Saem Iceland Hydrating Eye Stick — it'll reduce the under-eye circles and puffiness you're prone to having if "Sleepy" is your middle name, but you're simply not catching enough Zzzs these days. A big shout out to the glacial waters it's formulated with, amiright? Skin1004 Zombie Pack Face Masks that'll make you temporarily look like a zombie while you impatiently wait for season two of The Last of Us (and the return of Pedro Pascal to our screens). This entertaining mask will tighten your pores and minimize the appearance of wrinkles while providing you with the opportunity to take some *very* silly selfies. Bio-Oil, which reviewers swear helps to diminish scars and stretch marks so well it should probably be called "bye-bye oil." It *also* does a fabulous job moisturizing sensitive skin. It's filled with rosemary, lavender, chamomile, vitamin A, vitamin E, and PurCellin oil to help keep your skin feeling (and looking!) great. CeraVe Eye Repair Cream that'll become your most cherished beauty product — it'll help you out whether your under-eye bags are courtesy of your nocturnal infant or you drank a cup of coffee too late in the day when you couldn't stop yawning during your afternoon meeting. CND SolarOil — a must-have for anyone who is tired of cracked, brittle nails and wants to try and fix 'em once and for all. You and your manicurist will be hugging and jumping for joy once you see the end results. Elizavecca Collagen Protein Treatment only asks for a mere five minutes of your time and transforms hair from drab to fab — yes, seriously, only 300 seconds will do the trick! Venus Visage Teeth Whitening Pens — apply it directly to your teeth, let it sit a minute or two, hum "My Shiny Teeth and Me" from The Fairly OddParents, and enjoy your fresh-looking pearly whites. A blackhead scrub stick that'll exfoliate your clogged pores and remove excess sebum while also being a bit reminiscent of the adorable lil' character from Finding Nemo that said "you made me iiiink!" Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream, which is honestly worth every single penny you'll spend on it. It's very lightly scented, unbelievably hydrating, soothing, and sinks into skin right away. Not to mention, the packaging is absolutely gorgeous. An exfoliating foot peel mask that'll make you feel like a snake shedding your skin (is this a hidden Easter egg that Taylor Swift's dropping the re-recording of Reputation soon? 🤡) — it'll be grossly satisfying to watch the progress and the results will be mindblowing! Cosrx Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence that might actually be the nectar of the skincare gods — it soothes damaged skin, repairs dark spots, absorbs quickly, and will leave your face feeling delightfully moisturized. Rhode Pineapple Refresh Daily Cleanser featuring a refreshing green tea extract and pineapple enzyme (soft, clean, skin coming right up!). Your face is going to feel like a fresh summer morning even when the weather outdoors says otherwise. Supergoop Glowscreen — it actually protects skin (hellooooo SPF 40👋) while making it shimmer just like Edward freakin' Cullen in the sunlight. Olaplex Hair Perfector No 3 Repairing Treatment, designed to help strengthen all hair types (it treats each strand on a molecular level!) and restore your locks back to a beautiful, shiny, Disney Princess–like state. A moisturizing saline gel that'll help everyone and anyone fight the good fight against their biggest springtime allergies nemesis — a drippy, chapped nose. A reusable HiccAway straw for anyone who is sick and tired of using old-school methods (holding your breath, being scared half to death, etc.) to get rid of pesky hiccups — place it in a shallow glass of water, sip a few times, and say farewell to annoying hiccups!

A practical folding treadmill you can place right under your desk to get your steps in while tuning into yet another meeting that could've been an email — no more letting Martha from finance rob you of your precious time! Get ready to crush your work *and* fitness goals all at once. A fruit-infuser water bottle for anyone who simply can't bring themselves to drink enough water because, honestly, it's a little boring. This one will allow you to give it a much-needed boost of flavor. It'll taste like you're relaxing at the spa even if you're stuck in rush hour traffic or perusing the aisles of Target. A portable pack of soap sheets, because entering a public bathroom is grime-y enough without having to worry, "will there be soap left in the dispenser???" These will melt away in your hands and ensure they'll be squeaky clean. And a trio of Touchland spray hand sanitizersthat'll make banishing germs seem trendy! Everyone's gonna want a spritz once they see you pulling this handy-dandy sanitizer out of your bag.

A HappyLight sunlamp designed to (artificially) produce the benefits of sunlight — like a better mood and regulated circadian rhythm — even if you're basically inside 24/7. Amazon Promising review:"I work from home at night. I never see the light of day during the winter. This light has been a joy to have and gives great light at my desk to work with with the benefit of mimicking sun exposure. It's very easy to use and to replace bulbs." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (clip the $10 off coupon on the product page for this price). 2.

Throwback to the good old days when there was no such thing as having to check your email. *sighs nostalgically* Amazon Promising review:"These coasters are really cool in my book. They are fun to play with and the colors are fun as well. Definitely a cool gift for office folks and IT geeks." — Terry H Get a set of six from Amazon for $9.99. 3. A pack of NeuroGum to give you a mega energy boost fast — and without the subsequent caffeine crash later. It's made with a blend of caffeine and nootropics that gives you energy five times faster than regular coffee, only no jitters or sluggishness. Promising review:"I was hitting the afternoon slump and had a project to tackle that involved lots of details. I dug out my NeuroGum for a test run and WOW. The clarity and focus I had was awesome! I knocked out the project in record time and was able to move on to the next! The flavor is great and there's no energy crash or slump!" — Acacia Get a six-pack with nine pieces of gum each from Amazon for $24.99. You can read former BuzzFeeder Kayla Suazo's full review of NeuroGum for more deets! 4.

