1. A keyboard cover they'll thank you for when they inevitably spill their morning latte on their v expensive laptop.
Promising review: "Still looking good years later! This item is definitely long lasting and worth your money! I purchased this keyboard protector over three years ago and I'm still using it to this day! It's in tip top condition and has not worn out. I love that the color is black, as it does not show any signs of being dirty, and appears to be newer than it actually is. And the feel of it, while it takes a little getting used to in comparison to your normal keyboard, is nice, soft, and smooth." —Em C.

2. A cute tissue box cover — it's so fun to pull tissues out of the chimney and will look so cute on their desk!
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly loves this: "Perhaps the reason I’ve been so bad at keeping around a box of tissues is because tissues just look...kind of ugly out in the open. But not with this lil’ cover! Now it’s a ~design element~ that I’ll hopefully remember to keep full. For now, it’s filled with a square box of tissues I unearthed from my old apartment’s closet while packing; it's presently neatly housed inside the tissue box cover, providing the 'smoke' for the tiny chimney. The only downside to committing to this box is that I'll have to buy square-shaped tissue boxes only now. But I can live with that. And with my not-snotty nose."

3. A Mr. Coffee mug warmer so their hot, life-giving coffee stays the perfect temperature from the first sip to the last — no matter how long it takes them to drink it!
Promising review: "It's going on a little over a year since I got this coffee warmer, and I felt I needed to let everyone know that this is the best coffee warmer I've gotten. I work 7 a.m.–5 p.m. and it is on the entire time, five to six days a week. It keeps my tea at just the right temperature. Not scalding or room temperature like other warmers I've purchased. The 60-inch cord is long enough to go across my large desk. The hot plate is 3.25 inches in diameter, making it the right size for even my large-bottomed coffee mug. It's not cumbersome having it sit on my desk." —Christin Fern

5. A rechargeable hand warmer with three temperature levels for anyone whose hands are always cold when they're sitting at their desk. Plus, they can even use it to charge their phone!
Promising review: "This hand warmer is amazing! My hands are constantly cold, and I've tried all sorts of products to help keep them warm, but nothing has worked until now. I charge the hand warmer every night with a standard USB charger and the next day, I have hours of warmth. The three temperature settings are very helpful — I use the highest setting when I'm outdoors for long periods of time and the lower settings when I'm indoors (e.g., sitting at my desk or in a cold movie theater). I've already given hand warmers as gifts to several cold-handed friends and family members and they're loving it as well." —RK

6. A dimmable sad duck night-light that'll have them saying "SAAAAAME" at the end of long work days. They'll love having someone cute to commiserate with, and the yellowish glow will help brighten and warm up their space.
Promising review: "I ordered this lamp because of its appearance. I didn't NEED a depressed duck lamp...but it has totally filled a void in my life I didn't know existed. Everyone who sees it pokes it. The lamp is actually very functional. It's got a really nice set of brightness options and the glow is yellowish, which is much nicer than white in a dim/dark room. One thing that isn't mentioned in the description is that its legs are utterly floppy. It's terrific." —Literated

Promising review: "Designed for the minimalist. If you like fancy designs, this is not for you. It is a great functional design. Small enough to not get in the way on my desk, but large enough to write your lists and activities for the week. I love the simplicity of the layout. Recommended for anyone who likes to jot things down during the course of the day and keep track of tasks and upcoming appointments of events." —ElleH

Psst — if you want to jazz this up a bit, reviewers love these fine point rainbow-colored pens for planners and journals on Amazon!
10. *And* a Rocketbook smart reusable notebook — it'll blast their handwritten notes and doodles straight to their preferred cloud service so they can save them forever. Then they can simply wipe the pages blank using the included cloth and start fresh without constantly having to buy a new notebook!
This is especially useful for students or anyone else who's always taking notes! The package includes the notebook (with 36 dotted pages), a Pilot Pen, and microfiber cleaning cloth. There's another version of Rocketbook that includes a planner!
Promising review: "I absolutely love these books. It’s so easy to take notes and upload them to the Rocketbook app and view them later. It also allows for me to only use one notebook for all my classes. Given that I can upload my notes — it makes it so much easier to study. Personally, I have a habit of losing the notes I take in class so having them uploaded to the app makes it easy and convenient to look at them when I need them. Overall, Rocketbook has really changed my academic life. I’m definitely going to continue to buy their products." —Justice A.

