We’re sprinkling some ~petals~ of productivity with these office finds that are fresher than a daisy. 🌸
1. Some decorative prismatic window film that’ll let natural light stream in and cover your office with gorgeous rainbows while still maintaining the utmost privacy. Now you can get up from your chair while wearing the “Zoom ‘fit” (collared shirt up top, undies or boxers on the bottom) without a care in the world.
Promising review: “I can’t tell you how surprised and delighted we were at the rainbow effect this film has. I bought it to make a window overlooking the street more private, and I thought I would appreciate seeing the rainbow colors on the window itself. But then when the light was shining on it at the right angle, it cast these beautiful rainbow colors on the wall. So I bought a second roll to put on one of our master bedroom windows that overlooks our neighbor’s patio so I don’t have to draw the curtains. In the morning now, the light comes in at just the right angle to pass through the rainbow prism and cast beautiful rainbow colors on the wall. And the bed. And the cat.” —J. B.

2. Or a pair of crystal ball suncatchers requiring zero installation — just hang them in a sunny nook and watch these little beauties catch golden rays and sprinkle vibrant rainbows all around your space.
Promising review: “I love prisms, and was surprised to find a set online for such a good price. I ordered one as a Christmas gift for my daughter, and was delighted to see it arrive beautifully packaged with fishline for hanging and a microfiber cloth for cleaning. Since then I have ordered three more sets as gifts! My infant granddaughter loves to chase the rainbows the prisms make across the room.” —Maggie W. Rowe
Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.38.
3. A pastel wireless keyboard and mouse set ready to brighten up your workspace and help you tackle daily tasks. This keyboard features charming retro keys that make every keystroke a joy thanks to their satisfying ‘click-clack’ sound. And according to reviewers, calling the setup “easy” would be an understatement — simply plug the USB into your computer, and you’re ready to go.
The set includes a wireless keyboard and a wireless mouse with a USB receiver. Pick up some AA batteries — both will need them!
Promising review: “Was a gift to our daughter who works from home; she loves the multi colors. Not to mention the fact that PURPLE is her favorite color. Very easy to use and brightens up the workday. 💜” —Sheila Gunter
Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in 12 styles).
4. A cheery cloud-shaped wrist rest with some memory foam magic to support your wrists during those long typing sessions. Talk about comfort that’s on cloud nine.
Promising review: “Perfect for my setup! Doesn’t slip and slide on the desk. Great support for wrists. Super cute!” —Taylor
Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in 11 colors).
5. A rainbow productivity timer — as this charming rainbow gradually unveils itself (accompanied by a smiley cloud pal who’s there to cheer you on), it’ll show how much time you’ve got left to tackle whatever’s on your plate. Whether it’s zipping through emails, making important calls, or even granting yourself a well-deserved Instagram scroll for that quick mental refresh, this tool is your go-to for keeping things balanced.
Promising review: “We use for time management and the visual timer is very helpful. Plus it’s super cute! Definitely worth it.” —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in five colors).
6. Impressively real-looking faux tulips that might trick people into thinking they’re plucked from a garden. These artificial flowers are made out of a silky material that mimics the look and feel of real flower petals. The best part: They never need water and will stay “alive” and beautiful forever.
Promising review: “Gorgeous artificial flowers!! Perfect for those of us who are allergy-riddled floral enthusiasts. I use them for seasonal and holiday decorating, as well as homemade gifts for my family and friends. I love the careful attention to detail, particularly how random leaves appear to have ‘dirt’ as if freshly picked right from the garden. Really appreciate a quality allergy-free floral option.” —Jen M
Get them from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sets of 20 or 28 and in tons of color combos).
7. An ah-dor-able and adjustable bunny ear phone holder to provide the perfect angle when answering video calls or looking at notifications on your screen. It also has an opening to string your phone charger through so it can charge while mounted.
Promising review: “Oh I didn’t think that I would use my phone stand every day but I actually use it every day to watch movies at work. It sits on my desk and I’m able to work and keep it charged on the stand and watch movies whenever I want. This stand is amazing. The quality is really good. It’s not flimsy; it’s very sturdy. Also, I love how you can adjust it to be shorter or taller because I’m tall, and I like when things are in my eye view, so I love that you’re able to extend the phone holder to your liking.” —Layleen P
Get it from Amazon for $16.69 (available in five colors).
8. A garden-inspired candle to envelop your office with dreamy floral aromas so you can enjoy the scents of spring even if you’re stuck inside all day. It’s the perfect way to wake up and literally smell the roses.
Otherland
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Heather Braga is a huge fan of Otherland candles: “I’ve been burning them in my home for years and, honestly, cannot get enough of them. I’ve given tons of them as gifts as well, and everyone has always raved about how much they love them. They each have a burn time of 55 hours, are made of a coconut and soy wax blend, contain a cotton wick, and are hand poured in the USA.”
