.99.
6. A pack of transparent sticky notes, so when you write yourself lil' reminders you can place them anywhere and everywhere without taking away from the aesthetic you've created for your workspace.
Promising review: "These are amazing! We use them for so many things! For positive messages and romantic nights, they are amazing for leaving around the house! You can also stick them to paper and restick the same ones over and over again! They seem to never lose their adhesion! Everyone I’ve shown these to fall in love with them!" —Faith
Get a pack of 10, 50 sheet pads from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in seven sizes).
7. A set of colorful gel pens that'll make you even more excited to color code your to-do lists. When all the pens are placed together on your desk it'll look like a gorgeous spring bouquet — just lovely!
I have these pens at *my* desk and, honestly, adore them. I know, they're just pens...but they add some much-needed color to mundane tasks. These write very smoothly and don't smudge (a big win in my book). I've even given them as gifts! The set comes with eight different colors (orange, red, pink, blue, green, black, metallic gold, and metallic silver).
Get them from Amazon for $40.
8. A transparent mouse and memo pad you can use to keep your to-do list under hand, literally. You won't be able to make excuses about "forgetting to call your mom back" when it's written down in front of you all day, sorry!
The pad itself is split into three sections: weekly plans, to-do items, and notes, and the top transparent cover for your mouse is non-slip and waterproof.
Promising review: "What you see is exactly what you get. There are two transparent sheets to keep notes/cards and such separated. Writing on the mat is very comfortable, and I love being able to use it as a mouse pad as well. This uses a plastic-type sheet so you can just wipe them off. Since this mat can be cleaned, I don't see having to ever buy a replacement unless this one becomes torn. Of course, I did end up buying another one because I originally purchased this mat for work and loved it so much I purchased one for home use." —JC
Get it from Amazon for $13.88 (available in two colors).
9. Self-adhesive sliding under-desk drawers for anyone who has a plethora of pens but no room for a filing cabinet or clunky desk — these can be popped right under the sleek space-saving desk you already own!
Promising review: "This product works exactly as I'd hoped and is now neatly under my desk without taking up so much room that I bump it or knock it off when I sit down. Adhesive stuck on easily and feels very sturdy. Remember to be realistic in terms of the weight of objects you put in these drawers (i.e. don't fill it with heavy items and then get upset when the adhesive wears down quickly). Pens, paperclips, sticky notes, earbuds, and scissors all fit in mine and I will definitely buy these again for our other desks." —Shopping Mama
Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three colors).
You can also check out these under-desk storage products to clear up some more clutter on your desktop!

STORi is a small business!
Promising review: "These organizers are perfect. I use them at my makeup station, work desk, bathroom drawers, and pantry. They are so sturdy and easy to clean. I will continue to purchase these as I organize my house!" —Kylie Manns
Get a six-piece set from Amazon for $14.99 (also available in an 18-piece set).

