When I graduated from college, I knew that I wanted a fully remote job. And it took me years to find, but now that I work from home full-time, I’ll be the first to admit to how awesome it can be. You can wake up whenever you want (within reason, of course), rock sweatpants all day, binge watch your favorite Netflix show for the eighth time, and stay home with your dogs all day. Okay, so maybe it’s not that nice, but it’s pretty dang close. And although that does sound great, it also has its disadvantages. There’s no one watching over you to make sure that you get your work done and you don’t have any co-workers to interact with. Not to mention, if you’re not careful, it can be easy to overwork yourself and work late into the night. I’ve been there. I’ve found one of the best ways to maintain a work life balance where I am actually motivated without doing too much is having a home office that I thoroughly enjoy. I want my space to feel warm and inviting so that I want to spend time in it every day. That’s why I use these 37 Amazon items perfect for a home office–and why I’m sharing them with you!

Clear Your Clutter With This Charging Station

It even comes with a notepad for note taking.
These Lightning Cables Won’t Break On You
As mentioned earlier, we all have devices that need charging. Unfortunately, most of the cords that come with the devices are cheap and break pretty easily. But not these. They’re made of braided nylon, so you can bend and twist them without breaking. The six feet length makes using your devices while you charge them easier than ever, too.

Keep Track Of Your Belongings With This SmartTag

That’s why this SmartTag has been such a game changer. It can be attached to keys, wallets, purses, and even pets, and connects to Bluetooth so you can use the app to see exactly where your items are.

With this alarm clock, you can set two different alarms, charge your phone, and keep track of time while you work. It also has volume and brightness settings, and a snooze function. I love using it to help me time block while I work!
Turn Your iPad Into A Computer With This Bluetooth Keyboard
If you’ve got a tablet (or even a mobile phone) that you like to use as a laptop but have a tough time typing on, you’re in luck. This bluetooth keyboard is ultra-slim and ideal for to use with your small devices. All you have to do is connect the keyboard and get typing.

Get A Boost of Energy With This MCT Powder
One of the hardest parts about working from home is maintaining energy levels and staying motivated. It’s something I definitely struggle with.

Plus it comes in a ton of delicious flavors, like pumpkin spice, chocolate, salted caramel, and more.
This DVD/CD Drive Accesses Old Photo CDs With Ease
90s kids, this one’s for you. Feel old yet? I know. Me too. The fact that CDs and DVDs are retro is absolutely mind blowing.

This Multi-Purpose Headphone Headband is Super Comfortable
Let’s be real, regular headphones both over the ear and in ear are uncomfortable after extended periods of time. Yet I love listening to music when I work all day.

Never Forget Again With This Password Book
I used to use the same password for everything that I signed up for. I know what you’re thinking, that’s a terrible idea. That’s why over the past year I’ve slowly started changing them and keeping track of all of these different passwords is a nightmare. Or it used to be, until I got this password book. It helps me keep track of every single password imaginable, so if you ever forget, you can access it in a pinch.
Save Your Electronics With This Surge Protector
Growing up, we used surge protectors all the time. Yet I had no idea what they were for. Now that I am an adult and work from home, I rely heavily on them. If you don’t any yet, then you need to snag this surge protector. It prevents your electrical items from overloading, short circuiting, power spikes, lightning strikes, and more.
This Fire HD 8 Tablet Will Help You Get So Much Done

This Bluetooth Speaker Literally Levitates
Sure, you could get a regular speaker to play your music. Or you could get this bluetooth speaker that quite literally levitates and glows. And if there’s one thing that I know about working from home, it’s that you have to make things as interesting as possible to stay entertained and motivated. And this does just that.
Stay Charged Everywhere With This Wireless Charger
There’s nothing worse than getting caught without a charger when you need it most. While you’re working from, you may be on calls all day long, so having a charged phone is a must. With this wireless charger, you never need to fear your phone dying mid business call ever again.
This Laptop Stand Will Prevent Eye Strain And Neck Pain
You don’t realize how much you need a laptop stand until you have one. Again, that neck pain and eye strain you’re experiencing is probably because of your laptop. So why wouldn’t you want to stop it?
Colorful Noise Headphones Suitable For Kids
If you have a hard time focusing (like me) and are easily distracted, you need music on to help you focus. I love to play relaxing acoustic music or white noise that helps me calm down. And when I listen to these things, I like to use noise-canceling headphones like these. They drown out background noise, so you can turn your attention to your work.
Stereo Sound With This Computer Speaker
Looking for a computer speaker that isn’t large and overbearing yet offers high quality sound? Here it is! It has a built-in microphone, suppresses static and other unwanted noise in order to make your listening experience even better, and it’s super simple to set up.

Do It All With This Dual Adapter
Although most of the world might be using wireless headphones now, not everyone can afford to upgrade. Anyway, people like me just prefer cords as they are less likely to be lost. But when it comes to listening to headphones and charging your phone at the same time, this can cause a bit of a problem. This headphone adapter splits your USB-C port into a USB-C charging port and a 3.5 mm audio jack allowing you to simultaneously charge your phone and use headphones.

Make Your Working Set Up Comfier With This Neck Pillow
Let’s be honest, having perfect posture feels nearly impossible. I am the queen of slouching, which leads to some serious neck and back pain. With this neck pillow, you can say goodbye to the discomfort. It’s filled with a buckwheat filling which is easy to reshape and mold to your neck, so you can sit back and relax for ultimate comfort while you type away.
