I'll never go back to working out of the house again - but working from home means my setup has to be sweet. That means not just a cute office, but also the best of the best technology and a strong ergonomic desk setup. These are my picks after almost three years of working from home. Pro tip? Ask your company if they have a work from home stipend to support your setup costs.

You know that thing where you set your phone on the charger half-asleep, wake up at 6am, and it's at 11% because it wasn't aligned right? Yeah, that kept happening to me. This list is for anyone who charges their phone on a nightstand in the dark and needs it to just work without thinking about it. Took me four chargers and a lot of dead-battery mornings to land on these.

These are the products I use as a content creator / streamer! I also work for a media company and do live interviews. You don't need anything super expensive to start out with, upgrade as you start to monetize your content.

My phone had 47,000 photos, my inbox was at 12,389 unread, and my laptop fan sounded like a jet engine from all the junk files. If you're the person who screenshots everything, never deletes an app, and has 200 browser tabs open right now, this is the cleanup kit I wish I had two years ago. Most of these cost less than the storage upgrade you keep paying for monthly.

My windshield looked like an octopus had been living on it. Every suction cup mount I tried left rings, residue, or just fell off in the summer heat. If you're tired of scraping gunk off your dash and windshield, this is the lineup that actually sticks without leaving evidence. Took me two years and way too many returns to figure this out.

i upgraded my vlog set-up end-to-end last year and it's been one of the best investments i've made for one of my favorite activities. here's everything i use to vlog on YouTube, IG, TikTok!

Spent two summers killing speakers with pool splashes and rain before I figured out what actually survives outside. If you're tired of babying electronics that claim to be ‘water resistant’ but die the first time your kid cannonballs nearby — this is the lineup that's been living on my patio since last April. Saved you the expensive trial and error.

Free and low-cost AI tools I use to write, design, research, plan content, and save time as a busy mom and small-business owner.

Everything here runs on one Higgsfield account: photo and video swaps, whole-character swaps, headshots, outfit try-ons and photo effects.A few limits apply to every face swap app on this list. You need an account; there's no version without sign-up. Each swap handles one face, so a group photo takes one swap per person. Commercial use comes with paid plans.

Lost a monitor, a PS5, and a router in one thunderstorm because I thought a cheap power strip was enough. Spent the next month researching what actually protects electronics versus what just looks like it does. If you've got expensive gear plugged into a $6 strip from 2017, maybe don't wait for the storm I got.

Thinking of content creation but don't know where to start? Here are a few of the things that I use in my content and some things I've seen used in content that work well and look great!

Being a medical student has taught me to study smarter, not harder and these are some of the tools that have made my life easier and made the overall workload lighter.

Working from home in Central Florida means a setup that keeps me comfortable through long, hot afternoons at the desk. After a lot of trial and error, these are the pieces that actually improved my posture, focus, and video-call quality without turning my home office into a cluttered mess.

Finding audio gear that sounds good without being complicated is honestly underrated. I’ve tried setups that needed endless tweaking, and it quickly became exhausting—especially when you just want to record and get things done. That’s why I appreciate microphones and audio kits that simply work right out of the box. Whether you’re building a small home studio, starting a podcast, streaming, or recording content, reliable gear makes the whole process feel smoother and way less stressful. These are the kinds of tools that deliver clean, natural sound without making you spend hours adjusting settings. You can just set everything up, relax into your workflow, and focus on creating instead of troubleshooting.

My gaming corner used to be a tangle of cables, empty cans, and a chair that made my back feel 80 years old. If you've ever knocked over a drink mid-raid or lost your headset in the couch cushions for the third time this week — I spent way too long hunting down fixes so you don't have to.

Dad gifts are hard for one reason: most of the men on your list already bought the thing they wanted the week they decided they wanted it. So this list takes the opposite approach — small upgrades to things he already uses every day, which is the category that actually gets used instead of re-gifted. It is organized purely by price, so you can start from your budget and be done in one order. Under $10 Finds is the tier that fills out a gift bag or covers a last-minute save: a three-pack of Carmex, a wooden beard comb, and the Victorinox Classic Swiss Army knife that ends up on a keyring for the next ten years. Under $20 Finds is the small-but-real tier — the Ridge slim wallet for anyone still carrying a folded brick, a 20W Anker Nano charger for the car or the carry-on, and a waterproof shower speaker. Under $30 Finds covers the picks that are safe for almost any dad: the YETI Rambler 20 oz, a digital meat thermometer for the griller, and the Hot Ones Classic Trio for the one who puts hot sauce on everything. Under $50 Finds is where it starts to feel like a real present — a 12-inch Lodge cast iron skillet that outlives everybody, a full beard kit, and a Tommy Hilfiger polo if he needs clothes more than gadgets. And Under $100 Splurges is the main-gift tier: the Bose SoundLink Flex for the garage or the patio, a four-pack of Apple AirTags for the man who loses his keys weekly, and a percussion massage gun for the one whose back is always out. Made for anyone shopping for a dad who says he does not want anything, a new dad, a father-in-law or a grandpa, and for siblings going in on one bigger gift together. Father's Day lands on the third Sunday in June — save it now, order the week before, and expect the YETI colors and the grill picks to be the first ones gone.

