    Review: "This little vacuum lives on my office work desk and I use it to suck-up pencil shavings and small paper pieces that often annoy me if they do not get picked up.

The color code on both the top and the bottom makes it easy to identify what color each pen is in, and the design makes them easy to hold and write with. I would highly suggest getting these to use." — Christina G.

    Review: "I don't write many reviews unless I'm extremely disappointed or extremely impressed and wow this clock is amazing! I'm so glad I didn't listen to the negative reviews and bought this anyway. It's so beautiful and it's large enough to see from anywhere in the room. I'm going to be buying more! The box comes with the almost invisible USB charging cable, the screws, and a template to put on the wall to know exactly where to put the screws in! It took me less than 5 minutes to put this clock up and have it running. Tells me the time and date and has an alarm. Love this clock!" — Luthien

    Compact treadmill placed under a standing desk as a work-from-home essential for staying active while working.

    Review: "Absolutely love this walking tread! (Its not a traditional running treadmill). It comes preassembled. Just unpack it and plug it in! Important to note that the red magnet must be inserted in place for this to turn on. It fits perfectly under my rising desk. I work from home and found that I'm not out and about as often as I used to be and needed to get some exercise during my 9-10 hour work days. This was a perfect solution. It comes with a remote, which is excellent to use while I'm in/out of meetings. I have the handle bars in the down position, but if they were upright, it has a keypad to control the machine and a holder that will fit a cell phone or a small iPad (no books). It's lightweight. I can easily move this around on my own. The tread moves pretty quickly, very brisk walking pace (just under a jog's pace). I've been using this a couple weeks now and I've lost 1.5 pounds. I highly recommend." — Cori

    One-Stop Power Shop For All Your Devices With The Charging Station For Multiple Devices

    Charging station with multiple devices plugged in, showcasing essential office gear for work-from-home warriors.

    Review: "I bought this because I was tired of my assorted cords for recharging my iPhone13, my newer Kindle, and my older kindle. All are in protective cases and the newer Kindle is larger and heavier. I read one review about the plastic dividers not being strong enough. I thought so also until I snapped them in place. I doubt I could have used all 5 spaces with dividers if all those devices were large and in protective cases, but since I only had three, I had plenty on room. Love the short cords. I start smallest to largest so I know which cord goes to what device. iPhone goes in front but needed to take photos. So far, very happy." — TexasJake

    Keep The Buzz Going With The Coffee Mug Warmer!

    White mug with a floral watering can design on a black beverage warmer, office essentials for work-from-home warriors.

    Review: "This mug warmer is a game changer!!!! I was in the habit of warming my coffee in the microwave multiple times a day at work, and this has changed my life! I bought it because it's super cute and affordable, not at all expecting it to work as well as it did. I keep my coffee on the highest setting while I'm sipping on it, until there is a small amount left then I put it on the medium heat setting. To turn it off you just tap three times until the red light is blinking and eventually it shuts off. Also, I use many different size mugs and haven't had an issue with any of them being too big. I don't know where I would be without this thing." — Alyssa

    Give Your Feet A Break With This Under Desk Foot Rest!

    Footrest cushion supporting feet of work-from-home warriors, enhancing comfort in an office essential setup on colorful carpet.

    Review: "I have a bad habit of folding my feet back under my chair and at the end of an 8 hour day, my feet are in a lot of pain. I bought this product to help me keep my feet out in front of me and to keep me from my bad posture with my feet. It is very sturdy and large enough for my large (womens size 10) feet! I can either prop my feet up on the curved side, slide my ankles over the curved side or flip the product over and sit my feet flat on the other side. EXCELLENT product especially for the price. Very well made and sturdy. It also has a detachable portion that you can remove if the foot rest is too high for you. Not only that but it came with two additional covers and honestly, I have not used those yet (and not sure I will or what they are for). I don't write a lot of Amazon reviews but I definitely recommend this product to keep those feet up and keep the feet and ankles in good posture!!" — Sonya TN

    Rise To The Occasion With The Height Adjustable Stand Up Desk Converter!

    Home office setup with dual monitors, adjustable desk riser, keyboard, and accessories for work-from-home warriors.

    Review: "I love this and the option to choose color. Very sturdy. I got this because I had a double knee replacement, and I need the option to sit or stand The keypad fits my ergonomic keyboard and special roller pad. I got the 36” one I Believe and in the picture you can see it fits my large monitor and laptop comfortably. It is very strong and sturdy, but easy to raise and lower as needed. When you are sitting at your desk and his lowered, the keyboard is not that much higher then is if you were to have it flat on your desk the keyboard holder isn’t that thick which is helpful. The most important thing to know and to love is that there is no drilling screws or clips to hold this in place. It is heavy enough to hold in place, it’s not going anywhere. You could put it on a sturdy glass desk as long as it’s it can handle the weight, and again there is no drilling of holes and screws or clipping. A must have." — Clyda DiNicola

The bottom drawer is perfect for holding desk things like note pads and electronic cords. Now I don't have to dig through desk drawers to find what I need." — Timotheus

    You Will Stay The Perfect Level Of Caffeinated Thanks To This Cold Brew Iced Coffee Maker

    Hand holding a large black and brown insulated coffee mug, an essential for work-from-home warriors.

    Review: "I got so tired of spending $5 a pop for cold brew that almost never tastes the way it should. I finally decided to take the plunge and get my own cold brewer and I will never look back! It takes a lot of coffee grounds to make a pot (around 6-7 tablespoons) but it’s totally worth it! Add in some sugar free flavoring syrup and half and half and I have the perfect cold brew! I usually get 2 days from one pot (I use a 32 ounce travel mug) so I only have to make it every other day. 10/10 recommend!" — M.K. 17

    Plan, Prioritize, And Conquer With The Daily Planner Notepad

    Daily planner sheet with colorful handwritten to-do list, grocery shopping, and health notes, ideal for work-from-home warriors.

    Review: "This is really good for someone like me- my calendar is full of “to-do’s” especially as a student, what assignments are due/priority. As soon as I get up my mind is spinning with all the things I need to get done. Getting them on paper to start my day in an organized fashion helps me just focus on my work and not feel like something is going to fall through the cracks. The paper is thick and high quality, the design is great for me, although as you can see I could use a little more space. As long as I understand what is on the paper and if I don’t complete a task it goes onto tomorrow’s." — CGie