Reviewers say the sound quality is equally as impressive and the fit is super comfy, making them ideal for long work days. Amazon These come with a wireless charging case that provides up to 14 hours of charge (with the earbuds able to play for four-plus hours with each full charge). Promising review:"I work remotely and use these for all-day Zoom calls. I love the quality, comfortable fit, sound, and noise cancelling features. I will say the noise cancelling isn't 100% proof, but I'm not looking for that. I want to be able to hear around me in case someone in my house needs me." — Ali R. Get it from Amazon $24.99+ (available in five colors). 5. Plus a pair of Bluetooth-enabled noise-cancelling over-the-ear headphones because you want zero distractions while working. These will effectively block out all extraneous noise *and* send the message to your co-workers that you are not to be bothered right just don't get the hint when you're wearing earbuds. Promising review:"I recently found the need for over the ear noise-cancelling Bluetooth headphones three days a week, four hours at a time. I needed them to be comfortable, possess strong noise cancelling capabilities, sound good and be of good quality without an exaggerated price. They sound great, are very comfortable for extended periods, pair easily with Apple products and the noise-cancelling capabilities are very good. The economical price makes these a tremendous value. I highly recommend l these even compared to the many models costing twice as much." — M. de La Torre Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in four colors and two styles). 6. A mini inflatable tube guy ready to be your motivational coach and dancing cheerleader. Guarantee a few minutes of his silly swaying will boost your mood (and hopefully get you back on track with that work project). 7. An expanding file folder with tabs so you can ~aesthetically~ organize all your important paperwork, which will no doubt maximize your productivity during the workday. Plus, you'll feel like a boss for being on top of everything. Amazon, Promising review:"I bought this folder to keep our family documents organized and in one place. There are just the right amount of tabs for our birth certificates, passports, Social Security cards, car titles, will, etc. This folder is small enough that you can lock it in a home safe or safety deposit box. I let a couple of family members know where I keep this so that they can access it in case of an emergency. It is such a relief knowing that all these things are together and organized. I'm glad I bought this." — Katie Get it from Amazon for $5.22+ (clip the 5% off coupon on the product page to get this price; available in 11 colors). 8. A mini illuminated relaxation waterfall offering calm, soothing vibes, aka precisely what you need after a very stressful, very frustrating meeting with THAT boss or co-worker. Promising review:"Awesome addition to my workspace environment. I've tried several fountains so far. This one is awesome, the pump is quiet, as is the water, it simply provides a really nice environmental impact on my workspace. I run it up to eight hours in a day, use distilled water only and clean it periodically, and it's running just like new after several weeks. Not all of the fountains that I've tried work quite so well, I'm impressed and happy with this purchase." — Rod Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two styles). 9. A Bentgo stackable lunch container for anyone who's trying to save money by packing lunch for the office. This leakproof container has separate compartments for salad, fixings, and dressing or whatever kind of "Girl Dinner" charcuterie-esque lunch you put together. Amazon Promising review:"I absolutely love these salad containers. My fiancé and I have big appetites, but try to eat healthy. These containers fit a ton of salad greens and all sizes of toppings — nuts, beans, cheese, fruits, meats, pasta, etc. They make packing lunch easy. Just throw in some greens, a protein, a dressing, and toppings that make salad fun for you! We use ours several times per week and they make it to both our jobs without spilling or leaking. I walk and ride public transit, so mine gets tossed around a bit. Several of my friends and coworkers have bought them after seeing mine!" — izzo Get it from Amazon for $14.98+ (available in eight colors). 10. An adorably encouraging daily planner designed to help you stay on top of things, both in and out of the office. Use it to jot down your top priorities, write to-do lists, note appointment dates, meal plan, and even record workouts and other accomplishments. Who needs a personal assistant when this exists? Not you. Each planner comes with 50 tear-off sheets the size of a standard piece of paper. Bliss Collections is a family-owned, Wisconsin-based business established in 2012 that specializes in stationery, planners and pads, and drinkware. Promising review:"These daily planning sheets keep this mama on TRACK! I started out printing daily planning and schedule sheets from a free download on my computer. Then I realized why not just buy some already printed so I save my ink at home. I found these and love how the day, schedule, tasks, and health habits are organized. I've already reordered once and will continue to use these." — Shannon Hoglund Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in three sizes and various styles). 11. A quirky flexible flower vase that allows you to bend and twist its various limbs to create all kinds of funky-but-adorable designs. Even if nothing else gets you excited to go in to work, this little bud just might. Promising review: "An affable, squishy, bendy, happy little vase! The consensus on my social media page is that everyone should have one of these. I finally got a chance to try it out with some daffodils, and really, it's hard not to smile when you see them." — Susy Lundy Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in three colors). 12. An affordable sunrise alarm clock so you won't feel like you're waking up in the middle of the night . This awakens you gently with a gradually brightening warm light, just like the rising sun. This can be programmed with seven different light settings, seven different calming "wake up" noises, and to start gradually lighting up at 30, 20, or 10 minutes before you wake. Promising review:"I got this recommendation from TikTok and it really has helped especially with Oregon winters where the sun is not out by the time the alarm rings. It has several peaceful alarm settings and even has night music to put you to sleep. The sunrise with the alarm piano is what I play to wake me up every morning and it is a way better way than to wake up to an annoying phone alarm." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $49.98+ (available in three colors). 13. A six-outlet wall charger featuring six outlets *and* two USB fast-charging ports because you've got several devices and can't risk them dying at inopportune say, during your Teams meeting or an important phone call with a client. Promising review:"Need something simple so I could plug in all the electronics at my desk. This is much nicer than just a standard power strip since it doesn't add any more cords to the chaos. Plugs are angled enough that they don't get in the way of you have several things plugged in. For reference I usually have my laptop charger, monitor, Google Home mini, lamp, and phone charger plugged in at any given point in time. Night-light is a nice addition." — Samantha Get it from Amazon for $17.97+ (available in three colors and two styles). 14. A cold brew coffee maker to whip up cold, strong, and delicious coffee all on your own. Just stick your favorite ground coffee in the filter, screw on the lid, and let it ~brew~ overnight. Come morning, you'll have four cups of cold brew ready to enjoy at the office (just make sure you label it because folks might assume it's "for-the-office" coffee). Takeya is a small business that specializes in water bottles and pitchers. Promising review: "I purchased this to make cold brew coffee at the office. My coworkers and I were going to the local siren at least 3–4 times a week for our afternoon pick me up. It was starting to become a serious drain financially. We all chipped in to get this pitcher and take turns buying beans. Get them ground for a French press, or super coarse, and you'll have a pretty good replica. The instructions for making cold brew are pretty easy. We've seriously cut down our caffeine expenditures by 50%–75%. Now if we could figure out a way to order out less :)." — DT Get it from Amazon for $16.69+ (available in two sizes and three colors). 15. A user-friendly hexagonal productivity timer since it just might help you be more productive during the day. It has six present countdown times, any of which you can start simply by flipping the timer on its side. There's even a "mute" mode if you don't want to disturb your coworkers. Promising review:"Love love love this product. Simple design, works great. I time myself during writing sessions so I'm not sitting in long stretches. This little timer is perfectly shaped and has several pre-programmed time options. Highly recommend." — Mimi Foster Get it from Amazon for $34.19 (clip the 10% off coupon on the product page to get this price; available in three colors). 16. A memory foam seat cushion because your backside needs some extra special support to make it through an entire day of sitting at your desk. Many reviewers say it significantly reduces back pain. Promising review:"A few weeks into working from home five days a week I started having a lot of hip/leg/back pain. In the early afternoons my lower back would start cramping. I did some research and bought this pillow and it immediately helped! What really drove me to write this review was that yesterday, unknowingly, I worked all day sitting on my chair without my cushion. I had removed it to use as a spare chair at my dinner table and forgot to put it back. At the end of the day hip was aching and I realized why! Today it's back on my chair and I'm already feeling better." — Lorene Get it from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in seven colors). 17. A pair of compression gloves that can help alleviate joint pain from arthritis, tendonitis, and carpal tunnel, any of which could be the reason your hands and wrists absolutely ache when you type on the computer. ComfyBrace is a small business that specializes in pain-relieving compression products. Promising review: "This glove (I wore only right side) worked very well for the post-surgery nerve pain. After the surgery, I had the nerve pain on my right index finger and could not focus during work. The combination of this glove and small hand warmers helped me feel less pain for six weeks. It dries quickly after washing, too. I strongly recommend this product." — TJ Get a pair from Amazon for $9.97 (available in four sizes). 18. A Petcube pet monitoring camera since the hardest part of going to the office is having to leave your precious furbabies home alone. This has a wide angle and night vision, so you can always see what they're up to, but better yet, the two-way audio lets you talk to them from afar, too. They have one with a built-in treat dispenser if you want more remotely-controlled fun! Amazon Petcube is a California-based small business established in 2012 that specializes in interactive HD pet camera products. It's also app enabled and can send you instant notifications, sync with Amazon Alexa, and even access a vet on demand if you notice any weird behaviors. Promising review:"Unbeatable for the money. I needed a way to keep an eye on a new 4-month-old puppy who keeps digging holes in my yard. I didn't expect a lot for $39 but I was pleasantly surprised. The video is quick to get started and very clear, zoom is quick, and the night vision actually works. I haven't used any of the other features yet but these alone make this a great value! Far exceeding what I expected." — Rick Grisham Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (Get the treats-dispensing Petcube Bites 2 for $99.99). 19. A handy under-the-desk headphone mount and USB charger so you can store your headphones out of the way and declutter all the charging cords scattered about your desk. Promising review:"Simple straightforward product. Easy to mount and run wires to a power source. Works awesome under my standing desk and adds additional USB support for my gear." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in two styles). 20. Plus an under-the-desk phone holder because even just a quick glance at your phone somehow turns into endless scrolling on like a moth flying into the light; you can't help it. The only solution is to keep your phone out-of-sight and therefore out-of-mind. Beyond 3D Creations / Etsy Beyond 3D Creations is an Massachusetts-based Etsy shop established in 2020 that specializes in 3D-printed desk accessories. Promising review:"This is definitely a hit! Now I'm so used to reaching my phone from this holder without looking down at my desk, and my screentime has decreased a lot during day time. This really helps in terms of being more efficient so that I can finish my work early and get more me time back at the end of the day. Highly recommend it if you want to be less distracted while working!" — Shelby Cedrone Get it from Beyond 3D Creations on Etsy for $11.88+ (available in six colors, custom sizing available). 21. A convertible standing desk riser if you don't necessarily want to invest in a sit/stand desk but still want the flexibility to change up your work position. It's a great way to get the blood flowing, which just might lead to new ideas and innvotion! Tech Orbits is a small business that specializes in desk converters and office accessories. Promising review: "I've been looking at these for months and finally decided to buy one. Super happy with my purchase. I didn't want to replace my entire work desk so I opted for this. The entire unit slides up and down easily. Plenty of room around the monitor for speakers, pens, notes, even a fan. easily assembly. Not too heavy. I've really enjoyed being able to stand at my desk. I've been struggling with lower back pain and standing more seems to be helping. I find myself wanting to stand more often than I thought." — halaly Get it from Amazon for $129.99+ (available in three colors and six styles). 22. A dimmable sad duck nightlight to give you a good chuckle (or perhaps a ~quackle~) when you're feeling a bit overwhelmed at work yourself — at least you're doing better than this lil' bud! Amazon Promising review:"I got this lil' guy to illuminate my desk when our office started getting dark around 4 PM. I have gotten SO many compliments on him. People love the fact that he's squishy, and that his little legs are floppy. And, of course, how can you beat the thousand-yard-stare of this little duck who has clearly given up on everything? The battery life is so-so, but luckily the USB-C port is the same as my laptop charger, so I can just charge it on my desk during the day, and turn it on in the afternoon/evening. He's a squishy, depressed duck. What's not to love?" — Caitlyn Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (also available in two other styles). 23. A pair of blue light–blocking glasses if your eyes start to feel a bit 😵‍💫 by the end of the day. These work to help alleviate eye strain and even headaches caused by staring at screens constantly (and sadly, it's not just your computer screen creating issues but also your phone, tablet, and TV screens). Promising review:"I am not sure why everyone doesn't own blue light reducing glasses. These should be as essential as toilet paper. I spend my life on my laptop, phone, tablet (don't judge, I'm a student) and these have been a lifesaver. I can start writing a paper at 8 a.m. and stare at my screen until 8 p.m., getting nothing done but social media research, and my eyes aren't tired AT ALL!" — Valery Get a pack of two from Amazon for $13.98+ (available in eight color sets). 24. A set of Monkey Noodles because it turns out toys aren't just fun for kids but also for stressed-out adult office workers! You can stretch, pull, twirl, whirl, wrap, and squeeze these silly sensory toys to your heart's delight and hopefully work out any frustration or anxiety in the process. Promising review:"This is my absolute favorite fidget! I'm an adult with autism and ADHD. I carry one around with me everywhere I go. It definitely assists me in staying calm/still while I'm at work. I've recommended it to several friends!" — KaelynnVP Get a set of five from Amazon for $12.99. 25. Plus the "Ono Roller," which is an adult-geared fidget toy meant to stimulate focus and reduce anxiety through its smooth, quiet rolling. Reviewers say its super durable and love how satisfying it feels! Amazon, Ono is a small business specializing in compact, work-friendly fidgets for focus and stress relief. Promising review: "I have had ADHD since I was a small child, and this is the only thing I've ever found that helps me focus. It's quiet, durable, and keeps my mind occupied so I can focus (ADHD people will understand what I mean by that). A bit pricey, but worth every penny in my opinion!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $28+ (available in 10 colors and various sizes, including a junior size for kids and people with smaller hands). 26. A low-impact under-the-desk elliptical to help you get your steps in as you answer a bajillion emails. Multi-tasking, we love to see it. It also comes with a digital display that tracks time, speed, and distance, as well as eight different modes of resistance, so you can tailor it exactly to your needs. Promising review:"No assembly required! Took right out of the box and put it under my desk. Spend long hours on the computer and suffer from hip and leg pain. Use the exerciser on and off all day especially first thing in the morning to loosen up joints. Felt the different in just a couple of days. Just what I needed." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $96.98+ (available in five styles). 27. A clever rearview desk mirror so you're never caught offguard by a *surprise* visit from your boss. Of course, it also works as a regular mirror too so you can make sure you look your best when the office cutie walks by. Promising review:"I have a home office, and when I'm working from home, I like to have the TV on for background noise. Every now and then I'll hear something that I'll want to see, and now I don't need to stop working to turn my chair around and see — just put this on the shelf that holds my monitor, and now I can just glance over and keep working. It clips on easily, adjusts easily (my cat will come up and rub against it putting it out of whack)." — Robin M. Padon Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three styles). 28. An adjustable foam footrest since it's a simple and affordable way to improve hip, leg, and lower back pain often caused from sitting at a desk. Plus! It flips over to act as a rocking footrest, which is a real gift for super fidgety folks. Amazon Promising review:"Perfect foot rest, soft and comfortable. I work 10-hour days in my home office and this keeps me in my chair and on the job. Prior to purchasing this foot rest I experienced foot discomfort while sitting at my desk. It has been eliminated." — Katie Vento Get it from Amazon for $41.95+ (available in four colors and two styles). 29. A transparent monitor attachment you can attach all your sticky notes to, which will help clear up the clutter on your workspace *and* keep your notes directly in eyesight. Amazon Each of the attachments has a sticky film that's strong enough to adhere it to your monitor, but easy enough to remove that it won't damage it. Promising review:"I have 568 stickies on any given day, and this is exactly what I needed to keep myself organized. They came packaged nicely, had no cracks or scratches, and were easy to adhere to. The adhesive is awesome. It's not going anywhere!!! I recommend this to anyone like me who needs a cool place for their notes. You will be the envy of your coworkers!" — Avid Dancer Get it from Amazon for $5.97+ (available in two styles). 30. A sophisticated laptop tote bag because clunky backpacks are out and stylish, spacious totes are in. And like any good purse, it fits way more than it rightfully should: laptop, phone, charger, wallet, book, small water bottle, keys, and all those other-random-things-you-have-to-bring-with-you. Promising review: "It's much more spacious than it looks. It's very sleek and stylish. I use it as my work bag and I find that it looks professional and has enough space for all of my stuff. I carry a laptop, pencil case, two books, makeup bag, water bottle, wallet, lotion, phone and laptop charger, and other small miscellaneous objects. Still plenty of space. And when you see carry it, it doesn't feel bulky or cumbersome. The bag does sag a bit after use. But has held up to wear and tear. I would recommend." — Su Get it from Amazon for $34.86+ (available in ten styles).

Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · According to my crystal ball, your life will soon be filled with quicker morning routines and shoes that feel like "walking on clouds." 1. A desk-friendly HappyLight sunlamp to add a bright glow to any room that doesn't get a lot of direct sunlight — so it can basically be spring all year as far as your bedroom is concerned. It's meant to help improve your mood and energy levels, meaning you can spend the day getting stuff done instead of counting down the minutes until your daily hot girl walk. Amazon Read more about sunlamps and seasonal affective disorder (SAD) at Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic. Promising review:"I work from home at night. I never see the light of day during the winter. This light has been a joy to have and gives great light at my desk to work with, with the benefit of mimicking sun exposure. It's very easy to use and to replace bulbs." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (clip the $10 off coupon on the product page for this price). 2. A set of Lock Laces that'll turn all of your sneakers into slip-ons, which is the height of convenience and also super helpful for people with limited motor skills. Now you can just slip your shoes on, pull the toggle cord to your preferred tightness, and go about your day! Amazon Promising review:"I can't believe just how pumped I am over these shoelaces! They make me wanna slip my shoes off and on just because I can! They make my shoes more comfortable than I could have ever imagined (due to the elasticity). I have them set up to just the right amount of tightness to where I can just slip my shoes on and off without having to adjust them at all (and they are plenty tight). Welcome to the 21st century!" — dm925 Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 17 colors). 3. A popular Levoit air-purifier — it has a three-stage filtration system to help capture the pesky allergens floating around your home that are in a full-on war with your sinuses. This will even help capture pet hair if the change of weather is causing your fluffy friend to shed more fur than you even knew was on its little body. Promising review:"This air purifier is great! I bought it because there was a lot of pollen and cat dander in my house which was making my asthma flare-up. Since I've got this air purifier, the cat odor has decreased, and I don't need to use my inhaler as much. The noise is very quiet and not interruptive for me. Overall, I love this item and totally recommend it." — Dana Get it from Amazon for $69.99+ (available in two colors). 4. A BrüMate tumbler with a feature you've been praying to the tumbler gods for: a straw lid that doesn't leak!!! Yes, you can turn this baby upside down like a DQ Blizzard, and you won't lose a single drop. The thought of throwing this in my giant tote bag and not having to worry about spills is honestly bringing a tear to my eye. And of course, it has all the usual features you'd know and love by now — a handle, cup holder–friendly fit, and insulation that keeps drinks cold for over 24 hours. Bonus – this is dishwasher-safe! Promising review:"The BrüMate is an absolute game-changer for anyone looking for a reliable drink container. I ts 100% leakproof design means you can confidently toss it into your bag without worrying about spills, making it perfect for on-the-go use. The durability is outstanding; it holds up well against daily wear and tear, maintaining its sleek look and performance. Most impressively, it keeps beverages cold for a full 24 hours. Whether you're hiking, at the office, or relaxing by the pool, the BrüMate is the ultimate companion for keeping your drinks icy cold. Highly recommend!" — Horace Dixon Get it from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in 21 colors and two sizes). 5. A cooling memory foam mattress topper that'll instantly upgrade your bed and have you feeling like you checked into The White Lotus for spring break... without the murder, of course. It's infused with temperature-regulating gel beads that capture and dissipate heat so you can sleep soundly and comfortably — even when you're bundled up under your thickest blanket. Promising review:"After a week, my back pain was virtually gone. I didn't want to jump to conclusions, though, so I decided to give it more time. It's now been over a month, and the topper has held up perfectly; the back pain is still virtually nonexistent, and even better, I'm not waking up as sweaty, so I guess the gel in the topper is doing the trick as waking up in a sweat had been part of my issue. Simply put, I'm now sleeping through the night better and waking up feeling better, so I'd say this is definitely worth looking at if you're having back issues with your mattress." — David T. Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes twin–California king, two thickness levels, and with or without a cover). 6. And a medium-firm Coop Home Goods pillow with adjustable memory foam filling so you can customize the size and shape to your exact needs! It's designed for side, back, and side sleepers (so, basically everyone), and reviewers say it's breathable and retains its shape all night. The rest of 2025 is about to be filled with the best sleep you've ever had. 3-6-5 sleepy girl — nappin' that! Promising review:"I hardly ever write reviews, but I have to for this. I saw this pillow on TikTok, and it got me curious, so I immediately came to Amazon. OMG, it's such a game-changer. I'm a side sleeper, and this pillow is heaven. It's some of the most comfortable sleep I have had in ages. I love it so much that I bought a second one and have my eye on the body pillow. Obsessed! You need this in your bedroom." — MT Coop Sleep Goods is a small business specializing in pillows, pillowcases, and sleep products. Get it from Amazon for $63.20+ (available in queen and king sizes, and three shapes). 7. And!! A cervical neck "pillow" that has a super catchy slogan: "10 minutes a day, keep neck pain away!" It features six massage nodes to help relieve pressure in your neck and a U-shaped curvature to help support and align your spine. Amazon, BuzzFeed Shopping writer Mallory Mower has used this and says it's surprisingly comfy: After ages of looking at this thing and wondering if it was the real deal, I finally buckled and bought it. My husband and I both carry stress in our neck, and we're on our computers all day for work, so we needed some serious help. This is surprisingly comfortable to lay on. I use it 10 minutes a day and have noticed serious pain relief, and believe it is a great tool as I work on improving my posture. If you have any neck or back issues, talk to your doctor before use. Promising review:"I was very surprised at the quality of this neck and shoulder relaxer, especially at this price. It has a nice structure to it, but is also soft enough to cradle your neck in comfort. Just taking a few minutes to use this helps to improve my neck and shoulder pain greatly. This especially helps when you have slept on your neck wrong and have a Crick in your neck. Very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend it." — Cindy Get it from Amazon for $19.79+ (available in six colors). 8. Eos' Cashmere Skin Collection Shave Oil — which is available in the same scent as the show-stopping, spectacular, unbelievably delicious Eos Vanilla Cashmere body lotion. If you can't tell, I'm in love with this scent, and the shave oil smells just as good AND helps prevent razor burn thanks to the silky smooth texture that allows your razor to glide like butter. Dear reader, I have tried this and it is an 11/10. It's so easy to apply (it's more a thick gel when dispensed, but smooths out to a thin oil when applied) and my razor now glides across my skin like an Olympic ice skater. I also haven't experienced any irritation (which is rare for my delicate baby angel skin that freaks out if you just look at it the wrong way), and the extra touch of moisture left behind is a nice bonus. Also, I'm not sure if I've made this clear yet, but I really love the scent. Like, I want to cover everything in my life in this scent. I would like to awaken to a cloud of it spritzed in my face every morning. It is vanilla-caramel gourmand heaven. Promising review: "I am absolutely loving this serum! I t creates the smoothest shave I've ever had, leaving my skin feeling incredibly soft and hydrated. The serum glides on easily, providing a close shave without any irritation or nicks. My razor moves effortlessly, and I'm impressed by how nourished my skin feels afterward. The light, refreshing scent is an added bonus! It's a must-have for anyone looking to upgrade their shaving routine and enjoy a comfortable, irritation-free experience. Highly recommend!" — Shay Get it from Amazon for $7.97 (also available in two other scents). 9. Or Veet's sensitive hair removal gel that's formulated with aloe, so it's perfect for anyone who typically deals with redness and irritation after using razors or wax. It's also meant to provide longer-lasting results when compared to traditional shaving and reduce the chance of ingrowns. Be prepared to pat yourself on your smooth, hairless back! It comes with a spatula for removing the cream! Just be sure to test a small area of your skin and make sure there are no adverse reactions for 24 hours. Promising review:"I have been looking for a good hair removal for my sensitive skin, and this one is perfect. It has a great odor and leaves my skin feeling smooth and silky. It does not burn my skin at all, even when I leave it on for 15 minutes or more. This is definitely my new hair removal cream. I will recommend this one to everyone." — Crystal Get it from Amazon for $9.47 (also available in a two-pack). 10. And a vegan ingrown hair oil so good at reducing post-shaving redness and irritation, you might just thank the UPS person who delivered your package every time you see them. The secret is tea tree oil (it'll help calm down any inflammation) and a blend of jojoba and grapeseed oil to add extra moisture and softness. And yes, it's designed to be safe to use on intimate areas! You don't have to tell the UPS person about that part, though. Bushbalm Read more about tea tree oil at Mayo Clinic. Promising review:" I've bought this product numerous times, and it never fails. I have no more ingrowns and it also helps so much with irritation after shaving!" — Pris Bushbalm is an Ottawa-based small skincare brand creating products for our most sensitive areas. Get it from Amazon for Bushbalm for $26. 11. A pack of antibacterial paper soap sheets that will seriously come in handy when the public restroom you're using is out of that mysterious pink sludge they call soap. Just pull out a sheet, wet it, then get to lathering. The days of frantically asking everyone in sight for hand sani are long behind you. Promising review:"I bought these to put into my bag/pocket to carry around, just in case. Sometimes public restrooms do not have soap, and that is extremely inconvenient. These come in super handy! One sheet is definitely enough for me, and it's so cool to watch it turn from a dry sheet of paper into sudsy soap with water added. I 100% recommend." — woolymammoth Fomin is a small business specializing in cleaning products. Get them from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in three scents and various pack sizes). 12. A cordless portable bath jet spa — it'll basically give you the bubbling jacuzzi of your dreams without having to drop Jacuzzi money. Just attach this under the spout in your bathtub and then choose between "jet mode" or "bubble mode." Of course, you'll then need to choose between "read-with-a-glass-of-wine mode" or "zone-out-and-listen-to-SZA mode." Promising review: "This lil' thing rocks! I didn't think it would be as powerful as it is, but my tub time now is sooo relaxing. It makes bubbles well as soothes you with that jet stream. If you like to soak for your health. I highly recommend this Lil powerhouse. Worth every penny." — TabbiJCMA Get it from Amazon for $76.99 (available in three colors). 13. A Pikk-it tool designed to remove the tangled hair/fur that's lodged in your vacuum's roller brush, which is making it WAY less effective btw. Before you splurge on that new Dyson, give this a shot. You can also use it to spruce up your hairbrushes, so this is basically stray hair's worst enemy. Also, cleaning your cleaning appliances is a level of adulthood most never reach in their lifetime. Proud of you. Promising review: "Between myself (medium long hair) and my overly fluffy cat, a lot of hair and fluff was continually getting caught up on the roller brush of my vacuum. I dreaded vacuuming because it took so long to pull and snip the hairs wrapped up on the roller brush out with scissors. Not anymore! This silly, little, inexpensive thing works great! Super quick to remove all the hair/fur — in virtually a minute, then back to vacuuming with my lovely Miele vacuum." — MKS Get it from Amazon for $8.99. 14. A very viral veggie chopper for anyone whose knife skills are worse than Kendall Jenner's. Just place your veggie on top of the interchangeable blades, press down on the lid, and you'll have a container full of perfectly chopped produce! More than 80,000 reviewers have upgraded their cooking game thanks to this genius gadget. Future you will be so proud at how many fresh veggies you're consuming. The 4-in-1 model comes with two chopping blades (one with small cubes and one with larger cubes) and two spiralizer blades (a julienne cutter and a ribbon cutter). You'll also receive a finger guard, two cleaning brushes, and two cleaning scrapers. All pieces are dishwasher-safe! Promising review:"Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. This requires very little effort to cut through the food, and it has a generous container." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $29.97+ (available in five styles, four colors, and one with a stainless steel container). 15. And a grater with a built-in storage box from our very own Tasty collection, which is pretty genius if we do say so ourselves. You know how typical graters leave you with a Leaning Tower of Cheeza that you then have to awkwardly scrape off the cutting board? Well, this one grates right into an attached storage box with measurement markings, so you can grate the perfect amount and leave the rest for later. Amazon It comes with a coarse blade for grating cheese and veggies and a fine blade for grating chocolate and zesting citrus. You'll also get a blade cover for safe storage — and all parts are top-rack dishwasher-safe. Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 16. A no-scrub Wet & Forget weekly shower cleaner that's every lazy cleaner's biggest dream come true: there's literally zero scrubbing required. It'll stop soap scum and residue from forming before they have a chance to take over your entire tub. Just spray, walk away, and rinse 8-12 hours later. Psst! Just be sure you start with a nice clean tub or shower. This isn't powerful enough for a deep-clean, but it will keep things looking fresh in between major cleaning sessions. Promising review:"I saw this product on TikTok and decided to try it out for myself. The name doesn't lie — spray it on, shut the bathroom door, and in a few hours, the shower is 100 times cleaner. Usually, I'll let it sit overnight, and by morning, the visible grime on the shower is gone, including soap scum. I'll usually let the shower water rinse the residue out and then will take a bucket just to get everything off the shower walls. It is a bit slick if you try to get in the shower without rinsing the residue, but otherwise, it's a worthy cleaning staple in my house." — Tara D. Get it from Amazon for $19.39+ (available in two scents and two sizes). 17. A genius brush and squeegee combo so you can just swipe all your countertop messes directly into the sink. It even has a built-in ledge so you can hang it when not in use. Your counters will no longer be a future picnic area for ants. Amazon Promising review:"LOVE THIS PRODUCT! Saves me so many paper towels, easily washed in the dishwasher, and the small size saves space! Will always have one of these on hand for sure!" — Prime Time Review Get it from Amazon for $10.63. 