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in four colors and two sizes).
12. Pretty in pink desk accessories to transform your desk from "hot mess" to "oh, yes!" The set comes with everything you could possibly need to keep your space nicely organized.
Each set includes a pen cup, mail organizer caddy, paper tray, magazine holder, and sticky note holder. Blu Monaco is a small business that sells organizational products.
Promising review: "I fell in love with this set the moment it came out of the box. It is sturdy, well-made and definitely worth the price. My living room is all pink and I just inherited my grandmothers writing desk so this fit in beautifully. I am a writer and like to make my writing space as inviting and lovely as possible. This desk set helps me keep my papers, mail, note pad, writing journals, and pens beautifully organized. Worth every cent." —MRS
Get it from Amazon for $35+ (available in seven colors).
13. A ventilated cable management box that'll hide the messy bundle of cords that live under your desk and likely inspired someone at Disney to title a movie Tangled.
Promising review: "A must-buy product for your messy home or office. Exactly what I was looking for to help save space and hide my cable cords." —Andrew Olson
Get it from Amazon for $17.29 (and check out an option that'll blend in with wood floors)!
14. A TikTok-famous padded office chair for anyone (like myself) who can't seem to shake the need to sit cross-legged at all times — even during the work day. It's height-adjustable and has an ergonomic mid-back for support so you can sit any damn way you please.
Check it out on TikTok here!
Promising reviews: "Buy this chair. I’ve bought so many office chairs over the years. The classic Goldilocks story: This one’s too bulky, this one’s too flimsy, that one has too much hard plastic, yada yada. I think this one might be it. Really comfortable, solid build, attractive, but the best feature is the wide seat. I can crisscross my legs easily to relieve the pressure in my hips, which is life-changing if you’re chained to your desk sitting in meetings all day." —Larissa Harrison
Get it from Amazon for $219.99+ (clip the coupon on the product page to get $11 off this price; available with or without wheels).
15. A convenient electric standing desk that'll let you *~mix things up~* throughout the day — or at the very least when your Apple Watch starts harassing you with "it's time to stand." It also comes with some storage, so you can try your best to keep your workspace orderly.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes says: "I've been using the FlexiSpot Comhar EG8 standing desk for well over a year now, and I really can't recommend it enough if you're ready to invest in a high-quality standing desk. I have the white desk with a glass top, and it looks super modern and elegant in my living room. There's a thin drawer in the front — you won't be storing anything super thick in there, but it's great for putting papers, Post-its, and other small items out of the way.
The actual standing desk feature works like a charm — since it's just me using this desk, I only use two of the four height presets: one for my sitting position, and one for my standing position. An anti-collision feature is also built in, meaning the desk will stop moving if it detects an obstacle in its way. I've found this feature can be a little hit or miss, so it's best to keep the area clear and just be attentive as it moves up and down. The child lock is *particularly* handy — I don't have kids around, but it's easy to bump into the control panel and accidentally activate the desk if you don't have this lock turned on."
Promising review: "I’ve been wanting to get a sit/stand desk for a while and this one was perfect for my home office! It was easy to put together, stylish (love the minimal design and bamboo like top), solid, and especially love the smoothness of the way it goes up and down. There are settings you can set up to your liking. The extra USB connections are helpful too. It’s not often a table this sleek has any storage, so was happy to find one with a drawer to store all my essentials as well. Highly recommend it!!" —Jessica Uzarraga
Get it from Amazon for $399.99+ (available in two sizes, three styles, and nine colors).
16. A handmade coaster with pressed flowers inside that'll look so stunning on your desk you won't be able to imagine why anyone would possibly want to stow it away in a drawer.
17. A set of chic gold cable organizers to keep your wires neat 'n' tidy without taking away from your fabulously coordinated office aesthetic.
Brighttia is a New York-based Etsy shop established in 2018 that specializes in industrial and modern interior lighting and decor.