Promising review: “I have bought several candles and they are amazing. They burn so well and their scent throw is perfect. I continue to purchase these candles because I am proud to have them burning in my home, not only for my enjoyment, but to give as gifts as well. Love them.” —Donna Miner
Get it from Otherland for $36 (available in six scents).
9. Along with a whimsical dimmable candle warmer lamp so you can enjoy your favorite scents without ever striking a match or having an open flame. It comes with a timer and a shutoff function for an extra layer of safety. And the cherry on top? It looks like a beautiful lily of the valley.
Amazon
Promising review: “This is a beautiful candle warmer, and it works splendidly. I would recommend that anyone looking for a candle warmer that warms from a heating lamp get this one as long as they love the flower look. I do!” —reader
Get it from Amazon for $29.98+ (available in seven styles).
10. A light-up rain cloud essential oil diffuser sure to make even the most chaotic workdays feel a bit more serene with its gentle pitter-patter of raindrops mingling with the sweet scent of your favorite essential oils. Reviewers can’t get enough of how calming the color changes and sounds of trickling water are. (Plus, both of those settings are adjustable!)
Promising review: “I love this thing. I have anxiety and insomnia, and I need background noise to function/sleep. This little desktop fountain is SO SOOTHING, both aesthetically and the sound of the little raindrops. If I’m in the room with it, it’s probably on. If you love the sound of rain this is for you. Because I’m paranoid and I want this to last, I run it with plain distilled water and I have not used essential oils with it even though they say it’s fine. It’s very dry here right now, and I still only have to top up the water every few days, even with it running daily. It’s a solid 12/10 from me.” —Violet
Get it from Amazon for $39.90 (when you clip the $5 off coupon).
11. The most precious caterpillar cord organizer buddy designed with seven slots ready to corral your messy desk into organized bliss one charging cable at a time.
Promising review: “He is perfect and pure and good and has never done anything wrong in his whole life. Somehow at least like 53 times cuter in person??? Also does a great job holding all my cables because of course he does. 10/10 would buy this good good boy again.” —Jennii
Get it from Amazon for $6.74.
12. A nonslip kawaii desk pad depicting a charming little scene of a flower shop, bakery, and café, each so adorable you’ll find yourself daydreaming about leaving work and taking a leisurely stroll through them. Not only does this protect your desk from scratches and spills, but it can double as a mouse pad too.
Amazon
Promising review: “This mat is beautiful! Just as advertised — it covers and protects my desk while looking adorable. The mat feels high quality, the print is clear, and adds just the right amount of thickness. With this, I do not need a separate mouse pad, which helps save space. I’m very pleased with the value of this mat.” —MSDubya
Get it from Amazon for $18.99.
13. A set of vibrant fine point pens that are super precise and won’t bleed through thin paper, perfect for color-coding notes OR mindlessly doodling little flowers all over your planner when your brain has had enough for the day.
Oh, and they’ve got over 77,000 5-star ratings!
Promising review: “These really don’t bleed/show too badly through college-ruled or lined paper (or regular printer paper), and I LOVE them for schoolwork. They’ve made my life so much easier and prettier! They glide much more easily than regular pens. I also love that they seem to never dry out despite the fact that I’ve been using them for at least two weeks now and have left the most-used black marker open for several long periods already. I’ve come back to still find plenty of ink and no change in the writing ability. I think these are great-quality pens and definitely worth the purchase.” —Nattylight
Get a set of 18 from Amazon for $7.99 (also available in a pack of all black).
14. Plus, a set of pastel highlighters because all of your writing utensils should be adding a sprinkle of spring’s soft palette to your space. Loads of reviewers who’ve tried them love how these glam up their desks and say that they don’t bleed through the pages.
Promising review: “These highlighters go great with my minimalist stationery in my bedroom. The colors are lighter than your average highlighter which makes it much easier on the eyes. I love the variety of colors and I definitely recommend this for anyone trying to lighten up their stationery.” —Hassfam
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two sets of colors).
15. A mini mushroom desk vacuum, aka the cutest little helper you didn’t know you needed. This lil’ shroom can quickly whisk away all the dust, eraser shavings, and lingering crumbs from your mid-day munchies.
Make sure to grab some AA batteries as well!
Promising review: “Love this because I can use it for eraser shavings at my cubicle, and not disturb others around me. It’s got some volume, but not so much I’m worried about using during my work day. It’s cute so it belongs on my desk, and I’ve had this product already for a little while now, and haven’t ever had to change the batteries :)” —Zac
Get it from Amazon for $13.59.
16. An adorable flower pillow that’s not just a treat for the eyes but also comfy support for your bum or lower back, especially during those endless hours spent in your work chair. It comes in a rainbow of colors and a variety of sizes, allowing you to dial into your perfect level of springtime whimsy.
Promising review: “I bought these pillows to liven up my office space. They are whimsical and fun. The larger pillows would be great to set on the floor and sit with children or pets! Love these.” —lovetoread
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in 17 colors and three sizes).