11. A super comfy heated eye massager so they can bask in the ultimate relaxation after a long day at their desk. This device has five different massage modes to help relieve pain from eye strain and headaches, *and* it can play music via Bluetooth!
Promising review: "I saw this product on one of Amazon’s must-have TikTok videos and I knew I had to get it. It was so worth it — even though price may seem higher compared to other sellers, this is for sure a good investment piece. The quality is top notch, the strap that goes around your head is comfortable, and most importantly, the duration of each mode is long enough that it doesn’t interrupt your rest. I work a 12-hour night shift as a nurse and this technology has helped me get through the night easily. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽" —Amazon Customer

12. A chic desk organizer for anyone who could use a fashionable way to keep their office supplies from being strewn all over their desk.
Promising review: "I'm in medical school and we still have some classes on Zoom, so having a tidy workspace is super important. This helped me organize some of my desk space and also looks super cute! It has a spot for full-sized papers/folders, a smaller space where I keep notecards, a small drawer, two small upright compartments which fit all of my pens and highlighters, and another front compartment that I keep sticky notes in. It's one of the more functional organizational products I've bought." —Mallory Flowers

13. A super cute cactus humidifier that'll keep their workspace from feeling too stuffy while making their desk look extra ~sharp~.
It's USB-powered and automatically shuts off after four hours.
Promising review: "This little thing did wonders for my skin in my office. I'm right next to a window so I often have to run my space heater, which dries the daylights out of my skin. This thing is easy to set up, well worth the money, and super cute. My eyes and nose stay moisturized, and my skin looks better than it ever does in the winter. It's made for small spaces, so make sure you're within a foot or two of the mist so you can benefit fully." —Amazon Customer

14. Some cable clip organizers so they don't have to dig through an unruly mountain of cords on the floor next to their desk every single time they need a charger.
Promising review: "It was always a pain to reach down the side of my bed to reach my chargers, not to mention the wad of cables I’d have to sift through just to charge my phone. I finally searched for a solution and came across these. They’re great! They’re really easy to stick on and they stay in place. I haven’t had an issue of them falling off. Whenever I need to charge a device they’re right next to me, easy to reach and untangled. I definitely recommend!" —Nurse Nelis

16. A memory foam wrist rest to help relieve the discomfort of spending all day with the dynamic duo of mouse and keyboard.
Promising review: "Not much more I can say that others haven't, but this is probably one of the best investments I've made in my physical health. By that I mean not ending every day with wrist pain. The pieces are super comfortable and raise my hands on the keyboard and mouse perfectly. The material is very soft and smooth." —Alex D

17. A small but powerful personal space heater — it'll keep them nice and toasty even if their workspace tends to run cold.
Promising review: "I bought this to use under my desk to keep my feet warm. It's perfect and as you can see it's little (about the size of a medium coffee), so it's not in the way of me hitting it with my feet. There's a safety button on the bottom so the heater stops working when it's tipped over, picked up, or not on a level surface. I like that feature a lot. Definitely recommend purchasing if you need a little heater at a decent price!" —Ta2dmom

18. A desktop dry-erase whiteboard they'll love using to write down important notes and reminders, saving paper in the process!
The whiteboard also comes with a dry-erase marker, an accessory channel (to hold the marker), and a storage drawer.
Promising review: "OMG where was this 20 years ago?I have terrible ADHD and would always misplace to-do lists, or misplace clipboards with reminders on them. They would get lost in the shuffle. Smartphone reminders are more of a hassle than they are worth with some informal lists that you think of spur of the moment (though sometimes they are great). Unlike other boards, I can put this in front of my FACE under the computer screen so I never overlook or forget it like every other system I've ever used in my miserable life. This acts like a much more stylish and effective anchor or central 'office' for my quick VIP reminders. THANK YOU!"—D Louis