18. A migraine relief cap you'll love so much you might just Google, "Can I marry an inanimate object?" You can throw it in the freezer or microwave for both hot and cold treatments, and you can also wear it as a sleep mask so you can enjoy some sweet overnight relief. Read more about how temperature therapy can help with migraine prevention at Mayo Clinic. Promising review: "I heard about it on TikTok, and I was skeptical. I put it in the freezer as soon as I got it in the mail. Then, out of nowhere, I felt a headache coming on. I pulled it out of the freezer, slipped it on, and I passed out. When I woke up, my migraine was gone. I now go to bed with it on almost every night. I love that it's a blackout mask. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!" — TheWalkFam Get it from Amazon for $27.95+ (available in six colors and two-packs). 19. A magnetic bobby pin tray so they'll always be within easy reach, whether you need to secure that updo or hem those pants when you're in a rush. Imagine a future where you aren't scrambling for a bobby pin every time you need one! Promising review:"I love this product. My bathroom drawer looks so organized now that my bobby pins aren't all over the place. I loved that it came with bobby pins which I had no idea would be included! It's nice to also have some new bobby pins!" — Monica Blue Feather Products is a small business specializing in unique storage products. Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two colors). 20. A toilet wand with disposable cleaning heads (the cleaning solution is built-in — just activate with water!) that makes scrubbing the porcelain throne feel like less of a chore. The kit comes with six refill heads (and a handy dandy storage stand for the wand and refills) to get you started, so you can immediately say goodbye to that dirty toilet brush and get to scrubbing in about 30 seconds! Promising review:"So, we have a toilet that belongs to the cats. We don't use it, we don't look at it, we like to pretend it does not exist. Even with semiregular flushing, cat waste is pretty nasty stuff and builds up quickly in the bowl. One of these wands cleaned it up in a single session! Before-and-after pic attached (above)." — Whitney Get it from Amazon for $11.99. 21. A pair of Nippies, adhesive pasties over 30,000 reviewers swear by for feeling comfortable, secure, and supported. The medical-grade adhesive provides a strong waterproof hold, and they're entirely washable and reusable. Reviewers love them for tops and dresses that just don't work with a regular bra — and they come in several colors to match various skin tones. Promising review:"So I decided to put these to the ultimate test for 4th of July underneath my white, semi-sheer swimsuit. I wore them out in the Florida heat in the ocean all day, and they did not budge or peel off. I thought for sure these would take skin off by the time I got home because I just couldn't believe they stayed on the entire day (humidity is real). I was able to remove them with ease. I washed them with warm water and soap and let them dry, and the next day, they were super sticky, like they were brand new out of the package again. Buying these forever." — Marisa Get it from Amazon for $26.50. BuzzFeed editor Natalie Brown swears by these pasties! Check out her Nippies review to learn more. 22. A TikTok-viral Odele air-dry cream so you can save all the time you spend with heat tools — this low-maintenance solution will give you bounce and volume in just a few scrunches. The instructions couldn't be more simple: work evenly into towel-dried hair and go! The hydrolyzed rice protein will help strengthen your strands and resist frizz for up to 24 hours. Note: According to the brand, this is best for straight, wavy, curly, fine, and medium hair. Those with coarse or coily hair may prefer the brand's leave-in conditioner for extra moisture. Check it out on TikTok here! Promising review:"I have long, thick hair, which is a lot of work to blow dry! This product allows me to wash and go. It helps fight the frizzies from the humidity and adds a nice beach wave. It does not weigh your hair down, and it does not feel sticky at all. You can go several days without rewashing! I highly recommend this product! My stylist even bought it for her daughter, and they love it. And she is in a high-end salon with high-end products. Definitely a game changer, and you can't beat the price!!!!" — Diane Odele is a woman-owned and operated small business specializing in hair care. Get it from Amazon for $11.99. 23. And a pomade hair wax stick — it'll be a major timesaver on those days when you want to smooth down flyaways, cowlicks, or set baby hairs into place. Just swipe it over any targeted areas you want to smooth, and it'll provide some seriously strong hold without any sticky residue. You'll wish you had this back in the day when getting ready for school, but now your hair will finally hold up in windy weather! Promising reviews:"I saw this on YouTube and immediately wanted to try it. I have curly hair, which I love, but sometimes I just want to put it in a ponytail and go on with my day. This is a time saver for all those little hairs that tend to stick up or don't want to stay in place. I'm not a fan of hairspray, and this even smells nice. I believe it's a light coconut smell. Overall satisfied, and you don't need to use much. I took it with me on vacation, and it saved me time in the evening from having to deal with bad hair days." — Blanca Perez "I have 4A-4B curls. When my hair is straight, there are a few spots that are a little frizzier than others, which, to me, isn't a big deal. Some flyaways, however, were the biggest reason why I got this. It lays the baby hairs and is a little bit of a heavier product. I will say you just have to be careful if you're not used to using heavy products. The first time I used it, I just put a little in my hands and then put it where it was needed." — Jay Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (also available in multipacks). 24. A duffel bag roomy enough to fit all the essentials for a weekend trip — you'll be so glad you don't have to lug a heavy suitcase around on any trips you take this year. The interior contains three pockets for organization and a bonus wet pocket to keep dirty laundry or soaked toiletries separate from your other clothes. Amazon, It's water-resistant and has an adjustable long strap. Promising review: "I recently went camping and was able to pack a lot into this bag. It zipped up easily. I love the color, it's almost a 'neutral pink' and not too 'look at me, I'm Barbie in the woods!' The shoulder strap was comfortable, and the handles were comfortable, too. It was snowing while unloading from the truck to the cabin, and despite this bag getting wet (and VERY cold), everything inside was very dry." — Smile Saurus Get it from Amazon for $15.29+ (available in a variety of colors/styles and two sizes). 25. A styling station — because next to winter coats, heat tools are officially the second most annoying household item to store. It has slots for three different tools, a compartment in the back for power cords, and you can either place in your under-sink cabinet or hang it over your towel rack. A future without hair tools crowding your under-sink cabinet is possible! Amazon Promising review:"I have a ridiculously small bathroom and a super small vanity. After too many instances of my dryer and straightener falling to the floor, I went searching for an option to get them off the non-existent counter and onto the towel holder next to my sink. This product has done the trick — it helps me keep my counter space organized and provides me with a great, heat-resistant holder to place them in while I'm working through my hair. Highly recommend!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $24.95+ (available in four colors). Or, check out an over-the-cabinet-door styling station. 26. A handy double-sided brush that will scrub away at every nook and cranny of your utensils, because giving them a quick swipe with your sponge is really not cutting it. Your silverware will be so sparkly clean you'll almost feel bad for storing it away in the utensil drawer. Amazon Promising review:"I am really accident-prone! I used to cut myself frequently while washing my knives. It is so easy to clean them now! Just swish your knife through the brush, and you're done! The brush is thick, so it really does a thorough cleaning! This is one of the favorite purchases I've made in the last year!" — Kindle Customer Penny Get it from Amazon for $7.99. 27. A jar opening tool — it'll be an absolute lifesaver when that jar of Ragu is holding on to the lid like its life depends on it (to be fair, it kind of does). It has four different slots to help open a variety of jar sizes, and there's even a helpful hook at the top to help with pull-tab cans when it's a Chef Boyardee kind of night. Promising review: " This is amazing! I wish I knew about this sooner! Makes opening any jar of any size so easy! Especially the ones with the airtight seal. Also, this is for anyone of any age or any strength… everyone can benefit. If you want to just make opening any jar effortless, you need this!" — Kim Get it from Amazon for $6.99. 28. A pair of Skechers Go Walk sneakers that reviewers say hold up for many years and many 10k step days. They're made with a super lightweight insole made with ~goga mat technology~ that provides some cushy comfort while still offering lots of support for walking and running. Also, several reviewers have compared these to walking on clouds, which is truly the highest compliment you can give to shoes. Promising review: " I purchased these originally in May 2020, and I finally bought a second pair in April 2022. I chose these two years ago to help with the foot/knee/back pain I was having while walking on the hard concrete floors of my lab. They soon became my all-day, everyday shoes: at work, at home, and outside. The fabric upper is slightly stretchy, making it feel like the shoe is hugging your foot without binding. I have a large bunio,n and these are the only shoes I've worn that don't put pressure on it or have a seam in that area that causes pain. These sneakers have been through hundreds of hours of walking along with yard work and hiking. I have machine-washed them countless times (not recently, lol), and they've held up without fraying or shrinking. The fabric comes completely clean from the red clay we have here in the south, along with stains from oil and chicken poop (don't ask)." — Lauren C Get it from Amazon for $64.95+ (available in sizes women's 5–13, in two widths, and 10 colors). 29. A "one tripper" shopping bag so spacious even Mary Poppins would be impressed. No really, it can replace up to four plastic shopping bags! It's strong and stretchy enough to carry heavy produce, soda bottles, and anything else you typically dread having to lug from the trunk to the front door. Promising review:"Great, huge bag! This was exactly what I was looking for! I live in a walkable neighborhood and needed a large bag that is sturdy but packs small so that I am more likely to bring it with me. I also appreciate that the bags come in different colors!" — Ennierda Me Mother Earth is a small business specializing in eco-friendly products and based in Nevada. Get it from Me Mother Earth on Etsy for $11.99 (available in three colors). 30. A wire-free bra with a whopping 32,000+ rave ratings from reviewers who say it's super lightweight (like, you might forget you even have it on) while still feeling supportive. Oh — and the straps don't flip and get contorted throughout the day! Imagine not daydreaming about going home so you can finally take your bra off!!! Promising review: " I recently tried this bra, and it has quickly become one of my favorites! The fit is perfect – true to size with just the right amount of stretch to ensure comfort all day. The straps are adjustable and don't dig in, even after wearing it for hours. The fabric is soft against the skin, and the breathability is great, so I never feel overheated. The support is amazing without feeling too constrictive. It gives a natural lift and keeps everything in place without any uncomfortable digging or shifting. I also love the design; it's sleek and subtle, making it perfect to wear under a variety of outfits." — Tzippy M Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 19 colors) 31. And a comfy sports bra — it has a breathable four-way stretch design that'll make you wonder how you put up with the less stretchy prison of your old sports bra. It's so comfy you'll probably still reach for this on the days when the only "sport" you're doing is channel surfing. It also has removable padding and easily adjustable straps so you can find your perfect fit instead of settling for the slightly too big bra you've been dealing with because you're no longer in the 30-day return period 😔. Amazon Promising review:"After trying a bunch of different sports bras and tops, I came across this one. I absolutely love it. It's super supportive and comfortable. The adjustable straps help make this the perfect fit." — Perrone Get it from Amazon for $23.80 (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and seven colors) 32. A sinus rinse bottle, because your nostrils could be the setting for Osmosis Jones 2 with all the annoying allergens that are taking up residence in there. The squeeze bottle design lets you control the flow and pressure of the water, meaning the days of awkwardly tipping your head with a traditional Neti Pot are over. Imagine coming home and rinsing away all the gunk in your nose after a day at the botanical garden. Heaven. Not only do you get the bottle but also three nozzles (two for adults and one for kids) and a 30-pack of nasal wash salt packs. Read more about nasal rinses and allergies at Mayo Clinic — including important info on using distilled or sterilized water. Promising review:"I love the design of this. Very practical and easy to use/clean. If you haven't used a Neti pot before, the first time is a lot like getting dunked in a swimming pool. You have to learn to relax your nasal passage and become accustomed to the water flowing from one nostril into your sinuses and then out the other nostril. By your second attempt, this becomes easy. After a week of using this, I noticed my ear canals were clearer. The first use left my nose clean and clear. Seriously, if you are suffering from congestion/allergens, try this (or another Neti pot) out. It is simple logic. Flush your entire nasal passage and reduce allergens. Nothing fancy, just cleaning your pipes." — New to this Get it from Amazon for $13.85 (available in three colors). 33. A bottle of Crep Protect spray to basically turn your go-to sneakers into waterproof rain boots. One coat of the quick-drying formula will repel water and stains for up to four weeks, so you can frolic and splash around in as many puddles as you want without ruining your favorite white kicks. Promising review:"Tried this product because of the reviews. It did not disappoint! Sprayed our running shoes before a long trip to France. We had lots of rain and only realized after getting home that we NEVER had wet feet! Every new pair will get treated before they're worn!" — Richard L. Get it from Amazon for $16. 34. A bottle of Rain-X water repellent so your windshield wipers won't have to go into hyper-speed just to clear away that pesky afternoon shower on your way home from work (it's been a long enough day already). It'll create a protective invisible coating that repels water so that it forms into small beads and glides away quickly and smoothly. It works best when applied to a clean windshield and should not be used on plastic or surfaces treated with anti-scratch or anti-protective coatings. Promising review:"My dad loves rain-X so much he would buy a T-shirt with their logo if he could. He's used this on my car, and it's great if you have to drive in the rain — I would especially recommend it if you get a headache from having to have rapid windshield wipers on. This repels the rain, so when you are driving, it just glides right off the top of your windshield, so you don't have to use your wipers as much. COLD CLIMATE PEOPLE: If you get frost, sleet, ice, etc., on your windshield, it comes off so much easier if you have rain-X on. I've seen my dad put this on my friend's vehicles when they park outside our house because he wants to share the joy of rain-X with people." — G Tiff Get it from Amazon for $6.99.

