1. A six-outlet wall charger designed to house larger chargers as well as USBs (and those ports offer fast-charging). It even functions as a night-light if you tend to work into the wee hours.
Promising review: "Love this. I have many items to plug in now that I have to office at home. There’s plenty of room to plug in two laptops, a computer, a monitor and my Alexa safely. It’s a little bulkier than I was expecting but that is due to the room your items will need." —Jennifer
Get it from Amazon for $17.97+ (available in two styles).
2. A silicone keyboard cover that'll not only add a splash of color to your work space, but will also help prevent crumbs and dirt from getting in between your keys.
Promising review: "I love this keyboard cover. It has a nice feeling, is very flexible, and it fits like a glove on my MacBook Air. It doesn't come off even when I'm moving my laptop around a lot (which I do, since I do a lot of work on the sofa or the bed where I end up in weird positions to be comfortable). I can feel each key individually when I hit them, which is really nice. I also type a lot due to work and school, as well as simply writing in my free time, and this cover has held up the entire time. I haven't seen any signs of wear or even fading in the six months I've had it. This is a very durable keyboard — I eat with my laptop all the time, and I've actually spilled coffee on my keyboard once, and nothing happened — it actually kind of kept the liquid there until I could clean it off. I would definitely buy this again if I needed another color." —Sadia Rahman
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in 29 colors).
3. An armless desk chair so you can easily sit crisscross applesauce while you work.
Promising review: "As someone with chronic back problems, I was looking for an ergonomic chair that was supportive, comfortable, and cute. This chair checks ALL the boxes. Easy assembly and my butt doesn’t hurt after sitting for three hours anymore. My WFH essential." —Gabby
Get it from Amazon for $109.99+ (available in four colors).
4. Cleaning putty gel for getting into the cracks of your keyboard where McDonald's crumbs fell and started their own society. You can also use this as a duster for all your screens.
Promising review: "I used this both to clean vents in my car AND the computer keyboard. I was amazed at how much dirt it removed from each surface, and at how cleanly it peeled off. For the computer, just using canned air or cotton swabs and cleaner always seems like pushing gunk around, not actually removing it — this did a much better job. It was also great for cleaning the very hard to reach crevices in one of our AC window units. Totally worth the money and very satisfying (albeit a little frightening when you see the dirt!) to use." —CT
Get it from Amazon for $6.88+ (available in three colors).
5. A fun caterpillar cord organizer to help keep your work space organized since all of your devices's charger cords are currently tangled in an impossible knot.
Promising review: "He is perfect and pure and good and has never done anything wrong in his whole life. Somehow at least like 53 times cuter in person??? Also does a great job holding all my cables because of course he does. 10/10 would buy this good good boy again." —Jennii
Get it from Amazon for $5.
6. An angled glass dry-erase desktop whiteboard that'll fit right between your monitor and keyboard so you can easily take notes while you work.
Promising review: "Never thought something analog would be SO useful in my daily routine. I work from home and am constantly project managing multiple complex strategic projects. Having pertinent information directly in front of me and top of mind has done incredible things for my productivity. Never would have imagined it would make such a difference. For a nominal investment, I highly recommend it if you have trouble keeping up with things." —Captainflapjax
Get it from Amazon for $22.26+ (available in five designs).
7. A Bluetooth speakerphone because you shouldn't have to rely on your computer's grainy speakers to hear your manager during your one-on-one Zoom meetings. This conference speaker has enhanced noise reduction so you won't have to ask "What was that you said?" a million times.
8. A charging station with six USB ports so you can make sure your phone, laptop, tablet, and other tech gadgets don't all die on you.
Promising review: "Charges multiple things at once without having long cords everywhere. Works perfectly. Plus each section lights up when charging, and when they are fully charged the light shuts off." —Jessica LeGate
Get it from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in three colors and in a smaller four-port version).
9. A rotating timer if you need a little external help to meet your deadlines. Simply start and stop the clock by turning it! Because the sooner you get your work done, the sooner you can have fun.
Promising review: "I seriously want to rave about this timer / clock. It's the funkiest most awesome clock and timer. I bought it to specifically GET MY KIDS OUT OF THE HOUSE TO SCHOOL ON TIME. They consistently won't be ready every morning without me hollering 10 minutes! Five minutes! If I missed these call outs, no one was ready on time. Now, the alarm goes off and they know what that means. I flip the hexagon to 15 minutes then beep beep beep! It's loud but not obnoxious and everyone can hear it from the bedroom. Flip again for five more minutes. When it goes off again, I'm going for my keys. Better be ready, kiddos! LIFE IS BETTER with my ZNEWTECH HEXAGON DIGITAL Timer & Alarm!!!!" —77Keys
Check out my coworker's hexagonal productivity timer review for more on how she uses this to get more done and help the day go by faster.
Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in 30- and 60-minute styles and in six colors).
10. A memory foam chair cushion that'll turn any chair into a comfy office chair. It may help relieve lower back and joint pain as well as tushy discomfort, and potentially help improve your posture.
Promising review: "First of all, I sit for hours at a time for, and I always complain about my back or bottom hurting. Well, once I started sitting on this memory foam cushion, I noticed a difference right away. And I was still comfortable sitting after a few hours. The cushion is large and fits my entire chair seat. I am happy it works and is large enough for all of me!! The cushion also has a zipper on back so the cover can be removed and washed." —AkaPurple
Get it from Amazon for $47.99 (available in five colors).
11. A ceramic mug warmer because you've been getting up to heat that same cup of coffee in the microwave since this morning and it just *doesn't* have to be like that.
Promising review: "I'm a very slow tea/coffee drinker, so having this mini hot plate is amazing. I can have hot tea until the last sip! Life-changing. I use it every day. I'm using it as I write this review. I drink more tea because I know it won't get cold and sad. My roommates all want one now." —PDT
Get it from Amazon for $17.60.
12. A portable home office equipped with a dry erase board and LED conference lighting so you can take work anywhere you wish. That means you can easily break down your work station at the end of the day and even hide it away.