This little dancing dude is 18 inches tall! It uses 9-volt alkaline batteries (must be new) or an AC adapter — using an AC adapter with the proper specs is the recommended choice for best performance.
Promising review: "I opened the package and screamed for joy! As I placed the 9-volt battery, my hands were trembling with what was going to happen next! As I turned on the wacky waving inflatable tube man I knew I have a friend for life. Someone you can really count on cheering you up when you are feeling down. He brought me such joy I started to cry with laughter and happiness." —Robert Wurstner

Check out all the Nespresso pods you can get here!
Promising review: "Best product I have purchased from Amazon! I was licking to get it on a great sale. I am not much of a coffee drinker but Jesus Christ, the difference between this and the Keurig 2.0 that I have is like not even comparable. This machine makes the best coffee I have ever had. My fiancé makes coffee every morning and I started enjoying it too. The milk frother makes it even better. There are so many options to try from (even pumpkin spice!). You can literally have your own Starbucks at home. It is also a lot cheaper than Starbucks (not cheaper than a regular coffee machine tho considering a pot is like a dollar)." —Vanesa

These come with a wireless charging case that provides up to 45 hours of playtime when you're on the go — it'll fully recharge the earbuds in less than two hours.
Promising review: "I bought these for the price and as a trial run on whether or not I could keep up with small wireless earbuds. I’ve had these for 6+ months now and they are pretty awesome for $25. Comes with a lot of different ear bud sizes, cancels noise well, the sounds is actually decent/better than I expected and I’ve accidentally thrown these into the washer and dryer and they still work the same. I was gifted AirPods and honestly find myself reaching for the Tozo buds more often because they’re so much more comfortable in my ears. Definitely will buy another pair if these die on me." —Liubhard

22. A reversible shag throw blanket — now they'll have something cozy to snuggle up in while working from home.
Promising review: "I bought the grey fur blanket and, HOLY SMOKES, this is the most comfortable blanket I think I’ve ever bought. It was meant to be decor and not really used, but I can’t keep it off of me, it’s so soft. I was very surprised by how good of quality it seems, especially for the price. Big enough to cover two people up easily. I’d compare the feeling of the faux fur to something like bunny’s fur. It has some decent weight to it and I’ve found it to be very warm so far. All in all, good for the money." —Kaylee Morris

23. And a wearable blanket for anyone who wants to take the whole "never coming out from under my blankie" thing to a whole new level. It even has sleeves so they can work on their devices without exposing their arms to the cold, unforgiving air!
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Kayla Boyd loves this thing: "It allows you to literally wrap yourself in a blanket, but still be able to use your hands, without your poor arm suffering in the cold breeze. I wear this while working from home, watching Netflix, and while taking naps. It's so comfy that there have been times I don't want to take it off when I have to run to the store — the only reason I do is because I don't want it to get dirty. I can't imagine one person who wouldn't be happy to receive this wonderful bundle of coziness."

24. *And* a pair of plush slipper socks to warm their chilly paws when the floor feels like ice in their workspace.
Promising review: "I absolutely love these fuzzy socks. They are super soft and warm; plus, they are very well-made. My socks have been through several washes now, and they aren’t stretching or coming apart at all. The other great thing about these socks is that they are super comfy on your feet, and they don’t rub at the seam on the toes like other fuzzy socks. I will definitely be buying more!" —Marcie

BTW — Poppy & Pour is a California-based small business that has been creating custom flower coasters, keychains, and more since 2020.
Promising review: "Absolutely gorgeous! It's hard to get a good photo of resin without reflections or light so trust me when I say this is even more beautiful in person! Seller gave me exactly what I requested and I couldn't be happier with this purchase. Highly highly recommended!" —nlivnil

