Can you believe it? It has been nearly a year that we have been working from home and Zooming into the classroom. I’d say, if you haven’t already, it’s time to invest in some items that will improve your at home office. 

 

Cleaning Gel for Keyboards 

  • This product reminds me a lot of the slime that came in those short clear tubes you would get from the store. This gel however is intended to get all the dust and crumbs out of those hard to reach places. To use it take out the gel from its container, roll it into a ball and slowly roll it over your keyboard. I am a huge desk snacker, so this guy is a savior when it comes to picking up the crumbs left throughout the day. 

Blue light glasses 

  • In my opinion, blue light glasses are a must! They protect your eyes from the negative effects of blue light, such as eye fatigue, blurred vision and headaches. They are a game changer when it comes to long days in front of a screen. Using blue light glasses when you are on your laptop or scrolling on your phone can even help you get better sleep at night! 

Pillow tablet stand

  • Is your hand getting tired from holding your phone or tablet? Then this is the perfect product for you. This soft, foam stand is perfect for when you are sitting and working on the couch or reading on your tablet while you are laying in bed. It is so comfortable and most of them allow you to flip the pillow to adjust the angle of the screen to the  lying down or sitting up position you are in. The product is the perfect present for a friend or treat for yourself!

Hercules Tuff Charging station 

  • If you are anything like me, all of your devices seem to run out of battery at the same time! The charging station has six 2.4-amps ports that can charge up to six devices at the same time. Another added bonus are the dividers that separate each device, keeping the cables in line and from tangling with one another. Most Apple, Samsung, Google and Amazon Kindle products are compatible. 

Coffee Mug Warmer 

  • There is nothing quite like a hot cup of coffee to get you through a rough class or a long work day. These warmers fit right onto your desk and keep your drink at the perfect temperature. No need to throw your mug in the microwave every 30 minutes. Get this guy and your drink will be ready for sipping all day long.
