Going from seeing our colleagues daily to interacting with them via Zoom is far from easy. Many of us are still adapting to working from home, and with the pandemic still looming, it will likely be a reality for a few more months.
While there are some benefits (think no commute and working from anywhere), our homes have become our office, gym, and recreation rooms, which poses a unique challenge to our work-life balance. If you are in this situation or know a few friends who feel overwhelmed by it, treat them to some gifts that will make their day-to-day easier.
No need to scratch your head though. I found 31 essential items, so you can just sit back and shop.
