1. A silicone keyboard cover that'll protect your computer from accidental spills, crumbs, and dust. Now you can eat and drink near your laptop without fear of getting it dirty or damaged. It's easy to remove, so you can give it a quick wipe before reinstalling.
2. A pair of blue light-blocking glasses that are great for anyone who spends most of day staring at a computer. The lenses filter out blue light, which helps reduce eye strain and irritation.
3. A portable external hard drive that may be small, but is mighty when it comes to storage space. You can backup your notes, essays, and readings, keep extra copies of all your important files, and free up space on your laptop or computer.
4. A power bar that has a combination of cord and USB outlets, so you can plug in all your devices with ease. It also has a six-foot-long cord that can reach all the places a wall socket can't.
5. A soothing sound machine that'll block out the disruptive noises around you with 20 different tracks of white noise. You can use it during the day while you study instead of listening to music.
6. An ergonomic monitor riser that'll elevate your computer or laptop to a more comfortable height. It's wide enough to support most monitors and holds up to 40 pounds. The perforated holes on top will allow for proper ventilation, and it has a little nook underneath to store small office items.
7. A pack of animal squishies that are so cute, you won't be able to stop yourself from giving them a big squeeze. They're a fun way to release stress from your hands, especially when taking a break from typing.
8. Or a little metal ball that'll create an optical illusion when you spin it. It'll make a great desk accessory and it's the perfect fidget toy that'll keep your hands busy while you're studying.
9. An office desk that's equal parts stylish and functional. It'll give you enough space to work, without taking up a lot of space. And it has two deep shelves to store your office supplies, so you have more room on your desktop.
10. An office chair with an extra-padded seat that'll make working at your desk for long hours much more comfortable. It has a curved back that'll support you throughout the day, and is small enough that you can tuck it underneath your desk to save space.
11. Or a ball chair that'll be a fun and fit alternative to an office chair. It's super comfy, and it'll keep you active, even if you spend all day at the computer. It's tall enough to fit most desks, but if you need a little leverage, you can get a set of leg extenders.
12. A pack of super-thin camera covers for anyone who takes their online privacy and security extra seriously. The covers are compatible with most devices and are a more subtle and stylish alternative to the piece of tape you're currently using.
13. A pair of over-ear headphones that'll tune out the noise, so you can concentrate on studying without being disturbed. They have a sleek design, high-quality sound, and flexible band that'll conform to the shape of your head. They also have a built-in microphone for Zoom meetings and hands-free phone calls.
14. A laptop stand that'll make studying in bed a lot easier. It has grooves at the top (that’ll hold your tablet and drink) and foldable legs (so you can store it when you’re finished).And when you're not using it to study, you can use it as a breakfast tray.
15. An adjustable stand that'll hold your phone at the perfect angle while you sit at your desk. The stand can hold your device whether it’s sitting vertically or horizontally, and it’s tall enough to accommodate a charger.
16. A desk lamp that'll provide enough light, so you can work late into the night. You can adjust the angle of the light and turn the base to create the perfect lighting, and it has four preset brightness levels for studying, relaxing, reading, and sleeping. Plus, it has a USB port on the side to charge your any of your devices.
17. A ball of slime that'll remove dust from your keyboard and other electronic devices. The cleaning putty is an eco-friendly alternative to dust wipes because it's reusable and biodegradable!
18. Or a double-ended cleaning brush that'll keep your keyboard AND screen in tip-top shape. One side has a microfibre pad to remove fingerprints and smudges from your screen, while the other side has a soft rectractable brush that'll keep your keys free of dust and food.
19. A corgi mouse pad that is just too cheeky for words. It'll add a little personality to your workspace, and it has a cushioned wrist rest that'll make using your mouse much more comfortable.
20. A pack of high-capacity USB flash drives that are as colourful as they are useful. They'll make it easier to store and transfer important digital files. Plus, they come in an array of bright shades, making it virtually impossible to lose them or confuse them with another flash drive.
21. A Cableyoyo that'll organize your headphones and charging cords into a neat and tidy roll. It'll save you the stress of trying to detangle your cables, and makes it easier to manage your cables while you're using them, too!
22. A seat cushion that'll make your chair feel like an extra-plushy throne. The memory foam will conform to your shape and help support your tailbone and lower back. Reviewers say they're much more comfortable sitting in the office chair with the cushion.
23. A double-sided finger massager that'll help loosen and soothe the muscles in your hands. One side has two rollers that'll surround and massage each finger, while the other side has one deep-kneading roller that'll help relieve tension in specific areas on your hands. If you spend most of your day typing or have arthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome, this little device could help melt away your pains.
24. A clipboard stand that'll keep your papers upright, so it's easier to read documents at your desk. It can hold up to 150 papers at a time, making a great item for anyone who spends a lot of time to referencing or transferring written documents onto the computer.
25. A set of floppy disk coasters that’ll protect your desk from spills, scratches, and ring marks. They'll add a touch of retro coolness to your office decor, and they're made of silicone, so they're super easy to clean.
26. A tumbler that'll encourage you to drink water, if you're someone who tends to forget. The coloured bands act as small markers you can slide up once you've passed them. It's a cool way to motivate and track how much water you've had, so you drink enough water every day.
27. A printer that'll take care of all your needs, including printing, scanning, and faxing documents. It'll connect to your wifi and you can print straight from your phone or tablet using the HP Smart app. It also has double-sided printing, which reviewers like to reduce the amount of paper they use.
28. And finally, a colourful agenda that'll help you plan for the year ahead. You'll have enough space to write out your schedule for the day, mark down important deadlines, and jot down tasks on a to-do list.