Promising review: "Don't know how I worked from home without it! Reduces so much clutter from my usual kitchen table setup. Absolutely changed the game for me and helps keep me organized." —Jake Duneier
Get it from Amazon for $99.99.
13. A portable dual monitor you can attach to your laptop if you need more than one screen to tackle your latest Excel project.
This is compatible with Mac, PC, and Chrome laptops between 13 and 17 inches, and attaches with device-safe metal plates.
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 2-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 $299.99 (available in black and silver).
14. A pack of six squishy Crayola fidget balls that you can stack, stick, or sling when you're feeling a lil' stressed while working from home! The best part is the balls won't leave behind any residue. Whether they're being used as stress balls or as a temporary wall ornament, these fidget balls are a ton of fun!
And when the balls lose their stickiness, just clean them up with soap and water for them to feel like new again!
Promising review: "As an adult with ADHD, I was never particularly attracted to the typical fidget devices. But I've always loved sticky textures (remember those stick hands we used to play with?) and these fit perfectly in my palm, so I can roll and squeeze it all day while working, watching, or playing." —A
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a pack of 16).
15. An electric standing desk — just because you're WFH doesn't mean you can't stay active. Get your steps in while you work with this adjustable workspace!

Get it from Amazon for $159.99+ (available in five sizes and six colors).
16. And a cushy anti-fatigue mat if standing at your desk all day is great for your back but stressful for your knees. Its soft foam core can help keep your muscles and joints at ease so you can comfortably stand for hours at a time.
Promising review: "This mat was woven by angels, sculpted by the reanimated corpse of Michelangelo, and sealed with Superman's laser vision. When I stood upon it, my feet no longer felt attached to my body. My physical form carried no weight. There was the sensation of floating, my body effortlessly held upright by the essence of time and space...Nice mat. Very comfortable. Well worth the money." —JOE K
Get it from Amazon for $36.01+ (available in 3 sizes and in 15 colors/patterns).

