I love using a footrest at my desk it’s supposed to be good for ergonomics and helps me to avoid having back pain when I’m sitting at my desk too long.

Desk treadmills are a very popular work-at-home item this year. The one I have is foldable and perfect for walking while I work!

It’s so nice to have a soft electric blanket to keep warm while I’m sitting at my desk or enjoying a movie night on the couch. This one has a smart pocket for feet so your toes stay warm too.

Slippers:

While I do try to get fully dressed most workdays and work from a co-working office, there are days that I look forward to staying home and being comfy in yoga pants, a sweatshirt, and a cozy pair of slippers. Give her the gift of a good-quality pair of slippers!

My office is in our finished basement, and sitting for a few hours can get chilly. I love having a soft, cozy throw on my chair to keep me comfy.

Noise-canceling headphones are perfect for blocking out all the distracting noise. They are also super handy if you find yourself working at coffee shops or a shared office – they send a gentle “please don’t interrupt me” signal to people around you.

If you’re looking for something a little higher quality or splurgy – These BOSE headphones are top-rated!

Laptop backpack –

I use a laptop backpack every day. I use a laptop backpack when I’m heading out of the house to work at a cafe and I bring it with me every time I travel. This one is a beautiful sleek leather with plenty of storage for everything you need to work on the go.

I think it would make a great gift for any busy working mom! This would also be an especially thoughtful gift for a new mom returning to work.

My Favorite Water Bottle

It seems like every year, there is a new trendy water bottle, and let’s be honest most people like have a few good water bottles to choose from. My top 3 water bottles have to be:

• The Owala Free Sip (has a sip and straw built in!)
• The Stanley Ice Flow – I like to have the straw covered.
• Iron Flask Bottles

Portable Chargers:

This small portable charger is so handy. Rather than carrying around a big portable charger, this one attaches to your phone so you can carry it around easily and charge your phone while still using it. It’s small enough to keep in a purse or pocket. It’s also a great Christmas gift idea for mom’s stocking.

14K Gold Necklace:

This beautiful Gold Necklace is perfect for everyday wear or for special occasions.

AirPods and a beautiful Airpod Case

I received a pair of these for my 40th birthday and they are amazing! The microphone on them is perfect for those business calls when I’m on the go and I’ve been able to listen to audiobooks and podcasts while driving or shopping. They are fantastic! And yes… I’m a huge Apple Fangirl.