32 Products That'll Really And Truly Help You During The Work Day

We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · A monitor attachment for your sticky notes and retro-style keyboard is exactly what you're missing — just saying. 1. A HappyLight sunlamp if the days haven't gotten long enough yet and you're still down in the dumps. This could potentially help improve your sleep, mood, and energy levels so you can make it to the end of your day a little easier. It has two brightness levels, two interchangeable lenses, and you can either leave it on its included stand or mount it on the wall. Amazon Read more about sunlamps and seasonal affective disorder (SAD) at Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic. Promising review:"I work from home at night. I never see the light of day during the winter. This light has been a joy to have and gives great light at my desk to work with with the benefit of mimicking sun exposure. It's very easy to use and to replace bulbs." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (clip the $10 off coupon on the product page for this price). 2. A set of wireless Bluetooth earbuds because the sound quality, different sets of squishy ear tips (for a custom fit!), and waterproof design (which Apple AirPods are NOT) can match or even outdo their more expensive cousin. If you want something for meetings or working (with your favorite podcast on in the background), these are a perfect, affordable option! Reviewers rave about how these last for years and are shockingly good for how cheap they are. These come with a wireless charging case that provides up to 14 hours of charge (with the earbuds able to play for four-plus hours with each full charge). Promising review:"I bought these as a lightening deal and they are worth every penny! They easily pair with my phone and laptop. I can switch between the two and use them for a full morning of meetings. Unless you are set on Airpods, Beats or some other name brand, save your money and but these. With the money you save, you could buy pairs for friends or keep extras around...I have a puppy with an affinity to earbuds and their case so I might purchase an extra in case." — Carmen Get it from Amazon $24.99+ (available in five colors). 3. Orrrr, a pair of comfy over-the-ear noise-canceling Bluetooth headphones if you get easily distracted as you work — and want to tune out the conversations in the break room, too. A single charge from these will easily get you through a whole workday (you can get up to 40 hours of playback with noise-canceling on), so you don't have to panic when you're attending a meeting from a coffee shop. And if you're in a pinch for time, just charge these for five minutes to get four of playback! Promising review:"I recently found the need for over the ear noise-cancelling Bluetooth headphones three days a week, four hours at a time. I needed them to be comfortable, possess strong noise cancelling capabilities, sound good and be of good quality without an exaggerated price. They sound great, are very comfortable for extended periods, pair easily with Apple products and the noise-cancelling capabilities are very good. The economical price makes these a tremendous value. I highly recommend l these even compared to the many models costing twice as much." — M. de La Torre Get it from Amazon for $39.98+ (available in two versions and four colors). 4. A 3-in-1 foldable magnetic wireless charger that'll not only fold up compactly into your work bag but also replace two of your three clunky chargers since it can juice up your iPhone, AirPods, and smartwatch all at the same time on your desk. Promising review: "This product is absolutely amazing for all my charging needs! I love that it isn't bulky and I can easily fold it up to take it with me on the go! Plus, the charge is quick and the grip is fantastic as well. I've already had friends and family ask where to purchase!" — Alena Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in six colors). 5. A set of Loops earplugs — they're incredibly helpful for anyone who gets distracted by noise in the office and need extra help focusing. It'll quiet excessive noise, *but* you'll still be able to hear someone call out your name if you forgot about your 2 p.m. meeting. Promising review:"Unlike the fugly foam earplugs the airlines provide, the Loop plugs won't fall out, won't make disturbing noises when you move your head, and maybe most significantly, they won't stick out of your ears and make you look like Shrek. They will enable most ambient noise to be reduced to enable you to focus or sleep and will do so while still enabling you to hear loud noises such as those you'd want to hear in the event of an emergency or child screaming/crying. This is a great product." — Gary Albright Get it from Amazon for $27.95+ (available in six colors). 6. A daily planner so you can get your ducks in a row for the day *and* some words of encouragement, because you DO have this! It'll be so convenient to be able to see your meetings for the day, what you need to get done, and even how much water you've drunk at a quick glance — because your three cups of coffee can make you a little dehydrated! Each planner comes with 50 tear-off sheets the size of a standard piece of paper. Bliss Collections is a family-owned, Wisconsin-based business established in 2012 that specializes in stationery, planners and pads, and drinkware. Promising review:"These daily planning sheets keep this mama on TRACK! I started out printing daily planning and schedule sheets from a free download on my computer. Then I realized why not just buy some already printed so I save my ink at home. I found these and love how the day, schedule, tasks, and health habits are organized. I've already reordered once and will continue to use these." — Shannon Hoglund Get it from Amazon for $5.99 (available in various sizes and styles). 7. Or a minimalist weekly desk planner reviewers say helps them stay super organized because you can quickly glance at everything you have for the week. In addition to the Sunday—Saturday columns, there's a to-do list, habit tracker, and notes for your next week. You'll be conquering everything you have to do ~aesthetically~ — and that's a promise! Bliss Collections is a family-owned, Wisconsin-based business established in 2012 that specializes in stationery, planners and pads, and drinkware. Promising review: "It's minimal just how I like it. It's only 50 sheets which is perfect because there's only 52 weeks in a year. I started a small business recently and my mind has been all over the place. I purchased this to be more organized instead of just going with the flow. Love how it has the to-do list that I can use as a reminder or little shopping list for supplies. The habit tracker I'll use for personal stuff that I want to do but usually don't give myself time to do it. And the notes for next week is good so that you can jot down things and not forget for the upcoming week without having to start the new sheet." — katB Get a pad of 50 undated sheets from Amazon for $9.49 (available in various sizes and styles). Psst — if you want to jazz this up a bit, reviewers love these fine point rainbow colored pens for planners and journals on Amazon! 8. An undetectable mouse jiggler when you want to go make lunch or grab a quick coffee but don't want your manager to think you're slacking — because the "away" status on Teams and Slack is not the best look on a busy day. You'll still be able to get your fuel *and* have everyone in awe of how productive you were during your 9 to 5. Promising review:"Like everyone else, I stumbled upon this product because of a TikTok I saw. Setup was extremely easy, and I'm pleased to say that my Teams green light is on all the time now. Workers of the world, unite." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in five styles). 9. A six-outlet wall charger if you need more outlets but fear you'll trip over a normal surge protector (those cords can come out of nowhere!). This has two USB fast-charging ports, a night-light, *and* also acts as a surge protector because your work computer needs to be protected at all costs. Promising review:"Need something simple so I could plug in all the electronics at my desk. This is much nicer than just a standard power strip since it doesn't add any more cords to the chaos. Plugs are angled enough that they don't get in the way of you have several things plugged in. For reference I usually have my laptop charger, monitor, Google home mini, lamp, and phone charger plugged in at any given point in time. Night-light is a nice addition." — Samantha Get it from Amazon for $17.97+ (available in three colors and two sizes). 10. A hexagonal productivity timer so you can focus on tasks for 5–45 minutes before taking a break or hopping onto your next meeting. Just flip onto one of the pre-numbered sides to start the timer — or plug in however many minutes you'd like for a custom option. You can also mute the alarm if you're in the office or out in public and don't want to annoy anyone around you. Promising review:"Love love love this product. Simple design, works great. I time myself during writing sessions so I'm not sitting in long stretches. This little timer is perfectly shaped and has several pre-programmed time options. Highly recommend." — Mimi Foster Get it from Amazon for $37.99 (available in three colors). 11. A memory foam seat cushion designed to help relieve pressure on your tailbone — reviewers say is great for anyone working long hours at a desk. And it's much cheaper than replacing your chair altogether! Promising review:"A few weeks into working from home five days a week I started having a lot of hip/leg/back pain. In the early afternoons my lower back would start cramping. I did some research and bought this pillow and it immediately helped! What really drove me to write this review was that yesterday, unknowingly, I worked all day sitting on my chair without my cushion. I had removed it to use as a spare chair at my dinner table and forgot to put it back. At the end of the day hip was aching and I realized why! Today it's back on my chair and I'm already feeling better." — Lorene Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in five colors). 12. A Wi-Fi extender so the next time you're on a Zoom, Google, or Teams meeting you don't have any lag that makes you say, "Sorry, you cut out can you say that again?" Because how annoying is that... You won't need to perfectly position your computer in your home to get a good connection anymore! Promising review:"This is a great product. We live in an old farmhouse and even though we have the fastest and highest internet service, we just couldn't get the signal throughout the entire house, or even our upstairs. But once we plugged in this range extender, we now have our 5G throughout the entire house and even the garage! It was super easy to install. No hassles. Easy to follow instructions." — Jennifer Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in two styles). 13. A convenient under-the-desk headphone mount with two types of USB chargers and little slots to hold your cords so you're nice and organized at your work-from-home desk. You can kiss tangly cords and clunky headphones that get in your way goodbye, because this stores everything underneath your desk. Promising review: "Simple straightforward product. Easy to mount and run wires to a power source. Works awesome under my standing desk and adds additional USB support for my gear." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two styles). 14. Plus an under-the-desk phone holder so your phone is always next to you. but you won't get nearly as distracted from your screen lighting up with notifications. As much as we'd like to think turning our phone over will do the trick, it really doesn't TBH. So this can help you get in the work groove more easily! Beyond 3D Creations / Etsy Beyond 3D Creations is an Massachusetts-based Etsy shop established in 2020 that specializes in 3D-printed desk accessories. Promising review:"This is definitely a hit! Now I'm so used to reaching my phone from this holder without looking down at my desk, and my screentime has decreased a lot during day time. This really helps in terms of being more efficient so that I can finish my work early and get more me time back at the end of the day. Highly recommend it if you want to be less distracted while working!" — Shelby Cedrone Get it from Beyond 3D Creations on Etsy for $11.88+ (available in six colors, custom sizing available). 15. A convertible standing desk riser because sometimes you get sick of sitting and want to change up how you're working. Reviewers say it's really easy to set up and use, so you can have a standing desk without having to buy a super expensive one — just squeeze the handle on the side and lift to ~elevate~ your desk. Tech Orbits is a small business that specializes in desk converters and office accessories. Promising review: "I've been looking at these for months and finally decided to buy one. Super happy with my purchase. I didn't want to replace my entire work desk so I opted for this. The entire unit slides up and down easily. Plenty of room around the monitor for speakers, pens, notes, even a fan. easily assembly. Not too heavy. I've really enjoyed being able to stand at my desk. I've been struggling with lower back pain and standing more seems to be helping. I find myself wanting to stand more often than I thought." — halaly Get it from Amazon for $119.99+ (available in three colors and four sizes). 