Most office spaces are designed with the same soul-crushing aesthetic: fifty shades of beige, fluorescent lights that hum a sad, monotonous tune, and the distant smell of burnt coffee. It's an environment that screams "productivity" but whispers "is it Friday yet?" into your soul every fifteen minutes. You sit in your ergonomic chair, staring at spreadsheets, dreaming of a world where your most pressing deadline is deciding between a piña colada and a margarita.

We've found 21 office accessories that serve as a tiny portal to your happy place. These finds are designed to infuse your 9-to-5 with some much-needed vacation vibes, turning your cubicle from a productivity pod into a personal paradise.

    Review: "I had been looking all over for some type of holder to hold about 20 coffee packets. We live in our fifth wheel and everyone who sees this raves over it.

I did use a bit of glue to keep the little hitch in place but it's adorable on my counter and matches my aqua kitchen accessories. I'm thinking about getting another to hold our packets of water supplements." - Shawna Nero Newton
