We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A SideTrak swivel screen monitor that has a magnetic strip that attaches to any laptop screen or desktop your WFH pal is currently working on. This is a game changer for anyone who has multiple tabs open at once — more monitors means more space to see all those open windows.
2. A simplehuman trash can aka a super luxurious way to store one's trash, but trust me: it's WORTH IT. I have had this for a bit now — it's super easy to clean *and* it doesn't smell much, even in a tiny NYC apartment! This is a perfect kitchen upgrade for anyone on your gift list, really.
3. A mushroom mug for the person in your life who simply cannot stop talking about Fantastic Fungi. This is an enamel mug, so it'll be perfect for your camping friends, too!
4. An enamel Dutch oven your giftee will use endlessly, whether they're baking sourdough, stewing some veggies, or making a soup.
5. A set of sprout bookmarks if the bookworm you know likes to decorate their book collection with their plant babies.
6. A 16-piece Rubbermaid food storage set because everyone has that one person in their life who practically lives on organization TikTok. This set has gone viral for keeping fruits and veggies fresh while looking sleek in a fridge or pantry.
7. A TheraICE headband cool to the touch for some sweet relief from chronic migraines. It wraps around the entire head and blocks out sunlight for when a headache strikes. As someone who has migraines myself — I, for one, would sing praises of the person who got this for me.
8. A toilet light with a motion detector. Before you question this, let me explain: if you have a family member who makes trips to the WC in the middle of the night, they might not want to fully wake themselves up by turning on the overhead light. This provides just enough light in the bathroom for them to get the job done, then go straight back to bed.
9. An HP portable printer because your bestie doesn't have to be a professional photographer to earn the right to print their favorite memories. This prints 2x3 photos — the perfect mini-size pics to hang from a photo clip string light!
10. A Luna controller for the gamer in your life who is always collecting the latest gadgets. Luna is Amazon’s new cloud gaming service that uses Bluetooth to let you game on devices you already own like a Windows PC, Mac, Fire TV, or select Samsung Smart TVs — so no need to buy new hardware. Plus, it's Alexa-capable — how neat is that?
11. A write-in menu book with breathtaking illustrations that'll go perfectly with your parents' beautiful recipes! This is great if your giftee LOVES touching pen to paper and is always in the kitchen whipping up something new. Plus, it looks like a fancy recipe book! Because... it is a fancy recipe book... just homemade. :-)
12. A sound machine for your WFH mate who has a mug that says, "don't talk to me until I've had my *three* cups of coffee." This sound machine is equipped with meditations, ambient and nature sounds, body scans, and even bedtime stories to help them fall asleep, while a sunrise feature gently wakes them up according to their circadian cycles. The results are feeling like they've woken up naturally — not abruptly by a blaring alarm.
13. A K-beauty mascara that TikTok is *raving* about for its ability to add length and volume to even the shortest of lashes. And thanks to its waterproof formula, this mascara actually holds a curl all day long (even in super-hot or damp weather). If your beauty-lover friend is always jumping on the latest K-beauty innovations, they'll looove this.
14. A copy of Burn After Writing, a journal containing questions and thought experiments so that your giftee can tap into themselves while unplugging at the end of the day. They can either burn this book after writing (ha, ha...) or keep it to see a physical manifestation of their growth.
15. A three-tiered organizer so your skincare-loving bestie can have a place to display all their finest serums and masks! This also works well under kitchen sinks to store extra sponges and cleaning products.
16. Or a tray with legs if your friend *does* love skincare, but they're more of a product minimalist. This is also great for housing a coffee station in the kitchen, or a perfume collection on a vanity!
17. A mini projector that your cinephile friend will use over and over again! I have this projector, and it has turned my nightly bedtime anime-watching routine into a cinematic experience!
18. And a soundbar to go with the projector! Or, you know, to go with their PC or TV. This soundbar is just 15 inches long, which is why a ton of people love using this in RVs or with their kitchen TVs.
19. A retro yet wireless keyboard that *looks* like a vintage typewriter, but has wireless capabilities that can work with computers, laptops, tablets, and even smartphones! Get this for your poet friend who prioritizes aesthetically pleasing writing sessions over everything else.
20. And a farmhouse detergent bin for your pal whose house looks like it's in the middle of a lavender grove in France. This detergent bin has a scoop for powdered detergent, but can also hold detergent pods.