18. A magical floating bookshelf you can mount next in your office to prevent your stack of inspirational books from piling up on your desk.
The smaller ones can hold up to 15 pounds!
BuzzFeed editor Kayla Boyd loves hers: "I love my floating bookshelves because they save a lot of space and since I colorized them, they look like fun decor in my room. It definitely helps me get excited about reading more since they're so cute and visible. The shelves were also super easy to hang and, as you can see, they're very sturdy.
Get it from Amazon for $16.20+ (available in two sizes, two color, and as a set of three).
19. A vibrant poster-sized wall planner that'll add a world of color to your home office while also helping you keep your dates straight. (Easier said than done, TBH!)
Get it from our Goodful shop for $48.
20. A roll of peel-and-stick wallpaper you can count on to revamp your office into an entirely new space — it'll literally feel like your walls are singing the Taylor Swift lyrics "I once was poison ivy but now I'm your daisy."
See one way to use it in this TikTok from @astoldbymichelle, who revamped their kitchen cabinets with this gorgeous paper!
Promising review: "In love with this daisy paper!! My project turned out beautifully!! Good quality and amazing adhesion!" —Tony
Get a 16.5-foot roll from Amazon for $24.99.
21. Or a roll of peel-and-stick wallpaper, in case you've been dying to transform your office space into a scene from literally any Wes Anderson film.
We chose our wedding venue specifically around the fact it was filled with incredible wallpaper — just like this print. It's really easy to apply (peel-and-stick!) and can be removed, so don't stress if you're renting. It can also be used to jazz up other items like bookcases.
Promising review: "Love this wallpaper. I have used it in my home office space, the wall at my back. All my meetings are video calls and everyone was very impressed and has liked the background during my calls." —Pooja
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in three sizes and two colors).
22. A Lego flower bouquet you'll enjoy assembling and appreciate much more than a vase filled with living florals that will, sadly, die in a few days. Place it in its fully built glory on your desk for all to admire.
Check out this viral Lego flower bouquet in this TikTok from @shaelorend.
The bouquet includes 15 stems with a mix of flower and leaf varieties, including roses, snapdragons, and poppies, and it uses elements made from plant-based plastic.
Promising review: "Buy this for anyone in your life who loves gardening and you are guaranteed to see their face light up when they open it up. Got it for my mom on her birthday and she thought it was the coolest gift ever." —Greg
Get it from Amazon for $47.99.
23. A nonslip Kawaii desk pad with a too-cute design on it showcasing a lil' floral shop, bakery, and cafe you'll wish you could skip off to for a stroll.
Promising review: "This mat is beautiful! Just as advertised — it covers and protects my desk while looking adorable. The mat feels high quality, the print is clear, and adds just the right amount of thickness. With this, I do not need a separate mouse pad, which helps save space. I’m very pleased with the value of this mat." —MSDubya
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
24. Or a waterproof office desk pad featuring a more minimal design you'll love because it can be wiped down with a wet cloth for easy cleaning. IDK about you, but my iced coffee cup is constantly sweating all over my desk and leaving a wet mess in its wake.
These waterproof office desk pads also offer dual-sided usage so you'll have two color options in one!
Promising review: "I got the biggest size, and the quality is much better than I had expected. I didn't want a fabric desk mat because they get dirty much faster, and if you spilled something, you would have to wash it. At least with this desk mat, I can just simply wipe it off. I also like that I can flip it and use the opposite side, which has a different color." —Kay Kang
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four sizes and 20 colors).
25. A waterproof, stain-resistant faux marble granite adhesive that'll give your old desk an entirely new life or upgrade your ratty bathroom counters into ones you'd admire on Pinterest.
Promising review: "I took a chance and bought this originally as a 'Band-Aid fix' to refinish a desk. I had looked in stores in the contact paper aisles, but all of them were just that... paper. THIS item is actually a thin sheet of vinyl(?) with adhesive, and I ended up liking it so much I bought more and re-finished my kitchen countertop with it as well! Highly recommended if you want to change the look of your counters but you don't have the money for a full remodel just yet. It can be cleaned with dish soap and water just like a real countertop." —Ezra Boyd
Get it from Amazon for $9.49+ (available in five sizes).
26. A set of simple picture frames you can fill with your favorite printed photos (how chic would they look in black and white?!) or with art prints you've had your eye on foreverrrrr.
Promising review: "First, I love that the front is not glass. The frames are lightweight, so it gives me flexibility when hanging. They're nice frames and I'm glad I bought them. They are now displaying my favorite artwork pieces my children have brought to me from school." —Amazon Customer
Get a set of five for $18.99+ (available in seven colors and 14 sizes).
27. An under-desk electric treadmill complete with an LED display that shows time, speed, and distance. It also features a quiet motor, and Bluetooth capabilities so you can blast "I Can Go The Distance" a la Hercules while getting your steps in and perusing your emails.
See it in action in this TikTok here. The speed range is 0.5–6mph, and it can hold up to 220 pounds.
Promising review: "This thing is awesome. I'm a small, not technical person and managed to haul this thing up two flights of stairs (slowly), unbox, turn on and even connect my phone to the Bluetooth in it. No assembly. Simple instructions. Distance and time measurements seem to be accurate, but the 'calories' might be missing a decimal point. No squealing or groaning under my walking. Not too loud. Slides right under my bed. Didn't need to adjust the belt, though the tool to do so is included. Packaging says to oil every 30 hours. The remote is needed to make the treadmill function. It is extremely cheap — like dollar store cheap. I hope the company has a remote replacement for if/when the remote bites it. Even still, I would 100% buy this again. Great treadmill!" —Crowells
Get it from Amazon for $318.99+ (available in four colors).
28. A Voluspa candle in a gorgeous jar that'll make your home smell divine while also adding a pretty piece of decor to the room. If it were acceptable to soak your entire body in a candle scent....this is the one I'd want to cover myself in from head to toe.
I would sell my soul for a French Cade Lavender Voluspa candle — no joke. It's absolutely one of my all time favorite candles. I typically buy one for my sister once a year because they're easily her number one fave. There's something that feels so elegant about the design of the glass jars and scents of these candles that keeps me coming back to them time after time. They're known for being a bit pricey but, honestly, they're worth it. Additionally, Volupsa is considered a small business!
Promising review: "This candle smells INCREDIBLE and lasts FOREVER! I’ve purchased this exact candle several times over the years and plan on continuing to do so so in the future. The lavender scent isn’t too strong but does make my room smell heavenly almost immediately after lighting it. I would like to eventually try other scents but I can’t tear myself away from this one!" —Cassie
Scent notes: French Cade Wood, Verbena and Bulgarian Lavender
Get it from Amazon for $35 (available in four scents).
29. Or a set of three flameless flickering candles you can control with a remote, perfect for any reader who is prone to dozing off while turning pages. Cozy ambience? Check. Zero chance of setting your curtains a flame? Check, check.
Check out a TikTok of the flameless candles in action.
Promising review: "I bought the gold glass candle set. It's almost iridescent gold and looks very elegant. The flame actually moves back and forth. I have mine set to come on in the evening and go off after four hours. The remote allows you to control the brightness of the candle, set a timer for auto on and off, and you can control how bright you want the actual candle inside the glass. I love them and plan to buy the gray glass set for my bedroom. Buy them, you will love them!" —Tammy B.
Get them from Amazon for $20.49+ (available in six styles).
30. An arc floor lamp that'll add the perfect amount of light to your space without making it as bright as the sun (yikes). It'll illuminate your desk and ensure you're good to go whenever you have a meeting to virtually call into.