27. An DeskCycle so they can squeeze a workout in despite being stuck working all day long.
Promising review: "Pleasantly surprised with this DeskCycle! I wasn't sure how well an under-the-desk cycling device could work, but I get back and hip issues when I sit still for too long, and I don't always exercise daily the way I'd like to. I've been using it for a couple of weeks, and I am really happy with it. It's very quiet, and it cycles very smoothly. Even using the cycle at the lowest of eight resistance settings for a total of about an hour a day, I am noticing my legs getting stronger. I am definitely less stiff after a day in front of my computer than when I sat still. I would recommend this product to anyone with a computer job who needs a little more movement in their lives." —Tamara

Promising review: "I love this thing way more than I thought I would! I've always hated how little surface area mousepads had, but I had no idea desk pads existed until I was randomly browsing through Amazon. I purchased the pink one, and it is the perfect addition to my white/pink home office! It works perfectly as a mouse pad, but I love that I now have a place to put hot/cold drinks without damaging the desk. I purchased the smallest size, which is absolutely large enough for the corner of my desk where I work. It came rolled up in a tube, but it unrolled flat, no curled edges whatsoever! Would definitely recommend!!!" —Rigashi

Promising review: "I was just looking for something to reduce the pile of rubble on my desk to something less inclined to slide off it, but this has so much more room to it than you'd think. The sliding drawer holds a lot including colored markers in one drawer, and all the odd-sized stuff, such as cellphone repair tools, extra cases, batteries, etc., and I haven't even put anything in the third drawer yet. This took a large unruly pile and reduced it to a neat, accessible bunch of stuff — amazing. I can't believe how much it holds. The pile before was huge, and this makes it all look like nothing." —P.

Some reviewers even use this to store and display beans!
Promising review: "I bought this mug for my dad who just started at an office job. He absolutely loves it! He enjoys making dad jokes about drinking a whole pot of coffee in the morning. The silicone lid is great to keep it warm and makes it easy to drink out of. It's made of thin glass, so its not as sturdy as a mug and it gets hotter, but it's great quality and made well." —tess

This wall art set comes with a hanging kit, but reviewers say the included frames are light enough to hang with Command Strips! 👏🏾
Sign Win is a New Jersey-based small business that provides tons of beautiful posters and art prints, making decorating your home easy as heck.
Promising reviews: "It is exactly as pictured! It's really helped to tie our living room together. We went with the recommendation of keeping the installations 1.5 inches away from each other and they line up well. Even just the middle sun part looks cool, but the extensions of the sun rays truly make it a statement." —chelsea0421
"Great experience with this seller. Art was packed well and came with all the hardware to install easily. The art itself is gorgeous! It is exactly as pictured (though it’s much more impressive in person). I would and will shop with this seller again. I am so happy with the way it turned out!" —hoviousa

Plus, now your kids and/or pets won't decide those cords are their new favorite dangerous toys.
Promising review: "I'm so happy with this organizer box. I can't stand a heap of tangled cords going every which way. I've got two AC adapter boxes in there. Also in the box is a small power supply, the cord for the iMac I use, and a long USB cord plugged into my charging station. It's awesome." —Ben W

39. Or an adhesive monitor clip designed to hold up to 30 sheets of paper, which will also help them free up some desk space that otherwise tends to resemble a landfill.
They can simply mount it on the back of their screen with a 3M adhesive strip.
Promising review: "I love this product. I always buy one when I move into a new office. It’s basic, but it works. Clip adheres very well to my computer monitor when both services are clean and dry. Use some rubbing alcohol to clean both services before trying to adhere it. I like this document clip because it helps me be more productive. I also use it to hold papers that need my immediate attention if I am not doing data entry. In summary, I’ve purchased this product many times for a reason. It does the job with no frills and it’s a great value!" —Cassidy

