Thoughtful Gift Ideas for People Who Work From Home

If someone on your list works or studies from home, the right small gift can make their days calmer and more organized. Here are a few thoughtful ideas that fit on a desk and into a daily routine.

A timer that builds a routine

Splitting the day into focused sessions and short breaks is a popular way to stay on track. The Magnetic Focus Timer has countdown and stopwatch modes, an adjustable alarm volume and a silent countdown mode, so it will not disturb anyone nearby. Because it is magnetic, it sticks to a whiteboard or the fridge.

A soft light for the evening

When the workday ends, a warm, low light helps the space feel like home again. The Kitty Night Light is rechargeable and comes with a remote, so it works on a shelf or a bedside table without a cable.

A game for real breaks

A proper break means stepping away from the screen. A quick round of UNO FLIP! with a partner, flatmates or family is an easy way to reset. It plays with 2 to 10 people and comes in a compact tin.

How to choose

Pick something small and useful rather than something big. A gift that fits into the person's real day is the one that gets used all year.