17. A silicone keyboard cover ready to give your laptop a vibrant makeover while also shielding it from the inevitable crumbs and grime that sneak in between the keys.
Promising review: “I love this keyboard cover. It has a nice feeling, is very flexible, and fits like a glove on my MacBook Air. It doesn’t come off even when I’m moving my laptop around a lot (which I do since I do a lot of work on the sofa or the bed, where I end up in weird positions to be comfortable). I can feel each key individually when I hit them, which is really nice. I also type a lot due to work and school, as well as simply writing in my free time, and this cover has held up the entire time. I haven’t seen any signs of wear or fading in the six months I’ve had it. This is a very durable keyboard — I eat with my laptop all the time, and I’ve actually spilled coffee on my keyboard once, and nothing happened — it actually kind of kept the liquid there until I could clean it off. I would definitely buy this again if I needed another color.” —Sadia Rahman
Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in 22 colors).
18. A cloud-shaped utility knife if you’re someone who’s constantly battling a mountain of packages or a flood of envelopes and letters. This little cloud will slice through tapes, seals, or whatever you need with ease and swiftness. Plus, you can spare your freshly manicured nails.
Amazon
Promising review: “I love these — sturdy, sharp with retractable blade. I keep them in different rooms for opening packages or breaking down boxes to recycle. Would recommend and buy again.” —Amy Yasneski
Get a set of six from Amazon for $13.99.
19. A sunflower mug and coaster set for making your mornings a bit brighter and embracing that precious 10 minutes of uninterrupted peace while you drink your cup of joe.
Promising review: “I bought this completely on a whim, and it was totally worth it. Adorable cup, a lot bigger than I expected it to be! I haven’t put anything in it yet, so I can’t say whether or not it stains, but it’s still very cute regardless.” —AEL
Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in five colors and a set of four).
20. A bamboo plant stand — just because you’re cooped up inside doesn’t mean we can’t bring a bit of nature to you. It’ll be your personal exhibition space for all those leafy friends you’ve lovingly nurtured. With spring breathing new life into the world outside, what better time to give your indoor garden a little upgrade?
Promising review: “I decided to get this shelf as a plant stand and I’m so happy I did! All in all assembly took around five minutes, and the instructions were very straightforward. The shelf as a whole has a very slight wobble to it when standing by itself on a flat smooth surface, but when placed against a wall or railing there is no wobble at all. If you are planning to use this shelf as a plant stand I would highly recommend flipping the shelves upside down for assembly, this gives you a lip on the outer edge of the shelves so things are less likely to slide off or tip over during heavy winds.” —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $42.99+ (available in two colors and two sizes).
21. A flexible power strip with the ability to swivel and twist so it can fit perfectly into even the smallest of spaces, ensuring your workspace remains uncluttered and harmonious. It’s available in white or three pastel shades for a refreshing pop of color!
Promising reviews: “Sooo useful!! If you have lots of plugs with bulky adapters that won’t fit on a regular power bar, then you need this. Thought it felt a little light or flimsy when opened, but not at all, does the job fantastically, keeps cables neat and powered, plus looks great. Also, there is a deep push power button on the bar, which has a blue light — so much better than a switch, as the switch can easily turn off if a wire pulls against it etc., which used to happen a lot with regular power bars I used. Very impressed with design, quality and function — highly recommend for convenience, practicality, and aesthetics.” —Janice Robson
Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in four colors).
22. A cozy velvet swivel chair designed with a curved backrest that hugs you just right, making those long hours much more comfortable. Plus, its vibrant touch will brighten up your office and lift your mood.
Promising review: “Looks amazing. Love this chair in red! It is not only aesthetically pleasing but also very comfortable to sit on for over 8 hours. I will use it for work daily at home, however, it is also a perfect fit as a dressing chair, a reading chair, or a place for taking a rest. Its price is unbelievably affordable compared to similar products at stores. Last but not least, the overall design is great and looks much better than the picture. Fast shipping, assembled it in 15 minutes, elegant and high quality feeling. So, highly recommend; don’t miss this lovely addition to your home.” —Colt
Get it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in six colors).
23. A USB-wired strawberry mouse that looks almost good enough to nibble on. This charming piece of tech is a delightful twist on the ordinary, adding a pop of fun to your desk. It’s so playful, it might even inspire you to leave a berry sweet sign-off at the end of your emails instead of the standard “regards.”
Amazon
Promising review: “I use this for my work laptop. I mostly bought it to be cute and kind of as a joke, and especially considering the price, I wasn’t expecting greatness. I’ve had it for a few months now, and I’ve been pretty impressed; it works surprisingly well and glows when you move it! If you have smaller hands, it’s actually kind of the perfect shape, lol. Definitely use it with a mousepad so the bottom doesn’t get banged up over time and for smooth mouse movement. Wish there were more designs like this one. I’d definitely buy more!” —Shannon Farkas
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