42. A memory foam seat cushion and lumbar pillow — it'll make their at-home desk chair more of a friend than a foe to their back. Plus, it can even help them improve their posture!
The covers are removable and washable.
Promising review: "The cushion has been so nice for jobs where I have to sit down for long periods, or for anyone who sits for long periods. It certainly takes some of the low-back pressure away! My partner tried it and ended up...using it for a week or so. Hahaha, so I just bought another, with the lumbar cushion for the office chairs, too. Chairs at the office have little support for anyone with a back injury, sciatica, or anyone who's been working in an office/call center environment so long that lower back muscles have degraded, causing pain. These have helped a lot!" —L D

Promising review: "These moons charge up fast with a cord (with a cool 'blue moon' color when charging) and then once charged, they are completely free from cords or any connection dependence. They light up with a very detailed real moon surface design in white or yellow, and it will totally mesmerize you. You can literally 'hold the whole moon in your hand' and use it as a cordless and battery-free lamp, a nightlight, a lantern, or a quasi-candle in the dark. The wood stand is sleek and super easy to assemble and is a perfect accent to any room décor. These moons are the best gift for friends, family, co-workers, kids, pets, and spouses." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "If you are wanting to drown out noise in any environment, this is your solution. I'm sensitive to noise and highly misplaced working in a noisy office. This device has numerous combinations between sound types and volume. I was able to find the perfect mix to drown out the loud people in my office.

Promising review: "This thing is awesome. My husband and I hide this around the house from each other and sometimes it takes months to find. How awesome is it to be able to yell out 'yes! I found the potato!' and have that make total sense?! Doesn't matter if we're having a little argument or not, we still get excited about it. Not the common use for a stress reliever, but we have fun playing our silly little game. 😊 Certainly keeps things entertaining." —TM

48. A sturdy laptop riser to bring their comp to a more comfortable height so they can stop destroying their posture and dealing with back pain after long days in front of the screen.
Promising review: "I was looking for a simple and affordable stand for my work laptop. My goal were to: 1) raise the built-in camera to eye-level, 2) raise the screen to a more comfortable viewing position, and 3) lift the laptop off my desktop to create usable space underneath for other items. All three objectives were met. Its design is simple, functional, solid, and elegant. The pads on the arms keep my computer from slipping or sliding. I especially like that it is open underneath to allow the CPU fan on my laptop to work effortlessly. If any of this resonates with you, buy this stand." —dallen rolandsson

49. A microwave pasta maker with a built-in strainer that'll let them make perfect al dente pasta in the microwave if their busy work schedule doesn't leave them much time for cooking.

It even has handy serving size holes on top so you can ensure that you're putting the right amount of noodles inside!
Promising review: "This little thing is great. I wish I'd bought it sooner. It's a very simple container with draining and measuring holes (for long pasta) in the lid. The container itself isn't anything special. Honestly, the part that makes it REALLY worth buying is the little instruction card. It accurately shows you how long to cook many different kinds of pasta, how much water to add, etc. It takes out all the guesswork, which saves SO much time. Every kind of pasta I've tried so far has come out perfectly al dente by strictly following the instructions." —T. B. H.

53. A portable dual monitor for their laptop because, let's face it, giving up their big, splashy desktop monitor at the office in favor of a smaller WFH setup was fine for a while, but now it's time for an upgrade. Plus, it's easy to transport from room to room!
This is compatible with Mac, PC, and Chrome laptops between 13–17 inches, and attaches with device-safe metal plates.

You can even rotate the display to your preferences, if you want it at an angle!
Promising review: "I’ve been using the SideTrak for a week now and it has been an absolute game changer for me. The instructions were easy to follow, and installation a breeze. The SideTrak was first whipped into action during a two-hour-long ride in my car as a passenger, and I was utterly impressed with how much I got done with ease, in that amount of time! Additionally, I’ve gotten a lot more use out of the SideTrak than I imagined — such as when I’m lounging in my backyard, kitchen, living room, pool...anywhere outside of the room in my office, the possibilities are endless! I’m all about efficiency and maximizing my time and the SideTrak has contributed largely in those areas." —Ratana K.
