And when the balls lose their stickiness, just clean them up with soap and water for them to feel like new again!
Promising review: "As an adult with ADHD, I was never particularly attracted to the typical fidget devices.

And when I see something like this, I cannot resist adding it to my collection of useful, fun items I use every day that give me the kind of delight a 5-year-old might feel at the idea of little fishes in a sardine that can also be used as paper clips." —B.

12. A pack of three cactus pen holders that'll keep your gels, markers, highlighters, and pencils organized.

I bought them to take notes, but they're such a fine point that I might keep some of them at home for drawing...I'm not sure how long they would hold up for drawing, but they don't bleed at all, and they have a finer point than a Sharpie pen for little details. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase!" —Hailey

15. A pack of six fast-drying pastel highlighters so you can beautifully color-code your notes and lists.
Promising review: "I am absolutely in love!! The shape of the highlighter itself makes it so easily glide over the paper. Super smooth. The colors are sooooo beautiful! It’s not often that what you see is truly what you get. I am very satisfied :)" —Sung Han
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two color combinations).
16. A whimsical wireless keyboard and mouse set because clickety-clacking away on emails all day can be made a little more fun with this colorful set. It even features typewriter-inspired round keys for a bit of a vintage flair.
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: "So, I just transitioned to work from home and wanted a cool keyboard for my new workspace. I tried two others, and they worked but I wasn’t 100% happy with the style, shape, nor color. A friend showed me her keyboard, and I fell in love with it. Hers was the pink/colorful option. I immediately went on Amazon and found the purple/lilac color and ordered. I received it today, and I’m so pleased. I love hearing the click-clack sound of keys being hit with my nails, and the weight of the keyboard is nice and heavy — it feels well made. I’m still getting used to the mouse (it’s a wider shape then I’m used to) but it works and matches my keyboard. Now if only I could find a purple monitor, LOL. I highly recommend this keyboard. Happy typing!" —Kimberly Renee
Get it from Amazon for $35.89+ (available in 11 colors).

Promising review: "I work from home at night. I never see the light of day during the winter. This light has been a joy to have and gives great light at my desk to work with [as well as] the benefit of mimicking sun exposure. It’s very easy to use and to replace bulbs." —Amazon Customer

21. A flamingo pool float phone stand so you can keep your phone propped up (and out of your hand) while you work. Plus, it'll add some sweet summery vibes to your workstation.
22. A super handy mini answer wheel if there's no one around to help decided whether to take a nap break. Just spin this wheel and if it lands on "sounds great," well, you have your answer.

Get it from Amazon for $6.19+ (available in eight styles).
24. A silicone keyboard cover that'll not only add a splash of color to your work space but will also help prevent crumbs and dirt from getting in between your keys.
Promising review: "I love this keyboard cover. It has a nice feeling, is very flexible, and fits like a glove on my MacBook Air. It doesn't come off even when I'm moving my laptop around a lot (which I do since I do a lot of work on the sofa or the bed, where I end up in weird positions to be comfortable). I can feel each key individually when I hit them, which is really nice. I also type a lot due to work and school, as well as simply writing in my free time, and this cover has held up the entire time. I haven't seen any signs of wear or fading in the six months I've had it. This is a very durable keyboard — I eat with my laptop all the time, and I've actually spilled coffee on my keyboard once, and nothing happened — it actually kind of kept the liquid there until I could clean it off. I would definitely buy this again if I needed another color." —Sadia Rahman
Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in 22 colors).
25. A set of six floppy disk coasters to help protect your desk from watermarks while also dipping into a fun, nostalgic aesthetic.
26. A set of rainbow heart-shaped shot glasses for that much-needed espresso shot at the beginning of the work day...and maybe even for that much-needed tequila shot at the end.
27. A USB-wired strawberry mouse because maybe this treat-shaped mouse will inspire you to sign off emails with ~sweet~ pleasantries instead of your usual cold "regards."
Promising review: "I use this for my work laptop. I mostly bought it to be cute and kind of as a joke, and especially considering the price, I wasn’t expecting greatness. I’ve had it for a few months now, and I’ve been pretty impressed; it works surprisingly well and glows when you move it! If you have smaller hands, it’s actually kind of the perfect shape, lol. Definitely use it with a mousepad so the bottom doesn’t get banged up over time and for smooth mouse movement. Wish there were more designs like this one. I’d definitely buy more!" —Shannon Farkas
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
28. A felt letter board — set yourself up for success by placing an inspiring motto right at your desk.
Felt Like Sharing is a family-owned small business that offers gorgeous felt letterboards and accessories.
Promising review: "I love, love, looove my felt board! I got it during my sophomore year of college and still use it today as a senior. It is a great decoration to display motivating quotes anywhere in your room. I haven’t had any problems with wear in the two years that I’ve had it. This would also make a great present for someone going into college!" —Madison Bell
Get it from Felt Like Sharing on Amazon for $18.99+ (available in 4 sizes and 27 colors).
29. A folding desk mirror so you can take periodic glances at yourself between emails and remember how dang cute you are! Plus, it'll help you make sure you don't have salad in your teeth before your next Zoom meeting.
Promising review: "I keep it in my desk drawer at work. It is lightweight and folds up flat, which makes it easy to store. It opens up to a nice-sized mirror that easily shows your entire face. I use it to put on my makeup at work when I don't have time at home." —Shanique
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
30. An otter tape dispenser — this darling lil' guy just wants to help you put things together...literally!
Tape not included!
Promising review: "No one is buying this tape dispenser for any purpose other than to look cute on a desk. It definitely does that. It's adorable. Just look at that happy, furry otter face. As a bonus, it also holds tape, which is useful in various situations. It's also very sturdy and isn't likely to go flying when you forcefully grab a piece of tape from it (if you're an aggressive gift wrapper, by chance). This otter tape dispenser is one of the few novelty items that actually does what it's supposed to do. Two paws up." —Bargler
Get it from Amazon for $19.22.
31. An arcane-inspired wireless phone charger because taking your phone from 0% to 100% super quickly is the best kind of magic there is.
This charger works with iPhone 11 and newer and Samsung Galaxy S8 and newer.
Promising review: "Product works great, looks cool, and gives my nightstand a bit of magical flair without being so ostentatious that it keeps me up at night, unlike some other magic circle chargers. As far as I know, the runes mean nothing; the only word I can make out along the outer circle is futharc, which is the name of the Norse rune alphabet and is comprised of the first six letters of said alphabet. Most likely, the rest of the letters are merely the rest of the alphabet in sequence, the literal rune equivalent of 'ABCDEFG', and so on. Overall, a good find. I am satisfied." —Kevin
Get it from Amazon for $40.99+ (available in five styles).
32. A cat-shaped Post-it note holder — this comes with bright pink sticky notes so you can get right to writing those reminders and to-dos.
Promising reviews: "Not only is this holder adorable, but it actually stays in place! I've had other dispensers that would move around or fall over when I grabbed a sticky note from it, which defeated the purpose. Nice to have it work right! Doesn't take up a ton of space either." —Libra Lady 78
Get it from Amazon for $13.49.
33. A super realistic skillet cookie candle that smells the way it looks! Fill your WFH space with the yummy scents of chocolate and marshmallow. If traditional candles just aren't your style, you might just fall in love with this one.
