If someone in your life needs a home office upgrade (that includes yourself!), you've come to the right place. WIRED's Gear team has been working remotely well before the pandemic made it a thing. And as WIRED's resident home office product reviewer, I've been churning through dozens of standing desks, office chairs, monitors, and other desk accoutrements for more than five years.

Whether you're tired of your loved one working at the kitchen table and complaining about how much their wrist hurts or you want to treat them, I've got several work-from-home gift ideas that can make remote work even sweeter. Check out my Ultimate Work-From-Home Gear guide for more recommendations.

Updated December 2025: We've added the Craighill Desk Knife, Gantri Analog Task Light, Logitech MX Master 4, Keychron Q6 HE, Elgato Wave Mic Arm Pro, BenQ ScreenBar Halo 2, Genki Moonbase, reMarkable Paper Pro Move, Craighill Jack Puzzle, Ergonofis Desk Accessories Set, Dell 27 Plus 4K, Speks Odds, and Sony WH-1000XM6.

Craighill

Desk Knife

I'm often opening letters and boxes at my desk, and too often I'm reaching for a pen or something other than an actual cutting tool and making a mess. Just get them Craighill's Desk Knife. This weighty stainless steel knife feels wonderful to hold and cuts well. If you want to give them a safe way to store it, consider tossing the Desk Knife Plinth into your cart so they can keep their desktop scuff-free.

Gantri

Analog Task Light

Gantri's 3D-printed lamps are made with plant-based polymers, and there is a dizzying array of options to choose from. The Analog Task Light is one of my favorites—especially in the orange color with the yellow accent. However, you can completely of the light—Gantri has tons of choices, so you can personalize your desk lamp to your giftee's taste. They can rotate the cube to shine light wherever it's needed, and the E12 bulb is replaceable.