16. And a standing desk anti-fatigue mat so you can stand at your desk for hours. The mat's ~ergonomic typography~ lets you switch up how you stand on it (and still feel comfortable), which squishy kitchen mats *can't* do. Reviewers with plantar fasciitis swear by this cause of its unmatched support — one person even called it a " life changer." Amazon ErgoDriven is a US-based small business specializing in workplace ergonomics. Promising review: "Really nice mat, helps with leg and back fatigue. I stand up 50 percent of the time at my desk and I can feel the difference in the two weeks I've had this product. It seems to have the right balance of comfort and support. It is a little pricey compared to other brands, but it is very solidly made and it appears it will last a long time. Worth the extra money, in my opinion." — Jeff Get it from Amazon for $119+ (available in three colors). Psst — you can check out a mini version for more compact spaces for $69 on Amazon! 17. A set of clear drawer organizers if your desk is basically the land of misfit things you don't have a home for — this can fix that! You can dedicate spots for your pens, sticky notes, staplers, and spare office necessities so you don't have to rummage through the same spots until you *finally* find what you need. Promising review:"These organizers are perfect. I use them at my makeup station, work desk, bathroom drawers, and pantry. They are so sturdy and easy to clean. I will continue to purchase these as I organize my house!" — Kylie Manns Get a six-piece set from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in a 10-piece and 18-piece set). 18. An acrylic document organizer that'll keep all of your important papers right in front of you. Instead of rifling through a dull drawer of identical-looking folders, you'll know *exactly* where to find your hard copies! Amazon Promising review: "Gorgeous acrylic set. Love the horizontal layout for my desk. Looks beautiful with my acrylic desk organizer. My desk looks clean and clear now. These are the best-priced acrylic paper organizers I've found and I am very impressed." — Hannah Wolf Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in three sizes). 19. A Stojo collapsible travel cup because you can fold it up (into the size of a hockey puck) for easy carrying in your work bag and plop it out into its full form once you hit the coffee machine in the office. And unlike your stainless steel travel cups, you can *safely* put this in the microwave if your drink gets too cold. Check out a TikTok of the Stojo collapsible cup in action. Stojo is a small business that specializes in dishwasher-, microwave-safe storage and travel products with the goal of eliminating single-use plastics. Promising review:"I take my lunch to work and during midday I like to use the Keurig to brew a cup of coffee. The 12-ounce Stojo cup I purchased is very practical. It is thick and durable. The plastic collar enables you to hold the cup without squeezing it or burning your hands on the hot walls of the cup. There is enough volume in the cup to allow for the 12-ounce brew plus ample creamer. It's not a stainless vacuum cup, but it does hold its temperature better than your typical gas station or coffee shop cup. Plus you have the advantage of being able to reheat your drink in the microwave which you can't do with a stainless cup. — ViciousCycle Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes and 23 colors). 20. A pair of lightweight blue light–blocking glasses reviewers say can help with eye strain or headaches caused by staring at a screen all day — which is just the worst. This can help ease some of that discomfort so you can kick back and *fully* relax after a long day. Promising review: "I am not sure why everyone doesn't own blue light reducing glasses. These should be as essential as toilet paper. I spend my life on my laptop, phone, tablet (don't judge, I'm a student) and these have been a lifesaver. I can start writing a paper at 8 a.m. and stare at my screen until 8 p.m., getting nothing done but social media research, and my eyes aren't tired AT ALL!" — Valery Get a pack of two from Amazon for $13.98+ (available in eight two-packs). 21. A set of Monkey Noodles; they're the perfect fidget toy that's quiet, stretchy, and moves in any way you want it to. You can keep one in your bag, one at the office, and one at home so you always have something to help you focus and fidget with as you're doing busy work. Promising review: "This is my absolute favorite fidget! I'm an adult with autism and ADHD. I carry one around with me everywhere I go. It definitely assists me in staying calm/still while I'm at work. I've recommended it to several friends!" — KaelynnVP Get a set of five from Amazon for $12.99. 22. Plus the "Ono Roller" designed to help you relieve stress, anxiety, and tension by just rolling this little device in your hand. Reviewers say it helps them stay focused on tasks and avoid nervous habits like skin-picking, nail-biting, or hair-picking. Plus, it's super quiet (unlike clicking a pen), so your coworkers *won't* be rolling their eyes when you use this! Amazon, Ono is a small business specializing in compact, work-friendly fidgets for focus and stress relief. Promising review: "I have had ADHD since I was a small child, and this is the only thing I've ever found that helps me focus. It's quiet, durable, and keeps my mind occupied so I can focus (ADHD people will understand what I mean by that). A bit pricey, but worth every penny in my opinion!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $28+ (available in ten colors, various material options, and in a junior size for kids and people with smaller hands). 23. A mini cactus humidifier because offices can feel *unnaturally* dry and instead of trying to power through the day, just whip out this to give yourself some relief. It's very quiet, so you can have a soothing and calm office space — even when your inbox gets inundated with emails to respond to. Promising review: "I am in love with this little guy. It's easy to use and perfect for my cubicle at work. It's very quiet and easy to use. The only complaint I have so far is that plugging it in for the first time was very difficult and I was afraid I was going to break the chord. Once I got it in snugly it is no longer an issue. I can plug and unplug it easily now." — Leah Shock Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two styles). 24. A under-the-desk elliptical reviewers love because it helps them keep their energy up and improve circulation in their legs — all from the comfort of their desk. Plus it isn't super loud so you *can* use it during your important Zoom meetings too! It also comes with a digital display that tracks time, speed, and distance, as well as eight different modes of resistance, so you can tailor it exactly to your needs. Promising review:"No assembly required! Took right out of the box and put it under my desk. Spend long hours on the computer and suffer from hip and leg pain. Use the exerciser on and off all day especially first thing in the morning to loosen up joints. Felt the different in just a couple of days. Just what I needed." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $96.98+ (available in five styles). 25. Plus an under-the-desk electric treadmill if you can't find time to hit your 10,000 steps a day. The LED display will update your time, distance, and steps in real time *and* you can even use the Bluetooth remote control to play your favorite tunes in the process. The speed ranges from .5–6 miles per hour so you can walk out the nerves before presenting to your team! Promising review: "This thing is awesome. I'm a small, not technical person and managed to haul this thing up two flights of stairs (slowly), unbox, turn on and even connect my phone to the Bluetooth in it. No assembly. Simple instructions. Distance and time measurements seem to be accurate, but the 'calories' might be missing a decimal point. No squealing or groaning under my walking. Not too loud. Slides right under my bed. Didn't need to adjust the belt, though the tool to do so is included. Packaging says to oil every 30 hours. The remote is needed to make the treadmill function. It is extremely cheap — like dollar store cheap. I hope the company has a remote replacement for if/when the remote bites it. Even still, I would 100% buy this again. Great treadmill!" — Crowells Get it from Amazon for $289.99+ (available in four colors and also available in a mini size). 26. A rearview desk mirror that takes, "I've got eyes in the back of my head," to a wholeee new level. You'll be able to see everything without ever turning your head so your coworkers at the office or kids at home can't give you an accidental jumpscare when you're in the work groove. Promising review:"I have a home office, and when I'm working from home, I like to have the TV on for background noise. Every now and then I'll hear something that I'll want to see, and now I don't need to stop working to turn my chair around and see — just put this on the shelf that holds my monitor, and now I can just glance over and keep working. It clips on easily, adjusts easily (my cat will come up and rub against it putting it out of whack)." — Robin M. Padon Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three styles). 27. A portable Bluetooth retro-style keyboard — it connects to your phone, tablet, or computer, so you can bring the office with you wherever you go. It's not only pretty to look at but reviewers say it's good quality and satisfying to click. Promising review:"I've been seeing retro-style typewriter keyboards on TikTok for a while now. I aways thought, 'That looks pretty cool!' Decided to look on here and found this one. I just got it today and so far has been working great! I had no problems connecting the keyboard via Bluetooth, and the clicking of the keys is really nice, one of the reasons why I wanted to get this." — dee Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in nine colors). 28. A portable dual monitor reviewers say helps them work from *anywhere* and easily and quickly set up their WFH station. If you're working a little during a vacation, this can easily travel with you *and* still give you that two-screen view that's sooo much better to work off than just one measly screen. This is compatible with Mac, PC, and Chrome laptops between 13 and 17 inches, and attaches with device-safe metal plates. The magnetic pull is strong enough for you to take your laptop from room to room without undoing your setup, but also easy enough to remove that you can tuck everything into a backpack quickly when you're on the move. You can even rotate the display to your preferences, if you want it at an angle! Promising review:"I've been using the SideTrak for a week now and it has been an absolute game-changer for me. The instructions were easy to follow, and installation a breeze. The SideTrak was first whipped into action during a two-hour-long ride in my car as a passenger, and I was utterly impressed with how much I got done with ease, in that amount of time! Additionally, I've gotten a lot more use out of the SideTrak than I imagined — such as when I'm lounging in my backyard, kitchen, living room, pool... anywhere outside of the room in my office, the possibilities are endless! I'm all about efficiency and maximizing my time and the SideTrak has contributed largely in those areas. Thank you." — Ratana K. Get it from Amazon for $199.99 (available in two colors). 29. A foam footrest designed to maintain its shape so your legs, hips, and lower back are properly supported throughout the *whole* day. It has a non-slip bottom on the flat side so it stays in place, and you can use the curved side for a ~rocky~ footrest — perfect for anyone who loves to fidget. Amazon Promising review:"Perfect foot rest, soft and comfortable. I work 10-hour days in my home office and this keeps me in my chair and on the job. Prior to purchasing this foot rest I experienced foot discomfort while sitting at my desk. It has been eliminated." — Katie Vento Get it from Amazon for $41.95+ (available in four colors and two styles). 30. An electronics travel organizer with five elastic hoops, five mini pockets, and a larger zippered pocket so you can easily store (and organize) your cords, charging blocks, SD cards, and any other office essential for your job. Say goodbye to pulling out a tangly mess of charging cords from your bag every time you need to charge your devices! Promising review: "Such a simple thing that is so helpful. This is a soft-sided tech accessory travel case (probably useful for other things too). For me, it holds a MacBook power supply, mouse and mouse pad, various plus, cords and ear phones, all neatly and in place. Just so much better than my old system of everything in one bag. Bought one for my daughter too." — CaliKla Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in seven colors). 31. A transparent monitor attachment if you like using sticky notes but don't want them covering up precious real estate on your screen or leaving behind sticky residue. It'll help you stay on track with things you need to get done for the day and can even hold your phone as it charges. Amazon Each of the attachments has a sticky film that's strong enough to adhere it to your monitor, but easy enough to remove that it won't damage it. Promising review:"I have 568 stickies on any given day and this is exactly what I needed to keep myself organized. They came packaged nicely, no cracks or scratches, and was easy to adhere. The adhesive is awesome. It's not going anywhere!!! I recommend this to anyone like me who needs a cool place for their notes. You will be the envy of your coworkers!" — Mason's Mom Get it from Amazon for $7.97. 32. Aaaaaand a mini inflatable tube guy because you need SOMETHING that can make you smile a little when the third cup of coffee ain't doing the trick and you want it to be 5 p.m. already. I see this as more of a need than a want TBH. Promising review:"When I turn it on it always make everyone at the office laugh. We will take it and sit it on someone's desk when they are having a bad day and it always cheers them up." — dawn poythree Get it from Amazon for $11.66.

