What is the perfect gift for people who work from home?
People who work from home have slightly different needs than people who work in an office setting or any other working environment. Often they are (small) entrepreneurs who promote their businesses online. They’re are often spending a lot of time on their visibility online and they’re spending many hours of the day talking to clients and colleagues on Zoom or Teams. When your home is used as your office as well, your home office needs to feel homely and personal, too.

Planners & Notebooks

When you are working from the comfort of your own home, it’s even more important to have a structured and organized workflow. A weekly, daily or monthly desk planner can be a great help. Of course, you can also use a digital planner, like Trello or Clickup, but it can also be extremely handy to have a paper desk planner on your desk next to you so that all your goals and to-do’s for that day or week are always right there in plain sight!

19. Electric Foot Warmer
Het voordeel aan vanuit huis werken is dat je je werkplek zo comfortabel kunt inrichten als je zelf wil en daar hoort wat The advantage of working from home is that you can decorate your workplace as comfortably as you like and as far as I’m concerned this wonderful foot warmer should be part of your workspace at home!

Get inspired and motivated at the home office with this beautiful card deck from Gabby Bernstein. Gabby is one of my personal favorites when it comes to growth mindset and business motivation and her card deck is so beautiful. A great gift for any home office!
Health
21. Rose Gold Crystal Water Bottle
One of the things that we often forget to do when we work from home is to drink enough water. I always have to put in a lot of effort to drink enough liquids and it helps a lot to keep a filled water bottle next to you. And if you need to keep a bottle next to you every day, why not sure it looks nice as well and has crystals inside that are said to have a purifying effect as well!
22. Medify Air Purifier
Did you know that poor air quality in your working environment can cause heavier breathing and loss of concentration? Therefore, clean air in your home is a must for every person who is working from home! And this Air Purifier will keep your air clean so you will be able to breathe and function perfectly.
Coffee & Tea Moment
23. Corkcirle Coffee Mug
Does your fav home office worker drink coffee or tea all day long? With this Corkcircle coffee mug her warm drinks will stay warm for up to 3 hours. Never drink a cold coffee or tea again!

These are literally the cutest coffee and tea coasters I’ve ever seen! And you instantly have a nice office plant that doesn’t need any watering as well. A really great gift to give to any person who works from for Christmas or a birthday!
25. Coffee Mug Warmer
Does this sound familiar to you? You just made yourself a coffee or a tea, you get to work, you’re really focussed on your work for let’s say a few minutes, you want to take a sip of your warm drink… and then it’s ice-cold? This coffee mug solves this problem completely! Never a cold matcha, tea, or coffee again while you’re working from home.
Tidying & organizing
26. Desktop Organizer
Is the desk of the work-from-home worker you’re searching a gift for always a bit messy? Then a desktop organizer is a perfect present for her! All her pens, memos, notebooks, sticky tape and staplers will always be neatly organized from now on!
27. Laptop Desk
Another great gift for people who work from home; a laptop desk to put on your lap when you want to do your work from the couch or bed for a change. It includes a space for your mouse and for your phone. Perfect for everyone who wants to switch places every now and then and who likes to change it up a bit.
28. Bagsmart Laptop Bag
People who work from home also like to change their workspace every now and then, and to do so you need a practical laptop bag that comes with a gorgeous design as well. The Smartbag is my personal favorite in the area of laptop bags, and it’s made of great quality material.
29. Laptop Backpack Herschel
Oh, how I love this brand! The laptop backpacks made by Herschel are absolutely perfect to pack your laptop in. I own a Herschel backpack in mint green myself, but this newer version of my backpack in pink looks so pretty too! And their backpacks are of really good quality, I can promise you that!
Ergonomic
30. Neck & Shoulder Massager
I know very few people working from home who don’t have back, shoulder, or neck problems, so this is always an ideal gift for almost anyone who works from home. This massager can be used on 3 intensity settings, it has a heat function and gives an automatic massage of 15 minutes!
31. Blue light Blocking Glasses
These glasses are the solution for anyone who spends a long time sitting in front of a computer. These glasses neutralize blue light and reduce headaches, eye strain and concentration problem. They also improve the quality of sleep.
32. Office Foot Rest for Under Desk
This adjustable foot rest helps you to create a better posture while working at home and improve blood circulation. I also have a foot rest and it helps me enormously to sit more comfortably while working. This footrest is a great gift for everyone who works long hours behind the laptop too!
33. Ergonomische Laptop Standard
Another product that has been such a huge help to me this adjustable ergonomic laptop standard. This standard has entirely resolved my neck pain, so I really recommend this product to every home worker. With this, you ensure a healthier work posture and you can use the laptop stand in different ways. It is adjustable from 2.1″ to 13.8″ and you can also adjust the angle to your liking.
34. Ergonomic Office Chair
If you are on a larger budget and the person you are searching a gift for is in desperate need of a better office chair, then go for an ergonomic office chair! Actually, EVERY work-at-home professional needs a chair that serves the body well. Yet, there are still a lot of professionals who work at the dinner table. A decent office chair is prio number 1 for every person who works from home!
35. Wired Ergonomic Mouse
Yet another product that should not be missing on the desk of any person who is working from home. This ergonomic mouse has reduced all the symptoms I had in my wrist and hand to 0! I am so grateful for this amazing invention. Really kudos to the person who came up with this! I have deliberately chosen a mouse that is not wireless because I have experienced myself how annoying (and not sustainable) it is to have to replace the battery all the time.
36. Ergonomic Mouse Pad Loftmat
This cushioned mouse pad prevents wrist overload and therefore it makes working behind a laptop much more comfortable. I use a mouse mat with raised wrist support pillow, but this mouse pad is newer and has been tested as safer than the one with the raised wrist support. Definitely a useful gift to give to someone who needs to make a lot of mouse movements.
37. Pilates Yoga Ball
It may feel like you’re reading a gift guide for the elderly with all the ergonomically designed products in it, but these products are making our lives so much easier and comfortable! That’s why the last product on this list is this ergonomic home office pilates ball. When you use this ball your posture will automatically shift to a more active and healthy position. Alternating between this ball and a normal office chair can help reduce or even prevent back pain.
