1. A pair of webcam covers so now you can be sure no one's watching you eat Froot Loops in your pajamas during your All Hands meeting. You deserve to feel safe and comfy while you work.
Promising reviews: "I use this for my work computer in case Zoom defaults to camera on by accident. When the camera cover is on, the video screen is completely black." —Elanah
"What a simple, useful product! It was easy to put on my computer and I feel much more secure knowing someone can't access my video without my knowing." —quilterldy
Get them from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in five color combinations).
2. An adjustable wooden desk organizer to keep work-related books nearby as you power through your 9–5. But maybe keep a few non work–related books there too for when your brain needs a break.
3. A pair of incredibly soft Loop noise-reduction earplugs if the sounds coming from outside are a little too distracting/annoying. These flexible silicone earplugs will help you concentrate on the task at hand.
Promising review: "I struggle with anxiety and ADHD and I find myself frequently sensitive to sounds. Things were especially difficult with the kids home working on school while I was trying to work from home. Not only have these been fabulous throughout the day but holy cow are they a lifesaver at night! My husband snores, and I have tried multiple pairs of ear plugs, sleep masks with little speakers in them…list goes on. These loops are extremely comfortable to sleep in. They cut the sounds of the snores down to manageable and sleep-able level without cutting off all sound. If one of our children comes in the room, phone rings, etc. I can still hear and remain safe. They are not noise cancelling, they are noise reducing. They are so reasonably priced that I have a pair next to my bed, on my desk, and in my cars. Highly highly recommend!!!" —Christina
Get it from Amazon for $24.95 (available in eight colors).
4. A pack of six self-adhesive cable clips to help keep your work space organized since all of your devices' charger cords are currently tangled in an impossible knot.

Get a pack of six from Amazon for $6.97.

7. A memory foam under-desk footrest for super soft 'n' cushy relief in the middle of your busy work day. It's adjustable and convertible, so you can fully customize it to meet your specific comfort needs.
Promising review: "Freaking love this thing! I have to sit for like 8–10 hours a day right now in the early years of med school and it’s been a game changer for my back! I mostly use it upside down so I can rock my feet back and forth but I like the soft side, too, when I’m trying to sit still. Highly recommend if you have a sore tailbone at the end of a long work/study day." —Bails

13. An insulated soundproofing strip you can put along your door to help create a silent workspace.
14. A pack of six squishy Crayola fidget balls for stacking, sticking, or slinging when you're feeling a lil' stressed while working from home! The best part is the balls won't leave behind any residue. Whether they're being used as stress balls or as a temporary wall ornament, these fidget balls are a ton of fun!
And when the balls lose their stickiness, just clean them up with soap and water for them to feel like new again!
Promising review: "Bought as a gift for a teen who loves to fidget with objects and has anxiety. She was excited and immediately began playing with them. We all did! Great fun for any kid or adult.

Get it from Amazon for $37.99 (available in women's sizes S–XXL and in 20 colors/prints).
20. A pair of noise-cancelling wireless Bluetooth earbuds with special touch functions: tap once to play or pause; double-tap to skip forward or backward. And of course it comes with a charging case!
21. Calming bites made with ashwaganda and L-theanine for anxious pets because Spot's zoomies are ruining your Zoom meetings.

Promising review: "The calendar is incredibly handy for keeping track of projects at work. There's plenty of room for writing down daily tasks — I've been known to cram in several tasks in a day's column for particularly busy weeks. The spot for the pen is really handy, too. And I love the positive affirmations for each day! The whole thing is a great vibe for the week. Quality wise this product is excellent. The paper is sturdy, and each week tears off easily from the side. It arrived plastic-wrapped and in good condition." —Book Lover

Promising review: "This lightweight arm holds at least 20 pages without falling out. I use this to prioritize things I need to get done and it keeps me from losing paper in piles. I have neck issues because I am constantly looking down and this keeps my head up and makes data entry easier because it's right next to the screen. It also pivots so I can adjust the angle." —Life Is Short
Get it from Amazon for $8.15.
40. A pair of sliding under-desk drawers if you need some extra storage space. They are especially ideal if your WFH space is less of a "desk" and more of a "table where you put your laptop."
Promising review: "This product works exactly as I'd hoped and is now neatly under my desk without taking up so much room that I bump it or knock it off when I sit down. Adhesive stuck on easily and feels very sturdy. Remember to be realistic in terms of the weight of objects you put in these drawers (i.e. don't fill it with heavy items and then get upset when the adhesive wears down quickly). Pens, paperclips, Post-its, earbuds, and scissors all fit in mine and I will definitely buy these again for our other desks." —Shopping Mama
Get a set of two from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in six styles).
