Work From Home Gift Ideas: Desk Gifts for Remote Workers
A home office is a personal space, which makes it a good place for a thoughtful gift. The best work from home gifts are small, useful and a little bit funny, because they live on a desk every day. Here are ideas for remote workers, grouped by where they will use them.
For the desk
- Make Today Beautiful mouse pad ($12.99): a 9 by 8 inch rectangle with a thin 1/16 inch profile, a smooth surface and a non-slip rubber base. To clean it, spot-clean with warm water and dish soap.
- Beauty in Becoming journal ($19.99): 150 lined pages for to-do lists and notes.
- Create Your Own Sunshine sticker ($3.99 to $7.99): a small, cheerful add-on for a laptop lid.
For the coffee break
- Keep Your Light ceramic mug ($15.99 to $20.99): microwave-safe and dishwasher-safe, so reheating a cold cup is easy.
- Choose Progress Over Perfection tumbler ($36.99): vacuum-insulated, with a push-on lid that helps minimize spills near a keyboard.
For the tech-minded
These line-art tees are a quiet joke about the tools of remote work, and most sizes sit between about $17 and $32:
- Keyboard Outline tee: for the person who types all day.
- Computer Mouse tee: a simple graphic for the person never far from their mouse.
- Webcam Outline tee: for the video-call regular.
- External Hard Drive tee: for the person who backs everything up.
- Minimal Tech Stack tee: a line-art gadget lineup.
For the cold-office days
Working from home often means a chilly room. A plush blanket ($25.99 to $51.99) over the shoulders or a fleece hoodie ($48.99) keeps the thermostat debate away.
