What do you get someone who works from home?
Upgrades for the hours they spend at the desk: a mug warmer, video light, wrist rest, lumbar pillow or noise-canceling headphones.
What is a good work from home gift under $25?
A mug warmer, desk mat, wrist rest, cable organizer or a nice notebook all land under $25 and get used daily.
