Work from Home Tools That I Adore
16
items When you stare at screens all day, the little things matter. These are tools and comforts I use as a writer and editor to stay focused, reduce strain, and make the workday a little more doable.
If you’re spending long hours at your desk, this chair earns its keep. The SmartLayers cushioning, memory foam over ComfortCoils, actually makes a difference, especially if you need extra support. It adjusts easily, including the arms, recline tensio...
Serta SmartLayers Everett Big & Tall Ergonomic Vegan Leather Office Chair, Taupe/Dark Gray
This is one of those little things that quietly makes your desk feel more put together. The mini succulent design is sweet but not too cutesy, and the acrylic holder keeps everything neat and within reach. I keep mine next to my computer for quick no...
Mini Succulents Notes in a Cube – 400 Personalized Sheets in Acrylic Holder
I got this for a small desk setup and was honestly surprised by how much it packed into one lamp. Between the pen holder, phone stand, USB charger, and flexible gooseneck, it’s doing a lot without taking up much space. I like being able to switch fro...
23'' Desk Lamp with USB, Outlet, Phone Mount & Pen Holder – Flexible Gooseneck Light for Dorm, Office or Bedroom
Technically not a tool, but hear me out. Seeing yourself in something beautiful during your midday reset helps. It’s grounding. It turns the corner of your workspace into something you want to come back to.
The Gleaming Primrose Vanity Mirror
I prefer calendars without the guilt of a missed day. This one’s clean, simple, and lets me reset anytime I need to. And the embroidery is absolutely stunning.
Embroidered Undated Desk Top Calendar
One less cord on my desk. Charges my mouse and my phone while I’m working and gives me a smooth surface to scroll through edits and emails.
Wireless Charging Mouse Pad
Compact enough for a home workspace, but still handles scanning, printing, and copying like a champ. Easy to set up, and I can finally stop bugging the husband to print things.
HP DeskJet 4255e Wireless All-in-One Color Printer Scanner Copier with Instant Ink and HP+ (588S6A)
Great for dividing up the sock drawer or corralling office supplies. The shape makes everything easy to see and harder to ignore (in a good way).
Anadia Desk Drawer Organizer Set
Editing in comfort mode? This lives on the back of my chair and gets pulled down daily. Warm but breathable, and doesn’t shed.
Manhattan Tawny Fox Throw
These ceramic bookends are such a fun way to add weight and style to a shelf. The pouch design is playful without being too cutesy, and the glossy finish gives them a polished look. They're heavy enough to actually hold books in place (even the overs...
Ceramic 6" Pouch Bookends – Joss & Main
This kettle is my go-to for pour-over days. It heats fast (about four minutes), pours smooth and steady, and the gooseneck spout gives you way more control than a regular kettle. I like that the inside is all stainless steel—no weird plastic taste sn...
Ulalov Electric Gooseneck Kettle 1L Matte Black
This diffuser is compact but surprisingly powerful. I like that I can screw my essential oil bottle directly into the unit—no messy refilling every time. It’s small enough to move from room to room and has enough settings to control how strong the sc...
Balsam Hill Scents of the Season Diffuser
For whatever reason—maybe there’s some science behind it—the smell of a pine tree makes my editing more efficient. This set gives me that crisp, just-cut-Christmas-tree scent without having to light a candle or plug anything in. Each cartridge screws...
Holiday Scents of the Season Cartridge Set – Fresh Cut Evergreen
I didn’t realize how much I needed this until I set it up. The wood finish actually looks nice on my desk, and the adjustable arms let me angle the monitors just right without crowding everything else. I’ve got two monitors and a laptop on mine, with...
Dual Monitor Stand Riser with Adjustable Length and Storage – Rust Brown Wood
I wanted something that felt polished without being too formal—and this bag pulls it off. The leather has a soft, matte finish that doesn’t scuff easily, and the stitching and zipper details give it a higher-end feel. My favorite feature is the water...
LOVEVOOK Leather Laptop Tote 15.6" w/ Cup Holder
These are the slippers I didn’t know I needed until I put them on. They’re backless but don’t flop, structured but still soft. The layered support (memory foam + gel + EVA) makes a difference when you’re on your feet at home all day. I especially lik...
Bombas Women's Nest Slipper – Supportive, Backless House Slipper with Multi-Layer Cushion
