Work From Home Gifts: Ideas to Brighten Any Home Office
We’ve all been there. Christmas is just around the corner, and you’ve got no idea what present to get. But have you thought about work from home gifts? It’s highly likely you know someone who works at home for at least a few hours a week, and home office gifts are an often overlooked source of inspiration when it comes to birthday or Christmas gift ideas.
According to Statista, around 45% of UK workers work from home for part of the week in hybrid roles, while around 15% work remotely full-time. Of those who don’t have a WFH role, many will still have home office equipment ‒ either for informal ad hoc work or personal admin.
Working from home gifts aren’t just thoughtful, they’re practical and useful too. Whether it’s a present to boost productivity, increase comfort or simply bring a smile to a face during long and lonely days at the office desk, it shows you’ve put care and thought into your choice.
So, if you’re looking to buy gifts for people who work from home, you’ve come to the right place ‒ we’ve rounded up five fantastic gift ideas that any home office hero will love.
5 Great Gifts for People Who Work From Home
Cordless Desk Lamp
WFH days can be long and lonely, so why not brighten up the home office of the remote professional in your life by treating them to a stylish desk lamp? It helps to lift the gloom on a rainy day or dark evenings, and provides focused task lighting when planning or making notes.
Gifts for home office use like the Alba Tube LED Portable Desk Lamp are always a popular option. With a choice of dimmable light colours and a touch-sensitive ON/OFF switch, it’s a sleek and modern light that doesn’t need much desktop space and won’t use up a power socket ‒ it has a 2.5-hour battery life and is easily rechargeable via laptop or PC, using the supplied USB cable.
Wall-Mounted Memo Board
It’s not always easy to stay organised when working from home, particularly when there’s less storage and desk space available compared to the office. But you can help your loved one plan their day the easy way with a stylish memo board for the wall.
Choose a traditional corkboard design for pinning notes and memos, or a modern eraser board that can be written on time and time again. The Bi-Office Blue Pearl Combination Board has both ‒ it’s easily wall-mountable in a portrait or landscape orientation to best suit the available space.
Wireless Phone Charger
Anyone working from home will love the convenience of having a wireless charger on their desk. No more running out of battery during an important call, no more scrabbling around for a charger cable ‒ this is the ultimate work from home gift to make your loved one’s everyday life so much easier.
Popular gadgets like the Aircharge Wireless Surface Charger can be fitted anywhere, from the work desk to the coffee table or any surface with an 80mm cable access grommet. The Aircharge uses Qi technology to wirelessly charge smartphones without the need for a power point ‒ a real time-saver to treat any WFH professional this Christmas.
USB Desk Fan
A WFH room gets pretty warm when you’re working hard throughout the day, so a small office fan is a great way to increase airflow and stay cool all year round.
To save using up another power socket, choose a portable fan that doesn’t require a mains connection. A battery-powered fan has full cordless freedom to be positioned anywhere, while a USB fan can run off a laptop for uninterrupted performance ‒ the Sealey 3-Speed Oscillating USB Desk Fan ticks both boxes, making it a versatile and popular home office gift.
Back Support
When it comes to office chairs, WFH setups won’t usually offer the same levels of quality and comfort. Many remote workers use a cheaper seat, or a makeshift option from elsewhere in the house. Sitting uncomfortably for long spells every day isn’t good for support or posture, so a chair back support is a great home office gift idea.
Show your loved one you care by giving them a supportive cushion like the best-selling Fellowes Plushtouch Lumbar Support ‒ with its adjustable strap and buckle, it fits to most chairs and helps to improve posture by encouraging a better seating position.
In Summary
Working from home gifts are often overlooked when trying to find the perfect birthday or Christmas gift ideas. But with remote work now being such an integral part of so many job roles, it’s a valuable source of inspiration when looking for thoughtful presents that show you care.