Brightech is a California-based small business that specializes in home lighting.

Get it from Amazon for $74.99 (available in two colors).
31. A thin bar light to brighten your work station, a must-have if you find yourself burning to midnight oil far more often than you'd like.
Promising review: "It's a good option for a streamer that has an overhead camera that shows-off their custom keyboard, gaming mouse, or artisan desk mat. Highly recommended and for the price, it's worth every dollar you spend." —MarkusTechCorner
Get it from Amazon for $109+ (available in three styles).
32. An acrylic dry-erase board for anyone who appreciates minimal decor — it'll blend right in and provide you with the perfect spot to jot down your schedule for the work week.

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 LOOKING like an office in the bedroom is challenging but this acrylic board is PERFECT. The black pen that comes with it has very nice fine tip and erases without a trace." —Dawn Powell
Get it from 1801 & Co. on Etsy for $13.46+ (available in several thicknesses and sizes as well as four hardware colors).
33. A Logi Dock that'll impress anyone who works from home and is tired of their desk being cluttered by wires — this gadget will provide one easy location for them to plug their monitor, chargers, etc into while *also* acting as a speaker phone for their meetings!
My husband has this gadget and it's been a lifesaver for him. He uses the same monitor/mouse/etc for both his self-built PC and with the Macbook he works off of, so it was always a hassle to switch between the two and have enough ports available for all the things he wanted to plug-in. This totally solved the problem!
Get it from Logitech for $399 (available in two colors).
34. A ceramic plant pot and wood stand to add a touch of style to your office and give your beloved plant baby the home it deserves.

They are extremely lightweight and look so good in our room. I wanted a more intimate lighting so my significant other could have their light on at night if I was sleeping, so I wouldn’t wake up. I like them so much I would buy them again." —Lauren Cammarata
Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in four styles).
37. And linen curtains to block light when necessary and add some warmth and color in any room you hang them.