A curated list of essentials every content creator needs to film, edit, and share with ease.✨

I have two teenage boys and they are SO hard to buy for! I have, however, managed to find a handful of things that they really liked! Some of these items were gifts and some were things they saved up for themselves. 💙💙

Here is My PC configuration. It usually runs for about $1000 and offers great performance for that price. You can occasionally get it for sub $1000 depending on what the GPU market is looking like. I have also included my peripherals (mouse, keyboard, monitor, and mouse pad) although that will cause the price to jump a little bit.

These are the gadgets and little lifesavers that keep my creator brain running. The things I grab without thinking — my go-to filming tools, editing essentials, organization apps, and all the tech that helps me show up clean, consistent, and creative.

Here is my list of digital tools that help me work more effectively!

You know that awkward moment when the upbeat cocktail music is still blasting while everyone sits down to eat? I hosted six dinner parties last year and the vibe shift always felt clunky. After way too much trial and error with speakers, lighting, smart home setups, and accessories, I finally nailed a seamless flow from lively drinks to relaxed dinner conversation. This is everything I use now, and it took me months to dial in so you can skip the headache.

Some of these items live on my desktop and others are just items that I simply would rather not do work without. Sometimes I think we overthink what we need to get our jobs done, but I will say a good sticky note, a great pen and a hot latte has always faired me well. Let me know if you have any of these items or have been wanting to get any of them- and if you're looking to splurge, the Ember mug would be what I recommend to start.

That panic when your laptop makes a weird noise and you realize 10 years of photos, videos, and irreplaceable memories live on one aging hard drive with no backup — yeah, I lived there for way too long. This is everything I bought to build a backup system that actually works, for anyone who keeps saying ‘I’ll do it this weekend' and never does.

Four hours into a drive with three dead phones, a melting snack bag, and kids asking ‘are we there yet’ every six minutes — that was my breaking point. This is everything I've added to my car since then, piece by piece, so long drives actually feel survivable. If you regularly drive with passengers who all need a charge, snacks that won't survive the heat, or a backseat that looks like a landfill by hour two — save yourself the slow descent into madness.

As a visual content creator, there are a few basic equipment that I use to create my content whether it be videos or photos. I'm generally a no frills gals and not one to go out and spend lots of $$$ for all the latest tech tools and gadgets (unless I really have to). Rather I tend to use what I already have before I go out and buy anything. So this list recommendation is likely perfect for novice users or beginners who are just starting out with their own vlogging or video producing journey. I also have lists of other fun tech gear and equipment (not related to content creation) here. #techtoys #techgear #contentcreator

Filming GRWM videos with patchy shadows and weird color casts drove me crazy for months. Every time I watched the playback, one side of my face looked completely different from the other. This is the full lighting and filming setup that finally made my content look consistent and clean. If you record beauty content from your bedroom or bathroom and you're tired of re-shooting because the light shifted, grab these before your next filming day.

Staring at a screen for 8+ hours used to leave me with throbbing headaches and dry, burning eyes by 3pm. I tried blue light glasses, dark mode, even dimming every light in the room. Nothing worked until I rebuilt my entire desk lighting setup from scratch. This is everything I landed on after months of trial and error, specifically for remote workers and developers who sit at a desk way longer than any human probably should.

The equipment I use daily for streaming video games

Every phone case I bought looked exactly like everyone else's on the subway — same marble pattern, same clear plastic, same nothing. If you're tired of pulling the wrong phone off the table at brunch because yours looks identical to your friend's, I spent way too long hunting down cases that actually feel like they belong to you. Scroll through before your current case cracks and you panic-buy another forgettable one.

Just a list of my photography and videography gear

Flat TV speakers made every action movie sound like it was playing through a tin can. I spent way too long researching soundbars and satellite speakers before landing on a setup that actually makes helicopters sound like they're flying over my living room. This is for anyone who keeps cranking the volume just to hear dialogue, then getting blasted by explosions two seconds later. Took me three weekends of testing so you can skip straight to the good stuff.

Staring at a bright monitor in a pitch-black room was giving me headaches and making my setup look like a sad office cubicle. I spent way too long testing different LED strips, diffusers, and accent lights before landing on the ones that actually look good on camera and in person. This is for anyone building a gaming space that feels warm, not like a rave. Grab these before you waste another $30 on strips that die in two months.