19. A set of six velvety matte black ink gel pens that'll help make taking notes and making to-do lists feel a bit more fun this spring.
Promising review: "I loooove pens and these are my new fave. Writes nice and smooth. Fine point and doesn't smear or bleed. Will be getting more soon because I am sure they will 'grow legs' at work and end up elsewhere!" —Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $8.57+ (available in three color combinations).
20. A wear-resistant adjustable wood shelf perfect for keeping a mini library of your favorite books on your desk. Or use it to organize your folders and files so everything is within arm's reach!
Promising review: "I needed some extra shelf space for my home office, especially now that we are working from home for the rest of the year. This was so so simple to set up and holds everything I need without any issues. You can also assemble it as you please which is a great feature!" —TanzA
Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in six colors).
21. A sturdy phone holder so you can multitask with the best of them! Take work calls on your phone while you scroll through emails and Excel sheets on your laptop.
This holder also has grippy pads on the bottom so it doesn't slide around or scratch your desk!
Promising review: "I bought this for all of the Zoom meetings I was conducting at home. It works great! It’s very sturdy and allows me a good angle when speaking to clients. Would recommend." —Amazon Customer

This also makes sure that your air-conditioning and/or heat doesn't escape under your doors!
Promising review: "This product works really well! I needed a quick fix to my home office situation. I live in an apartment in Manhattan and never noticed how much sound comes in and out, until I had to be on conference calls working from home! This little tape made a big difference, took me a couple of minutes to install." —Sandra Hernandez
Get it from Amazon for $7.97+ (available in two lengths and four colors).
23. A pair of incredibly soft Loop noise-reduction earplugs if the sounds coming from outside are a little too distracting/annoying. These flexible silicone earplugs will help you concentrate on the task at hand.
Promising review: "I struggle with anxiety and ADHD and I find myself frequently sensitive to sounds. Things were especially difficult with the kids home working on school while I was trying to work from home. Not only have these been fabulous throughout the day but holy cow are they a lifesaver at night! My husband snores, and I have tried multiple pairs of ear plugs, sleep masks with little speakers in them…list goes on. These are extremely comfortable to sleep in. They cut the sounds of the snores down to manageable and sleep-able level without cutting off all sound. If one of our children comes in the room, phone rings, etc. I can still hear and remain safe. They are not noise cancelling, they are noise reducing. They are so reasonably priced that I have a pair next to my bed, on my desk, and in my cars. Highly highly recommend!!!" —Christina
Get it from Amazon for $24.95 (available in nine colors).
24. A whimsical wireless keyboard and mouse set because clickety-clacking away on emails all day can be made a little more fun with this colorful set. It even features typewriter-inspired round keys for a bit of a vintage flair.
The set includes a wireless keyboard and a wireless mouse with a USB receiver. Pick up some AA batteries — both will need them!
Promising review: "So, I just transitioned to work from home and wanted a cool keyboard for my new workspace. I tried two others, and they worked but I wasn’t 100% happy with the style, shape, nor color. A friend showed me her keyboard, and I fell in love with it. Hers was the pink/colorful option. I immediately went on Amazon and found the purple/lilac color and ordered. I received it today, and I’m so pleased. I love hearing the click-clack sound of keys being hit with my nails, and the weight of the keyboard is nice and heavy — it feels well made. I’m still getting used to the mouse (it’s a wider shape then I’m used to) but it works and matches my keyboard. Now if only I could find a purple monitor, LOL. I highly recommend this keyboard. Happy typing!" —Kimberly Renee
Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in 11 colors).
25. An ergonomic under-the-desk elliptical so you can work out as you work! You might just convince yourself that you're on a Hot Girl Walk. It also comes with a downloadable app that tracks your growth.
Promising review: "When I purchased this I thought it was a bit pricey but I needed something to keep me moving, being quite sedentary. I am thrilled! It's way beyond my expectations! I have used it 2–4 hours every day, sitting in a chair and watching TV. In a four-hour shift I have gone 14,000 strides and burned 400 calories. I also feel better and am more interested in other activities! In my opinion this is an excellent product and just what I needed!"—Sheila K.
Get it from Amazon for $199.99.

