2. This dual-ended cleaning device that'll keep your laptop spotless (especially if you're a serial snacker). The brush will get rid of crumbs and dust in the keyboard, while the microfibre pad will keep your screen smudge-free.
Get it from Amazon Canada for $21.64. Also available as a three-piece set.
3. Or this handy little cleaning pen to really get into those hard-to-reach places in between your keyboard keys.
4. A ring light that'll help your coworkers actually see you in meetings. The brightness and hue are adjustable, so you can find the best combination to perfectly highlight your face.

7. This terabyte external drive that'll fit all of your files, so you never get that frustrating "storage full" message again. You can also use it to back up the entire contents of your computer—just in case.

11. This laptop stand that'll help you straighten up your posture, if you're slouching over at your desk all day. It'll also stop your device from overheating by giving it some space to air out.
12. A giant mousepad that'll keep everything on your desk from slipping and sliding, and protect it from scratches at the same time. It's double sided, so you can get a little colour if you need a change of scenery.
13. A 7-in-1 adapter if your computer is completely devoid of ports you need. You won't need to set up any software for it—just plug it in and watch your devices connect.
14. A drawing tablet that'll help you get your point across through a diagram or drawing. It comes with a smart pen that easily toggles to an eraser, so you can spend more time sketching and less time fiddling around.
16. An ergonomic mouse that'll take the strain off your wrists if you're on the brink of getting carpal tunnel. It also has six buttons, so you'll be a lean, mean productivity machine.
Get it from Amazon Canada for $19.99. Also available in a wireless version.
17. A Bluetooth keyboard to turn your tablet into a laptop or if you just want an extra set of keys. Reviewers say the built-in mouse also allows them to effortlessly browse their smart TVs.
18. A power strip that'll fit all of your cables, so they no longer have to compete for charging real estate.
19. And these cord clips that'll organize that mess of cables that have accumulated behind your desk or taken over your floor.
The cord situation in my home office was driving me bonkers — between accidentally pulling down my entire monitor and cords getting caught in the wheels of my chair, it was becoming a borderline safety hazard. These little guys have made it so much easier to not only locate which cable I'm looking for, but also keep them off the dang floor. The sticky backing is pretty strong, which makes for an easy application. You get ten varying sizes in a pack, so I put one of these bad boys in every room in my house. Out of sight, out of mind.
Get a pack of ten from Amazon Canada for $10.95+. Also available in yellow.
20. And lastly, a pair of wireless headphones that'll keep you focused by blocking all outside sounds. Reviewers say the built-in mic and battery life gets them through a work day full of meetings.
