    These finds are the ~secret sauce~ for a much better work space.

    1. A gorgeous wooden monitor riser to get all your work needs met in one rustic, aesthetically appealing place. The monitor riser boasts a built-in drawer to stash your favorite color-coding pens, different sized Post-Its, and emergency protein bars!

    2. A gel-enhanced seat cushion because only super comfy seating can soften the blow of an unexpected 8 a.m. Zoom meeting. (You've got this!) The gel-infused memory foam provides ergonomic support and reduces pressure on your tailbone while making your office chair infinitely more comfortable. The built-in carrying straps and lightweight material makes transporting this cushion a breeze.

    3. A floating cable organizer so you can streamline your WFH setup and keep your monitor cables, computer chargers, and adapter wires out of sight. This is a perfect addition for standing desks since the design saves space and moves with adjustable desktops! The nifty gadget attaches right under your desk, blocking the tangle of cables from view.

    4. A pair of blue-light-blocking glasses made to protect your gorgeous peepers after a long day of sitting in front of the computer. The lightweight lenses filter out blue light to prevent eyestrain and help reduce headaches. On-trend clear frames provide styling versatility for all your work outfits, whether you're donning your heather gray college sweatshirt or an ivory silk blouse.

    5. A mechanical Bluetooth keyboard with emoji keys for giving some lightning fast reactions on Slack. The added weight of the keys evokes the click-clack of an old-school typewriter, adding a lively, nostalgic feel to your work space. Amazing accompaniment for anyone that uses a tablet as a note-taking tool, too!

    6. A portable ceramic space heater that'll live under your desk and keep your feet extra toasty after trudging through slush to get to work. I've had this space heater for years and it still works like a dream.

    7. A magical desk lamp with special technology made to vanquish flu season while it shines a light on your brilliant work. (Sparkles not included.) Just turn on the lamp and let the SpectraClean light disinfect your desktop and sanitize your electronics, killing harmful bacteria on your handheld devices with minimal effort. Includes a special low-glare illumination which mimics natural daylight and helps reduce eyestrain up to 51%, so you can conserve your eyes for out-of-office activities.

    8. A gel keyboard wrist pad ideal for computer jockeys wrangling spreadsheets into the late hours of the night. The stain-resistant and water-resistant pad displaces pressure points on your wrists while the gel filling provides cushioned support for marathon sessions on your laptop.

    9. A sliding camera cover to make sure you don't accidentally leave your camera on during a Zoom meeting. This helpful accessory works on your phone, tablet, and webcams to conceal you from nosy onlookers, while the ultra sleek design ensures minimal interference when closing and opening. Simply slide your finger to the right and voilà! *Privacy please*

    10. An herbal pain reliever stick to provide some relief for your lower back from sitting all day. Menthol activation blends with soothing lavender to provide a deeply aromatic cooling sensation that alleviates throbbing arches, shoulder stiffness, and pinched nerves from staring at a screen. Apply anywhere in need of a little of TLC and feel the magic happen.

    11. A reversible anti-slip desk mat with a carrying strap that's perfect for digital nomads who want to take their work station wherever they travel. The extra large size accommodates a keyboard and grants some additional surface area for your mouse to roam freely (just like you).

    12. A customizable humidifier for keeping your complexion looking dewy and fresh throughout the day. It features a special app that allows you to schedule timers, adjust light colors and brightness, and set your target humidity — all from your phone. Reviewers love the auto function, which monitors the room's humidity levels and automatically adjusts to maintain your preferences throughout the day. The sleek design has an upscale professional appeal that you'll actually want in-frame for your video conferences.

    13. An innovative electronic notebook ideal for transferring your hand-written notes to the digital sphere while helping Mother Earth. Jot down your field notes on the special paper which converts them to PDF, upload your findings, and presto! Your genius insights are now on the cloud, never to be accidentally tossed out or spilled on again. It makes an exceptional work space companion for students, busy professionals, and lifelong learners (like moi).

    14. A laptop cleaning spray that'll leave your monitor sparkling clean and your digital devices free of messy fingerprint smudges. A convenient travel size lets you toss it in your purse so you can wipe away grime, foundation residue, or spills on the go. Spray on your laptop monitor, tablet, desktop, and smartphone, and shine bright like a diamond. (We are ready for this album drop, Riri!)

    15. A glass dry-erase desktop computer pad to keep a visual inventory of important dates in plain sight — whether it's your upcoming deadline for that collab with the marketing team or your company's can't-miss holiday party. Slide the glass topper to reveal a handy accessories drawer for storing your multicolored dry-erase markers. Keep track of interoffice memos, key meetings, and team-building volunteering events, all in one place and simply wipe the glass for effortless cleanup.

    17. An insulated mug for keeping you caffeinated at any time and at any temperature — and for way less $$ than some of its competitors. A thick double-layered construction foils condensation and the threat of a lukewarm beverage, while a handle allows you to freely tote your favorite oversized mug from one coworker's desk to the next.

    19. A color-changing oil diffuser ideal for elevating your desktop with a calming elegant decor option that also smells heavenly. Diffuse your favorite eucalyptus or peppermint oil after a long day of interviews, or inhale the soft fragrance of white gardenia and night blooming jasmine to help soothe you during a particularly hectic work week.

    20. A balance disc to correct your WFH posture while you mentor your associate on the art of public speaking in yoga pants. The design forces you to engage your core muscles, reducing discomfort and facilitating spinal alignment. You can also use the disc on the floor to engage in a more active midday workout break and return to your brainstorming session flushed with new ideas.
