No monthly fee. Pan & tilt surveillance, AI tracking. Get notifications sent to your phone.Night vision. 2-way audio. Learn more.
Office Seat Cushion and Lumbar Support Pillow
This ergonomic office chair cushion and lumbar support pillow set is what I use in my home office. It’s a reasonably priced gift for anyone who spends much time sitting in front of a computer. It helps relieve pressure on the tailbone and backs of legs, supports the back and improves posture. Check it out.
Under Desk Foot Rest
This under-desk foot rest from StepLively is another practical and different home office gift idea. It reduces leg and knee fatigue when sitting in your office chair. The drop shaped ergonomic design fits the arch of your feet. Or, rest your heels on top of the comfortable foam. Washable cover Get it on Amazon.
Beaded Wrist Rest
My personal favorite wrist rest, and I’ve tried many types. The filling in this ergonomic wrist rest supports your wrist and and conforms to the shape of your wrist as you’re using your mouse. The beads in the wrist rest gently massage your hand and wrist as you work. Makes a great home office gift or stocking stuffer. Get it here.
IMAK Smart Glove
This smart glove makes a smart gift idea for anyone who types a lot. It helps prevent and relieve wrist pain associated with carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis and tendinitis. It features a soft, beaded part that goes under the bottom part or your thumb and wrist (kind of like having a soft wrist rest attached to you.) The top side has a stay to keep your hand in an ergonomically correct position. Choose size small, medium, or large.
Wave Keyboard
A wireless, wave-style keyboard with a padded wrist wrest is an ergonomic replacement for flat keyboards that come with desktop computers. You can also use it in place of the keyboard and mouse on laptops. The slightly angled position of the keys makes it easier to reach all the keys and lessens strain on your wrists and fingers. The wave keyboards are wireless and most (but not all) include a wireless, ergonomic mouse. Check them out.
Tower Surge Protector Power Strip
Got a lot of devices to charge, and not enough outlets that are reachable in the same location? This tower surge protector powerstrip is the ideal solution or gift. It has 12 AC outlets and 4 smart USB (1 USB C) charging ports and can power up to 16 electronic devices simultaneously. (Mine sits on a corner of our kitchen counter so we can charge multiple phones and smart watches.) Get it here.
Grabber Reacher Tool
This heavy duty grabber reacher tool is terrific for people who have trouble bending to pick things up off the floor. For those of us with home offices, it’s also a very handy tool for retrieving the papers and other stuff that slides off the back of the desk and lands in a hard to reach spot. Order it here.
Microwave Heated Neck and Shoulder Wrap
Know someone whose neck and shoulders hurt after spending too many hours looking at your smart phone or working at a keyboard? This microwavable neck and shoulder wrap heating pad makes a great gift idea. It relieves tension and muscle pain. It’s soft, weighted, and easy to use. Get it here.
