While it was all beer and skittles in the beginning, many of us are now slightly jaded by this entire remote working regime. Believe us, we were too until we found a whole bunch of ways to keep ourselves productive. How did we make work from home actually work, you ask? It's quite simple really, we spruced up our workplace. So, here's a list of WFH-appropriate gifts that you can get for your loved ones this gifting season.
Let's try to spruce up some home offices, shall we?
One of the many perks of working at home is the liberty of working from any corner you deem perfect. Sitting at one place can be tiring and sometimes even monotonous. Relieving us of that is this sleek wooden, foldable laptop table which comes with an attached drawer (oh, yes). The best part about this table is that you can easily adjust the angle and height of the platform. That's not it, it even has slots for your phones and tablets.
Price: INR 1,999 but currently available for INR 1,299 (If you order via an Amazon Prime account)
Let's be honest, no one likes to work on a messy desk. Apart from being extremely distracting, it is displeasing to look at. Well, not anymore. This Office Organizer from our all-time favourite, Yours Concretely, is made out of concrete and comes in five stunning shades. It's got easy slots for pens, phones, business cards, paperclips and other essentials. Multifunctional in nature these look great on any surface.

A table lamp is an inevitable part of your home office set-up. And it doesn't necessarily have to be a boring one at that. These hand-painted bottle lamps by Wasted are made using recycled bottles. Available in many different shapes and designs, these make for a great source of light and double up as quirky desk decor.

Know a friend who is always busy with those extended Zoom calls? Or a cousin who loves to jam to 90s rock music while working on her upcoming presentation?

Not to forget, no 'wired mess'.