Anyone Who Hits Snooze Five Times On Work Days Needs These 34 Office-Improving Products

1. A HappyLight sunlamp designed to (artificially) produce the benefits of sunlight — like a better mood and regulated circadian rhythm — even if you're basically inside 24/7. Amazon Promising review:"I work from home at night. I never see the light of day during the winter. This light has been a joy to have and gives great light at my desk to work with with the benefit of mimicking sun exposure. It's very easy to use and to replace bulbs." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (clip the $10 off coupon on the product page for this price). 2.

I knocked out the project in record time and was able to move on to the next! The flavor is great and there's no energy crash or slump!" — Acacia Get a six-pack with nine pieces of gum each from Amazon for $24.99.

These come with a wireless charging case that provides up to 14 hours of charge (with the earbuds able to play for four-plus hours with each full charge). Promising review:"I work remotely and use these for all-day Zoom calls. I love the quality, comfortable fit, sound, and noise cancelling features. I will say the noise cancelling isn't 100% proof, but I'm not looking for that. I want to be able to hear around me in case someone in my house needs me." — Ali R. Get it from Amazon $18.99+ (available in five colors). 5. Plus a pair of Bluetooth-enabled noise-cancelling over-the-ear headphones because you want zero distractions while working.

Promising review:"I recently found the need for over the ear noise-cancelling Bluetooth headphones three days a week, four hours at a time. I needed them to be comfortable, possess strong noise cancelling capabilities, sound good and be of good quality without an exaggerated price. They sound great, are very comfortable for extended periods, pair easily with Apple products and the noise-cancelling capabilities are very good. The economical price makes these a tremendous value. I highly recommend l these even compared to the many models costing twice as much." — M. de La Torre Get it from Amazon for $43.55+ (available in four colors). 6.

An expanding file folder with tabs so you can ~aesthetically~ organize all your important paperwork, which will no doubt maximize your productivity during the workday. Plus, you'll feel like a boss for being on top of everything. Amazon, Promising review:"I bought this folder to keep our family documents organized and in one place. There are just the right amount of tabs for our birth certificates, passports, Social Security cards, car titles, will, etc. This folder is small enough that you can lock it in a home safe or safety deposit box. I let a couple of family members know where I keep this so that they can access it in case of an emergency. It is such a relief knowing that all these things are together and organized. I'm glad I bought this." — Katie Get it from Amazon for $5.78 (available in 12 colors). 8. A mini illuminated relaxation waterfall offering calm, soothing vibes, aka precisely what you need after a very stressful, very frustrating meeting with THAT boss or co-worker. Promising review:"Awesome addition to my workspace environment. I've tried several fountains so far. This one is awesome, the pump is quiet, as is the water, it simply provides a really nice environmental impact on my workspace. I run it up to eight hours in a day, use distilled water only and clean it periodically, and it's running just like new after several weeks. Not all of the fountains that I've tried work quite so well, I'm impressed and happy with this purchase." — Rod Get it from Amazon for $23.99. 9. A Bentgo stackable lunch container for anyone who's trying to save money by packing lunch for the office. This leakproof container has separate compartments for salad, fixings, and dressing or whatever kind of "Girl Dinner" charcuterie-esque lunch you put together. Amazon Promising review:"I absolutely love these salad containers. My fiancé and I have big appetites, but try to eat healthy. These containers fit a ton of salad greens and all sizes of toppings — nuts, beans, cheese, fruits, meats, pasta, etc. They make packing lunch easy. Just throw in some greens, a protein, a dressing, and toppings that make salad fun for you! We use ours several times per week and they make it to both our jobs without spilling or leaking. I walk and ride public transit, so mine gets tossed around a bit. Several of my friends and coworkers have bought them after seeing mine!" — izzo Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in eight colors). 10. An adorably encouraging daily planner designed to help you stay on top of things, both in and out of the office.

Not you. Each planner comes with 50 tear-off sheets the size of a standard piece of paper. Bliss Collections is a family-owned, Wisconsin-based business established in 2012 that specializes in stationery, planners and pads, and drinkware. Promising review:"These daily planning sheets keep this mama on TRACK! I started out printing daily planning and schedule sheets from a free download on my computer. Then I realized why not just buy some already printed so I save my ink at home. I found these and love how the day, schedule, tasks, and health habits are organized. I've already reordered once and will continue to use these." — Shannon Hoglund Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in three sizes and various styles). 11. A quirky flexible flower vase that allows you to bend and twist its various limbs to create all kinds of funky-but-adorable designs. Even if nothing else gets you excited to go in to work, this little bud just might. Promising review: "An affable, squishy, bendy, happy little vase! The consensus on my social media page is that everyone should have one of these. I finally got a chance to try it out with some daffodils, and really, it's hard not to smile when you see them." — Susy Lundy Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in three colors). 12. An affordable sunrise alarm clock so you won't feel like you're waking up in the middle of the night. This awakens you gently with a gradually brightening warm light, just like the rising sun. This can be programmed with seven different light settings, seven different calming "wake up" noises, and to start gradually lighting up at 30, 20, or 10 minutes before you wake. Promising review:"I got this recommendation from TikTok and it really has helped especially with Oregon winters where the sun is not out by the time the alarm rings. It has several peaceful alarm settings and even has night music to put you to sleep. The sunrise with the alarm piano is what I play to wake me up every morning and it is a way better way than to wake up to an annoying phone alarm." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $38.98+ (available in three colors). 13. A six-outlet wall charger featuring six outlets *and* two USB fast-charging ports because you've got several devices and can't risk them dying at inopportune say, during your Teams meeting or an important phone call with a client. Promising review:"Need something simple so I could plug in all the electronics at my desk. This is much nicer than just a standard power strip since it doesn't add any more cords to the chaos. Plugs are angled enough that they don't get in the way of you have several things plugged in. For reference I usually have my laptop charger, monitor, Google Home mini, lamp, and phone charger plugged in at any given point in time. Night-light is a nice addition." — Samantha Get it from Amazon for $17.97 (available in three colors and two styles). 14. A cold brew coffee maker to whip up cold, strong, and delicious coffee all on your own. Just stick your favorite ground coffee in the filter, screw on the lid, and let it ~brew~ overnight. Come morning, you'll have four cups of cold brew ready to enjoy at the office (just make sure you label it because folks might assume it's "for-the-office" coffee). Takeya is a small business that specializes in water bottles and pitchers. Promising review: "I purchased this to make cold brew coffee at the office. My coworkers and I were going to the local siren at least 3–4 times a week for our afternoon pick me up. It was starting to become a serious drain financially. We all chipped in to get this pitcher and take turns buying beans. Get them ground for a French press, or super coarse, and you'll have a pretty good replica. The instructions for making cold brew are pretty easy. We've seriously cut down our caffeine expenditures by 50%–75%. Now if we could figure out a way to order out less :)." — DT Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors). 15. A user-friendly hexagonal productivity timer since it just might help you be more productive during the day. It has six present countdown times, any of which you can start simply by flipping the timer on its side. There's even a "mute" mode if you don't want to disturb your coworkers.

