Working from home is the new reality for a lot of people. This year, consider gifting things they could use in their home office! Trust me, there are things you don’t know you need, until you try to work from home. And, there are also things that maybe aren’t necessary, but would definitely be nice to have to make working from home more comfortable. Check out my list of curated ideas for work from home gifts.

Standing Desk Converter
This is a great gift idea for at home workers. I’ve learned over the last ten months or so, that working from home is different from working in an office. I don’t have my fancy ergonomic desk chair or the mini breaks to walk downstairs to refill my water bottle. So, my back ends up hurting at the end of the day from hunching over. A stand up desk can help give your legs the much needed stretch they need throughout the day. Then, when you’re over it, you can sit back down and move the desk down with you.

Bliss Collections Daily Planner
I love this daily planner. It feels a little more doable than a full spiral bound planner. It’s a pad with 50 sheets that are easy to use and can help you get organized without overwhelming you. It’s a light cardstock paper and the size of a normal sheet of paper. It has a space for appointments, helps you plan your most important priorities and even gives you a space to doodle. Because we know you are during those Zoom meetings anyway!

Comfilife Gel Infused Seat Cushion
This gel cushion has over 30,000 great reviews! So, people’s butts must be feeling really good on this cushion. It’s not only gel, but a memory foam so your butt can form into it and the support will be in all the right places. It helps with back pain, sciatica, tailbone injuries and more. The cover is even machine washable so you can keep it nice and tidy.

Dual Sided Desk Pad
This desk pad is very versatile. It comes in a bunch of different color combinations (because it is dual sided) and a few different sizes as well. It’s made of a synthetic leather and acts as a great buffer between your computer products and your desk or table. It also won’t slide around when you’re using it.

Emfogo Cork Board
These hanging cork boards are great for putting right above the desk so you can add notes throughout the day. Just add paper and push pins! The cork is self healing, to help your board last a super long time. The frame also makes it look finished so it fits in with your home décor.

Everlasting Comfort Foot Rest & The Foot Hammock
Here, I have two foot rest options for you. One is more standard and the other is kitschy and fun. The first is a comfort foot rest, which is exactly what it sounds like. The foot rest provides comfort and blood flow. The hammock hangs across your desk and provides a load off your feet as well. It also has a handy hook for your purse or whatever else you need to keep close and off the floor. Look no further for some work from home gifts.

Huntkey 4 Outlet Surge Protector
Thought this may not be the flashiest gift item, it is definitely one of the more practical and helpful for working at home. We all have multiple devices to plug in a wall – monitor, computer, laptop, lamp, phone charger, etc. This outlet has a plug for the wall, but the other end will give you multiple plug outlets and usbs. And it’s a surge protector, so you’ll no longer be prone to surges (another Office reference there).

Blue Light Blocking Glasses
This is definitely something you don’t know you need, until you spend 8 hours on a computer. This is a two pack of glasses that will block the blue light from your computer. This blue light disrupts your sleep cycle, hurts your eyes and can even give you headaches. So this is a health and wellness gift, really. Perfect for the work from home person.

Acrylic Transparent Monitor Tray
When I saw this acrylic monitor add on, I thought it was random, unique and super cool. It acts as a good place to put your sticky notes, hold your phone and provide a space for reminders. That way you don’t take up your whole monitor or desk with notes. And you’ll know where your phone is at all times.

Mouse Pad Anti-Slip
The mouse pad is quintessential. Most people have them, but this one is cute. On top of that it is anti-slip, so that helps keep everything in order on your desk. There are plenty of cute designs to choose from and sometimes, you just need something to jazz up your desk a little. It’s the perfect work from home gifts list idea.

Rose Gold Desk Accessories
These desk accessories are modern and fun. You can finally organize everything from papers to pencils with this set. This five piece set will give you all the organization you need for your desk top so you can be your most productive self. It also comes in different finishes other than rose gold, if that’s not your jam.

Wrap Up
Whew! Well those items should get your friend or family member through the work from home time, even if it becomes permanent. The idea is to make it an easier and more comfortable transition. These products can help with that! So, grab some work from home gifts and let’s get to work! If you need some extra gifting inspo, check out the links below or EventOTB’s Pinterest.
