One of the benefits of working from home is being able to outfit your office with EXACTLY the items you need to be productive, but sometimes it can be a trial and error process to find what works best for you, especially if you are just embarking on a new remote job.

When we’re not at Disney World or Disneyland, the DFB team works from home bringing you the latest Disney news! We’ve been doing it for more than a decade, which means we’ve tried all kinds of different products to make our lives easier. 

We’re bringing you our recommendations for the desk and office supplies we are loving, and some of them probably aren’t what you expect!

Nulaxy Laptop Stand

If you’re recently transitioning from an office job to a remote one, you might not have a desktop. Maybe you just prefer working on your laptop or like the flexibility of being able to travel with your work computer! No matter where you’re stationed, easily turn your laptop into a desktop with this laptop stand. 

The higher elevation brings the screen up to eye level like a desktop monitor would be. This is not only easier to look at, but it’s definitely a back-saver because you won’t be hunched over staring at the screen. Under your laptop is space to slip a Bluetooth keyboard out of the way when not in use. This stand comes in a variety of colors to match your laptop or office, from silver to a popular rose gold tone!

Hanging Wall File Organizer

Notebooks, folders, and miscellaneous papers are the arch enemy of a clean desk. Easily organize all those pesky bits of paper with a hanging file holder! Just mount on the wall and now they all have a place to live that isn’t your workspace. 

This organizer has four compartments, and each one has a panel where you can insert a label to designate the use of each section. For example, if mail is the main paper cluttering your space, you could have a section for bills, one for letters, another for actionable items, and the last for shredding. At the bottom is a small tray where you can also stash other stray office supplies that tend to clutter up your desk.

Blanket Hoodie

Items to help you be your best work-from-home self aren’t limited to just your typical office supplies. One of the benefits of working from home is taking advantage of setting your own dress code! We definitely feel more productive when we’re comfortable, and this oversized hoodie is probably the ultimate comfort clothing item. 

The material is super soft both inside and outside. A front kangaroo pouch is perfect for holding snacks, and we like to draw up the hood when we’re in our focus zone and need to block out the world. This cat print is super sweet, but it also comes in other prints to brighten up your work day!

Grogu Crew Socks

While we’re on the topic of staying cozy, we can’t ignore the importance of a fun pair of socks. These not only keep your feet toasty warm at your desk, but just putting on a pair with a cute design will put you in a better mood!

And when it comes to lifting moods, who does it better than Baby Yoda? A comic book style Grogu reaches out on the front of these socks, while trusty Mando is silhouetted on the back. These socks are mid-calf height and have cushioning in the sole for a comfy fit.

Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard

A keyboard is one of the most important items on your desk, especially if your job is primarily computer-focused. If you’re typing all day you need a keyboard that won’t cause too much wear and tear on your hands and wrists, and the Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard is one of the best ones out there. Several of us own this specific keyboard and swear by it! It’s Bluetooth operated, so all you need to do to pair it with your computer is to plug in a small USB dongle.

The keyboard is elevated at the wrists and slopes down at the back, and the keys are split and curved inwards. At first glance it looks a little strange, but trust us- this design keeps our wrists from hurting after a long day of writing. This completely wireless keyboard also comes with a separate number pad that has a dedicated key to open the calculator app, which makes this convenient for anyone working with numbers or data frequently, like accountants and analysts. We can’t recommend this keyboard enough!

Microplush Heating Pad

Sitting at a desk all day can be hard on your back. Besides purchasing an ergonomic chair, there are other things you can do to protect and sooth your body while working a sedentary job. One tried and true way is heat! We like this heating pad because it is large enough to cover your entire back, but is also flexible so you can use it anywhere else on your body you might need a little heat therapy.

This pad has a luxe microplush outer cover to provide extra comfort, and it can be removed for washing. It has six temperature settings to ease your aches and pains. There are also different timer settings so you can turn it on and forget about it without having to worry about resetting it or turning it off if you walk away from your desk.

Cooper Mega Lap Desk

Listen, sometimes we need to set up somewhere that ISN’T our desk. A change of scenery (whether that’s your bed, couch, or poolside!) can help recalibrate our brains when we feel like we’re getting stuck in a rut. To make the switch easier, bring one of these portable lap desks! This one has plenty of space for all of your devices and office supplies, no matter what you need to work.

Along with the ample table space, there is also a book holder, a space to prop up your phone or table, and a slide out drawer for small odds and ends. This table is even tall enough for you to sit on the floor and work comfortably from the space! The entire table folds up flat, making it totally portable and giving you the freedom to work remotely from anywhere.

SmartDevil USB Desk Fan

Temperature regulation is a big factor in your comfort while working. To avoid having to crank up the AC and cool down the entire house, instead opt for a small desk fan. This option also works for those who are sharing their living space with others and might have different opinions on what a comfortable day-time temperature is. 

Powered by a USB cord, this fan is small enough to fit on your desk but reviewers state that despite its size it provides a generous breeze. The head of the fan adjusts directions so when you get too warm you can target the areas that cool you down best.

Mr. Coffee Mug Warmer

You might want your office to cool down when it gets too warm, but most people don’t want that for their coffee or tea! Also, how many times have you made a cup of tea and left it to steep only to forget about it and come across it hours later? You can avoid all these scenarios by using a mug warmer! 

This one by Mr. Coffee is the perfect size for most mugs. Just plug it in, turn it on, and place your mug on top for perfectly warm drinks all day. Reviewers recommend placing the warmer on top of a silicone or stone coaster to protect your desk, depending on the material.

Mini Desktop Vacuum Cleaner

Desk Snackers, do we have the product for you! Stave off an army of ants marching onto your keyboard by keeping your desk clean and free of crumbs with a small desk vacuum cleaner. It may sound silly, but once you start using it you’ll wonder why you never had one before! 

This cute little kitty version comes in a variety of colors and will become your new best friend. Reviewers were surprised at the suction power of such a small device! Press the button to turn it on and then just sweep over any surface to collect dust, pencil shavings, crumbs, and pet hair. Then pop it open and dump all the dirt into the garbage where it belongs. When finished just plug it in to charge and you’re all set for next time!