A set of erasable pens so you can add some bright and bold COLOR to your work life, even if a mistake or two is probably inevitable. Bonus: these are compatible with the reusable Rocketbook notebook! Promising review:"These pens are freaking fantastic! For someone who can't spell to save her life, it helps that I can have the look and feel of a pen with the ability to correct my mistakes, without having to cross stuff out and have the whole thing look messy. They're super cute colors too!!" — Daniel Macaluso Get a set of seven from Amazon for $13.19+ (available with fine or extra fine tips). 17. A memory foam seat cushion because your backside needs some extra special support to make it through an entire day of sitting at your desk. Many reviewers say it significantly reduces back pain. Promising review:"A few weeks into working from home five days a week I started having a lot of hip/leg/back pain. In the early afternoons my lower back would start cramping. I did some research and bought this pillow and it immediately helped! What really drove me to write this review was that yesterday, unknowingly, I worked all day sitting on my chair without my cushion. I had removed it to use as a spare chair at my dinner table and forgot to put it back. At the end of the day hip was aching and I realized why! Today it's back on my chair and I'm already feeling better." — Lorene Get it from Amazon for $44.99 (available in five colors). 18. A pair of compression gloves that can help alleviate joint pain from arthritis, tendonitis, and carpal tunnel, any of which could be the reason your hands and wrists absolutely ache when you type on the computer. ComfyBrace is a small business that specializes in pain-relieving compression products. Promising review: "This glove (I wore only right side) worked very well for the post-surgery nerve pain. After the surgery, I had the nerve pain on my right index finger and could not focus during work. The combination of this glove and small hand warmers helped me feel less pain for six weeks. It dries quickly after washing, too. I strongly recommend this product." — TJ Get a pair from Amazon for $9.97 (available in four sizes). 19. A Petcube pet monitoring camera since the hardest part of going to the office is having to leave your precious furbabies home alone. This has a wide angle and night vision, so you can always see what they're up to, but better yet, the two-way audio lets you talk to them from afar, too. They have one with a built-in treat dispenser if you want more remotely-controlled fun! Amazon Petcube is a California-based small business established in 2012 that specializes in interactive HD pet camera products. It's also app enabled and can send you instant notifications, sync with Amazon Alexa, and even access a vet on demand if you notice any weird behaviors. Promising review:"Unbeatable for the money. I needed a way to keep an eye on a new 4-month-old puppy who keeps digging holes in my yard. I didn't expect a lot for $39 but I was pleasantly surprised. The video is quick to get started and very clear, zoom is quick, and the night vision actually works. I haven't used any of the other features yet but these alone make this a great value! Far exceeding what I expected." — Rick Grisham Get it from Amazon for $31.99 (Get the treats-dispensing Petcube Bites 2 for $79.99). 20. A handy under-the-desk headphone mount and USB charger so you can store your headphones out of the way and declutter all the charging cords scattered about your desk. Promising review:"Simple straightforward product. Easy to mount and run wires to a power source. Works awesome under my standing desk and adds additional USB support for my gear." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two styles). 21. Plus an under-the-desk phone holder because even just a quick glance at your phone somehow turns into endless scrolling on like a moth flying into the light; you can't help it. The only solution is to keep your phone out-of-sight and therefore out-of-mind. Beyond 3D Creations is an Massachusetts-based Etsy shop established in 2020 that specializes in 3D-printed desk accessories. Promising review:"This is definitely a hit! Now I'm so used to reaching my phone from this holder without looking down at my desk, and my screentime has decreased a lot during day time. This really helps in terms of being more efficient so that I can finish my work early and get more me time back at the end of the day. Highly recommend it if you want to be less distracted while working!" — Shelby Cedrone Get it from Beyond 3D Creations on Etsy for $11.88+ (available in six colors, custom sizing available). 22. A convertible standing desk riser if you don't necessarily want to invest in a sit/stand desk but still want the flexibility to change up your work position. It's a great way to get the blood flowing, which just might lead to new ideas and innvotion! Tech Orbits is a small business that specializes in desk converters and office accessories. Promising review: "I've been looking at these for months and finally decided to buy one. Super happy with my purchase. I didn't want to replace my entire work desk so I opted for this. The entire unit slides up and down easily. Plenty of room around the monitor for speakers, pens, notes, even a fan. easily assembly. Not too heavy. I've really enjoyed being able to stand at my desk. I've been struggling with lower back pain and standing more seems to be helping. I find myself wanting to stand more often than I thought." — halaly Get it from Amazon for $119.99+ (available in three colors and four styles). 23. And an investment-worthy standing desk anti-fatigue mat for anyone who *does* decide to work on their feet. This one is specifically designed for #officelife with an ergonomic, cushioned terrain that adjusts to subtle shifts in foot placement and helps encourage small movements to stetch and massage the feet throughout the day. Amazon ErgoDriven is a US-based small business specializing in workplace ergonomics. Promising review:"Really nice mat, helps with leg and back fatigue. I stand up 50 percent of the time at my desk and I can feel the difference in the two weeks I've had this product. It seems to have the right balance of comfort and support. It is a little pricey compared to other brands, but it is very solidly made and it appears it will last a long time. Worth the extra money, in my opinion." — Jeff Get it from Amazon for $99+ (available in three colors). Psst — you can check out a mini version for more compact spaces for $69 on Amazon! 24. A Stojo collapsible travel cup that's ~practically perfect in every way~...well, at least for the office worker. It keeps drinks insulated and warm but can also be reheated in the microwave should your coffee get cold after an unneccessarily long meeting. Check out a TikTok of the Stojo collapsible cup in action. Stojo is a small business that specializes in dishwasher-, microwave-safe storage and travel products with the goal of eliminating single-use plastics. Promising review:"I take my lunch to work and during midday I like to use the Keurig to brew a cup of coffee. The 12-ounce Stojo cup I purchased is very practical. It is thick and durable. The plastic collar enables you to hold the cup without squeezing it or burning your hands on the hot walls of the cup. There is enough volume in the cup to allow for the 12-ounce brew plus ample creamer. It's not a stainless vacuum cup, but it does hold its temperature better than your typical gas station or coffee shop cup. Plus you have the advantage of being able to reheat your drink in the microwave which you can't do with a stainless cup. — ViciousCycle Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in five sizes/styles and 26 colors). 25. A dimmable sad duck nightlight to give you a good chuckle (or perhaps a ~quackle~) when you're feeling a bit overwhelmed at work yourself — at least you're doing better than this lil' bud! Amazon Promising review:"I got this lil' guy to illuminate my desk when our office started getting dark around 4 PM. I have gotten SO many compliments on him. People love the fact that he's squishy, and that his little legs are floppy. And, of course, how can you beat the thousand-yard-stare of this little duck who has clearly given up on everything? The battery life is so-so, but luckily the USB-C port is the same as my laptop charger, so I can just charge it on my desk during the day, and turn it on in the afternoon/evening. He's a squishy, depressed duck. What's not to love?" — Caitlyn Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in three styles). 26. A pair of blue light–blocking glasses if your eyes start to feel a bit 😵‍💫 by the end of the day. These work to help alleviate eye strain and even headaches caused by staring at screens constantly (and sadly, it's not just your computer screen creating issues but also your phone, tablet, and TV screens). Promising review:"I am not sure why everyone doesn't own blue light reducing glasses. These should be as essential as toilet paper. I spend my life on my laptop, phone, tablet (don't judge, I'm a student) and these have been a lifesaver. I can start writing a paper at 8 a.m. and stare at my screen until 8 p.m., getting nothing done but social media research, and my eyes aren't tired AT ALL!" — Valery Get a pack of two from Amazon for $15.98 (available in eight color sets). 27. A set of Monkey Noodles because it turns out toys aren't just fun for kids but also for stressed-out adult office workers! You can stretch, pull, twirl, whirl, wrap, and squeeze these silly sensory toys to your heart's delight and hopefully work out any frustration or anxiety in the process. Promising review:"This is my absolute favorite fidget! I'm an adult with autism and ADHD. I carry one around with me everywhere I go. It definitely assists me in staying calm/still while I'm at work. I've recommended it to several friends!" — KaelynnVP Get a set of five from Amazon for $12.99. 28. Plus the "Ono Roller," which is an adult-geared fidget toy meant to stimulate focus and reduce anxiety through its smooth, quiet rolling.

Promising review: "I have had ADHD since I was a small child, and this is the only thing I've ever found that helps me focus. It's quiet, durable, and keeps my mind occupied so I can focus (ADHD people will understand what I mean by that). A bit pricey, but worth every penny in my opinion!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in 10 colors and various sizes, including a junior size for kids and people with smaller hands). 29. A teeny-tiny portable cactus humidifier that's not only adorable as desktop decor but also keeps the air moist and hydrating. Plus, it connects via USB so you can easily plug it in directly to your computer or a nearby phone charger! Amazon Promising review:"I LOVE these little humidifiers! I bought my first one to use at my desk at work, because the air is so dry in the building, and it has been a godsend. Not only does it help keep my sinuses happier, but it looks great too. I bought a second one for my nightstand that I use while I sleep at night, and they both work perfectly." — Selene Schneider Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 30. A low-impact under-the-desk elliptical to help you get your steps in as you answer a bajillion emails. Multi-tasking, we love to see it. It also comes with a digital display that tracks time, speed, and distance, as well as eight different modes of resistance, so you can tailor it exactly to your needs. Promising review:"No assembly required! Took right out of the box and put it under my desk. Spend long hours on the computer and suffer from hip and leg pain. Use the exerciser on and off all day especially first thing in the morning to loosen up joints. Felt the different in just a couple of days. Just what I needed." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $96.99+ (available in five styles). 32. An adjustable foam footrest since it's a simple and affordable way to improve hip, leg, and lower back pain often caused from sitting at a desk. Plus! It flips over to act as a rocking footrest, which is a real gift for super fidgety folks. Amazon Promising review:"Perfect foot rest, soft and comfortable. I work 10-hour days in my home office and this keeps me in my chair and on the job. Prior to purchasing this foot rest I experienced foot discomfort while sitting at my desk. It has been eliminated." — Katie Vento Get it from Amazon for $39.95+ (available in five colors and two styles). 33. A transparent monitor attachment you can attach all your sticky notes to, which will help clear up the clutter on your workspace *and* keep your notes directly in eyesight. Amazon Each of the attachments has a sticky film that's strong enough to adhere it to your monitor, but easy enough to remove that it won't damage it. Promising review:"I have 568 stickies on any given day, and this is exactly what I needed to keep myself organized. They came packaged nicely, had no cracks or scratches, and were easy to adhere to. The adhesive is awesome. It's not going anywhere!!! I recommend this to anyone like me who needs a cool place for their notes. You will be the envy of your coworkers!" — Avid Dancer Get it from Amazon for $5.97. 34. A sophisticated laptop tote bag because clunky backpacks are out and stylish, spacious totes are in. And like any good purse, it fits way more than it rightfully should: laptop, phone, charger, wallet, book, small water bottle, keys, and all those other-random-things-you-have-to-bring-with-you. Promising review: "It's much more spacious than it looks. It's very sleek and stylish. I use it as my work bag and I find that it looks professional and has enough space for all of my stuff. I carry a laptop, pencil case, two books, makeup bag, water bottle, wallet, lotion, phone and laptop charger, and other small miscellaneous objects. Still plenty of space. And when you see carry it, it doesn't feel bulky or cumbersome. The bag does sag a bit after use. But has held up to wear and tear. I would recommend." — Su Get it from Amazon for $34.86 (available in nine styles). Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.
