Gifts people working from Home will really love 5

Gifts people working from Home will really love has been updated for 2021. I have been working from home now for 14 years and the husband has also worked from home most of the week since March this year, so I thought I would put together a gift guide for people that work from home – gifts that they will really love and appreciate, not ones that will go in the cupboard until they can re-gift them!

Now my best working from home is something that you can not give for Christmas, but something that brings me joy and companionship every single day. Alvin our pooch is such great company and really would be the ultimate gifts for working from Home.

Disclosure: AD| If you make a purchase after clicking one of these links, I will make a small commission (hopefully enough to keep me in tea all year) – at no extra cost to you! This allows me to keep creating and sharing free tutorials and content for you. Thank you!. I only recommend things that I totally believe in and I have not been paid to promote these items! 

Gifts people working from Home will really love

The best gift that I was given last Christmas was a set of Bose Noise Cancelling headphones (UK Link/US Link). I never thought I would get so much use out of them, but they have been invaluable this year. I have been able to block out the constant noise from the husbeasts calls and they even blocked out the children when they were home educating. They have been perfect for zoom calls too.

ht look like a pair of ordinary Sunglasses, but trust me they are anything but ordinary. These are FAUNA Designer Bluetooth Audio Smart Sunglasses. Yep, sunglasses that are also a Bluetooth speaker with a sunglasses case that doubles as a charging case. I am very envious of Maxi who these being too and I wish that I had a pair but with the blue light lenses for when I am at the PC. We love these. The Bluelight pair would be perfect for people like me that work from home, no earphones are required when on those zoom calls.

When working from home takes up living space, the things you use need to be beautiful and functional. This 3 part brass desk set from Made.com is made of beautiful brass and it is really practical too as it comes with a phone holder – perfect for video calls and it is in stylish brass too and a snip at £19.00

One of the things that helped get me through the first lockdown and working from home was greenery. Yep, plants. Bringing the outside in is a brilliant way to improve any work from home environment. I am big fan of string of heart plants. I have two and they have thrived this year – super easy to look after and inexpensive. This one from Hey Ho & Co is £9.

It can get pretty dark during winter when you are working from home in the UK. I have task lighting, but nothing beats the warming glow of candles and these beautiful candle holders from Lillian Daph are stunning.

Just because you work from home doesn’t mean that you can not do a secret Santa and this £5 gift of Seeds from Oxfam unwrapped would be my choice.

The husbeast has been working from home for a lot of 2019 and he normally wears a suit every day, so it has been a real change for him. Also on the days he is in the office he can go in smart casual as he isn’t seeing clients, so we updated his wardrobe with some smart casual wear from Mainline Menswear – he is currently lusting after this Gant superfine knit Jumper. Mainline Menswear prices are great plus they are an independent and we have found their services excellent and they offer free next day delivery at the moment.

I am rather short and love the idea of a foot hammock. When I worked in an office I was in charge of workstation assessments and know how important good posture is and lifting your feet can really help and this is a fun inexpensive gift (UK Link/US Link).

During winter I refuse to put the heating on just for me during the day and therefore, would love someone to buy me one of these heated throws so I can wrap myself up like a burrito! (UK Link/US Link)

Whilst we are talking about keeping warm and comfortable, one of my other favourite items over the cold season is my sheepskin. It makes my desk chair all cosy and warm and looks beautiful. I am currently crushing over this beautiful black spot sheepskin from Lotta from Stockholm and it is a great price at £65.00.

Now if you are looking to blow the budget, I am going to let you into a secret. The best gift you could buy is a brilliant desk chair. I have a second-hand Aeron from Herman Miller and it is over 20 years old now (I have had it at home for the last 16 years) and you can not put a price on looking after your back and sitting comfortably. There is a reason why the Aeron is one of the worlds most popular and long-lasting iconic office chairs.

Now this isn’t my cup of tea, but I know a lot of people need their coffee (Well the husband does)! So having a great coffee machine at home is a must. it will help make up for all the takeaway coffees you will save on not being at work. I have iot on good advice that if you are looking for a great bean to cup machine then the way to go is a Sage machine – The Barista Express is an investment machine that makes amazing coffee (UK Link/US Link.

However, if you are looking for a more reasonable price coffee machine you could do much worse than a Tassimo. We are on our second machine and the husband swears by it. This is the exact machine that we have and you can change the strength, temperature and size of your drink (UK Link/US Link).

Now, this is more of my wheelhouse as a Tea Monster. I would love a tea subscription from Bird and Blend.

Another work from home essential is warm feet and I achieve this with fabulous sheepskin slippers and these from Lotta from Stockholm are great value.

Now Slippers are not just for women that work from home, these Brody Felt Slipper Clogs from Bedroom Athletics are perfect for the man in your life and are exceptional value at £35.

These Alpaca House socks area cosy luxury, perfect for padding about the house, curling up on the sofa, keeping warm by the fire or when at your desk. 

I am also a huge fan of an eco scented candle and the amber glass apothecary jar candles create a beautiful warm glow when burning. I love this Basil and Lime scented one and it is a permanent feature on my desk.

A beautiful desk calendar is the perfect desk companion and I love this Rifle Paper Company one from Papermash. There is something new to see each time you look.

This Tablet Desk Calendar is more understated and minimal. It is made up of movable date tablets, allowing this to last forever. This is from Present & Correct, if you love stationery then you will find yourself lost in this web site.

Music is also essential for me for working from home. We have Amazon Prime Music at home and love it – You can get a free 3 month trial subscription. An Amazon Show (UK Link/US Link) is great for this and also for linking your ring doorbell too, so you don’t have to keep interrupting work to get up (UK Link/US Link) .

You can also watch Amazon Prime Video on your Show too (sign up for a free 30-day trial) – I am not going to lie, I tend to sit with something playing in the background during the day as it is easy to listen to that than the husbeasts calls. I even subscribed for the seven day trial of the Hallmark channel after reading Whos the Mummy’s best festive movies to watch.

This is a handy little gadget if you want to look better on zoom calls over the winter season. A vlogging light with a clip for your camera too and for under £20 a great gift.

Working from home doesn’t mean that you can not have beautiful stationery and I am a real stationery fan and LOVE my Cross Pen a lot. I have had this since the beginning of the year and use it every day. Not only does it write beautifully it has a really lovely weight to it and I will use it every day for years and years.
