The set includes a wireless keyboard and a wireless mouse with a USB receiver. Pick up some AA batteries — both will need them!

Promising review: "Every time I walk into my red office and see this beautiful keyboard, it makes me happy. It looks just like it does in the photo. It's such a jolt of color, and with its cool circular retro buttons, it's just a pleasure to use. If you need a pick-me-up (and who doesn't this year?), I can't recommend this highly enough." —CA-girl

Promising review: "I rarely write a review (this is the second in the past few years). One of the best purchases in a long time. Nice design and very practical.

Promising review: "I have procrastinated in writing this review and am actually happy to say that after a year, the product is continuing to stay strong.

The velour cover zips off for easy cleaning in the washing machine.

Get it from Amazon for $41.36+ (available in seven colors). 

Promising review: "Got this for my office desk. It definitely stands out, and the older ladies at my work love it! It works well as a seat cushion, as my office chair is so thin I can feel the metal and plastic bits when sitting. With the cushion, it's super soft and comfortable!" —Jane

Reviewers suggest turning the heat down from high to medium once the drink gets down to about the halfway point so it stays a comfortable temperature!

BuzzFeed editor Jenae Sitzes wishes she had bought it sooner: 

 "After seeing this coffee warmer all over BuzzFeed Shopping and even gifting my dad one for Christmas, I finally decided to buy one for myself. Based on all the reviews, I was pretty confident I'd soon be kicking myself for not getting it sooner, and that proved to be true: This thing not only looks good but works great for keeping my coffee warm all day long. (Because yes, I'm one of those people who'll sip on coffee until 5 p.m., all right!!) I was kind of worried it'd be too small for some of my larger mugs, but the center plate is bigger than expected and accommodated every mug in my (very eclectic) collection perfectly. I can confirm that flat-bottomed mugs are the best option for this warmer as they do stay hotter, but it still keeps my concave-bottom mugs warm enough for my taste. Also, I looove how sleek the white version looks on my white desk, and the auto-shutoff function is a nice safety feature for an absent-minded person." 

Get it from Amazon for $19.79+ (available in 11 styles).

The whiteboard also comes with a dry-erase marker, an accessory channel (to hold the marker), and a storage drawer.

Promising review: "I got this as a replacement for using sticky notes and it's amazing. Most of the time, I need to take a quick note for work or make a checklist, and this is perfect for that! It comes in cute colors. I love the marker storage tray on the side. I've recommended it to all of my coworkers!" —Emily

1801 & Co. is a Minnesota-based Etsy shop established in 2016 that specializes in family wall calendars, chore charts, wedding signs, and more.

Promising review: "I love it! I got it so fast after ordering, and it’s perfect. I love the sleek design for my small home office space. I can’t function at work without a dry erase board but couldn’t find any that would look nice in my office space, which is in the corner of my master bedroom! Having functional office space without LOOKING like an office in the bedroom is challenging, but this acrylic board is PERFECT. The black pen that comes with it is very nice fine tip and erases without a trace." —Dawn Powell

Get it from 1801 & Co. on Etsy for $14.18+ (originally $18.91; available in 19 sizes and three hardware styles/finishes).

Promising review: "I really like this mat — I've had it for several months now, and it hasn't faded or scuffed at all. Makes my basic office cubicle desk a little prettier and does the job I really needed it for — to soften the surface of my desk because I hate the way my mouse sounds without a mousepad. Several coworkers have complimented the design and asked for the link!" —AliB_Art

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in 35 colors/prints).

Promising review: "I put two of these in my home office window, where the sun shines in the morning. Every morning, it's an explosion of cheerful rainbows and sunshine, and it just makes me happy to be alive! The quality is excellent. Even though they aren't crystal, I honestly don't think you would ever see a difference if they were, other than being a few hundred dollars poorer. They are heavy, remarkably clear, smooth, crisp facets, and appear flawless." —Dr Hall

Promising review: "Cute, cute, cute! This is one of the cutest night-lights ever! Not only does it change colors, but it can also be controlled remotely and changed in a variety of colors and effects, from flashing to slowly fading from one color into another, or if desired, one constant color to match any decor. The brightness can also be adjusted. And the wood base gives it more than the look of a toy; it is perfectly classy." —roika

Promising review: "Comfortable, easy to assemble, looks great. Great value for the price. It is my office chair for home, I only use it 1-2 times a week, but it is comfortable for my 8-10 hrs of desk work." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I got this for my son's desk and thought it was a little hard to assemble. The quality itself was awesome. The support was great, and its ergonomic features felt very relaxing. I loved this product and [would] definitely buy it again." —Anuj Bhartiya

Brighttia is a New York-based Etsy shop established in 2018 that specializes in industrial and modern interior lighting and decor.

Promising review: "These brass cable organizers are beautiful and high quality.

Promising review: "I love putting together the botanical Lego sets. I did this one to have it on my desk at work instead of a real plant I'll inevitably kill. Great instructions and easy to put together! Love it!" —Catherine 

Promising reviews: "I have a white desk and a light gray chair, and this headphone hanger matches the design perfectly. The quality and simple hinged design is brilliant. The adhesive is very strong, provided you clean the surface before applying and let it cure for 24 hours before hanging anything on it." —Henry Ting

Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in black and white).

Promising review: "Honestly better than I thought it would be. It looked cool online, and I bought it as an impulse buy and was not disappointed. It's heavy and well-made. If I had any complaint, it's that due to the shape of the jaw, some jelly beans fall out if I don't grab them carefully, but I've decided that's a small price to pay for this epic protector sitting on my desk." —David