26. A memory foam under-desk footrest for super soft 'n' cushy relief in the middle of your busy work day. It's also adjustable and convertible, so you can fully customize it to meet your specific comfort needs.
Promising review: "Freaking love this thing! I have to sit for like 8–10 hours a day right now in the early years of med school and it’s been a game changer for my back! I mostly use it upside down so I can rock my feet back and forth but I like the soft side, too, when I’m trying to sit still. Highly recommend if you have a sore tailbone at the end of a long work/study day." —Bails
Get it from Amazon for $39.95+ (available in velvet or mesh and in three colors).
Head over to our list of the best under-desk footrests to see some other styles!
27. An under-the-desk foot hammock you can rest your feet on while you figure out which of your 514 unread emails to deal with first (I say mark them all as read).
Promising review: "This is one of the best footrest products that I have seen. It keeps me relaxed and comfortable in a sitting position, especially if I've been sitting for too long in cars, planes, or on my couch." —YangTingting
Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in three colors).
28. A pair of webcam covers so now you can be sure no one's watching you eat Froot Loops in your pajamas during your All Hands meeting. You deserve to feel comfy while you work, especially if you can't be at the beach like you dreamed about.
Promising reviews: "I use this for my work computer in case Zoom defaults to camera on by accident. When the camera cover is on, the video screen is completely black." —Elanah
"What a simple, useful product! It was easy to put on my computer and I feel much more secure knowing someone can't access my video without my knowing." —quilterldy
Get them from Amazon for $6.99 (available in four colors).

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in four colors).
30. A cushioned lap desk with a built-in mouse pad and phone slot to help you comfortably get work done from the bed, couch, or armchair you're using as an office.
Promising review: "This is awesome and exactly what I was looking for. It is super comfortable to use in bed and in the recliner that I typically write from. I am a writer who primarily sits with my laptop directly in my lap, and this is perfect for my needs. It has a slot for my phone, but I could also prop some pens, a small pad, or other various items in there depending on what I needed. The mousepad area is great." —birchwood29
Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in six colors and with a wrist rest).
31. A cute and slim vertical laptop holder for storing your laptop when your work day is done.
32. A pair of sliding under-desk drawers that are ideal if you need some extra storage space (and are especially ideal if your WFH space is less of a "desk" and more of a "table where you put your laptop").
Promising review: "This product works exactly as I'd hoped and is now neatly under my desk without taking up so much room that I bump it or knock it off when I sit down. Adhesive stuck on easily and feels very sturdy. Remember to be realistic in terms of the weight of objects you put in these drawers (i.e. don't fill it with heavy items and then get upset when the adhesive wears down quickly). Pens, paperclips, Post-its, earbuds, and scissors all fit in mine and I will definitely buy these again for our other desks." —Shopping Mama
Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes and two colors).

Talk to your provider about seasonal depression and whether this light box is right for you. Learn more about choosing a light box from the Cleveland 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 $59.99.
34. A privacy sign with three messages you can share with the outside world to let them know whether you're open to having guests interrupt your workflow.
Promising review: "I work from home, and if you do too you may also encounter this odd scenario: Merely closing the door to one’s office is not actually a reliable method to let others know you are working. I can’t say enough good things about this sign. It is a far better design and quality than expected at this price point. The sign is a dial style and really sturdy. The dial even has a click-in-place feature to prevent your status from accidentally moving when the door swings shut. Gone are the days of people thinking you’re available when you’re not! Well, at least you have forewarned them! I am extremely happy with the sign, and can recommend it to anyone who might need a little extra assistance in deterring work interruptions!" —Conscious Consumer
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two colors).
35. An ergonomic balance ball chair for keeping your body moving throughout the workday, because an engaged body leads to an engaged (and productive) mind.
Promising review: "This is the BEST desk chair (for me). I was skeptical, but it really is comfortable. You're not actually shifting around like I imagined you would be doing. It is so slight that you do not even notice it. After sitting at my desk for several hours, I can really feel my glutes and hamstrings, so I know that I am working those muscles as I am sitting. Comfortable and also great for doing stretches on. I find myself kind of bouncing around on it from time to time. I love the fun green color and plan on putting some 'alien eyes' on the back of it to make it look like an alien. 10/10 would recommend again. I'm not being paid for this review, I just really love this chair." –C.Cashon
Get it from Amazon for $69.98+ (available in four colors).
36. A selfie ring light and tripod that can be used on your desk or floor depending on whether you're working at a sitting or standing desk. Plus, there's a built-in phone holder if you're a rising Zoom star and need quality video. Oh, and it comes with a selfie stick.
Promising review: “I loved the remote ! It was a pleasant surprise because I did not remember reading that it came with a remote. As a content creator this is going to make my recording so much easier! The brightness on all three colors is amazing! If you record videos or do makeup or anything that would require a ring light I highly recommend.” —Kalisha Johnson
