So many of us are working from home right now, and while it's an important way to stay safe and healthy, it still provides its own unique challenges. Now that we've been at this for a while, we've found a few ways to ensure a work day is a productive day. Namely, invest in a great coffee maker, change out of your pajamas, and keep your space clean and organized. If you've got a friend working from home, they'll be so grateful for these gifts, and if you're the one whose office is at the kitchen table, browse away!
What are we looking for right now? Well, we want comfy leggings, the perfect slipper, and a wine subscription wouldn't hurt either. Plus, noise-cancelling headphones are kind of a must. Keep on reading to shop our selects!

One of the keys to working from home is getting out of your pajamas; it signifies that you're in work mode. However, that doesn't mean you can't be comfortable. Try these Zella Taryn Luxe Jogger Pants ($75). They're chic enough to leave the house in but still oh so comfy.
A great coffee maker is a must when you work from home. They'll love this Nespresso Vertuo Coffee and Espresso Machine Bundle With Aeroccino Milk Frother ($208, originally $250).
We love a product that does double duty. Not only does this e.l.f. Stay All Day Blue Light Long Lasting Setting Spray ($10) set your makeup, it also protects against blue light, and we all know a few people that have too much screen time.

A vacuum cleaner that cleans the house without help? Sign us up! The iRobot Roomba 650 Robot Vacuum ($249, originally $274) will definitely cut down cleaning time, with a side bonus: it'll be good for their back because they won't have to bend to vacuum those hard-to-reach spots.
