Work from Home Gift Ideas
by Satish Kanwar
VP, Product at Shopify
We might be working from home for the foreseeable future, but we can still send (virtual) foot traffic to small-box stores this shopping season with this gift guide.
Lightweight Terry Crewneck
Balance looking right for work with being comfortable at home with Reigning Champ’s selection of crewnecks, which feel lush but still sharp to wear while working.
Watches
Hodinkee—also known as the watch enthusiast’s happy place. In addition to great content, they also have a wide selection of watches that will help them feel on even when working from home.
Pearl Scale
If you miss your coffee ritual at work, recreate it at home with tools like the Acaia Pearl Scale. Or gift it to a coffee buddy at work who you miss bantering with in the morning.
Single Origin Coffee
Like the tools you use, the beans you brew with are crucial to completing the ritual. Get them shipped, take a deep whiff, and feel like you’re back in the communal kitchen again.
Palo Santo Beard Tonic
Designed to nourish both the beard and the nose it comes with. Put it on for a healthy beard that will earn compliments even through a 9 a.m. scrum call.
Plants
Spending 8+ hours at a desk is daunting for anyone. Invite a little warmth with a plant from ARIUM, whose mission is to demystify and diversify plant-parenting.
Truth Kids Poster
Inspired by the New York Times’ "Truth is Hard" campaign, this poster will make a great gift for new parents and their budding readers.
Rauk Heavy Tumbler
A drink—coffee, whisky, or beer—is a great way to celebrate a work milestone, or just the end of the workweek. Make each sip special with glassware that speaks to the occasion.
Bitters
What punctuation marks are to sentences, bitters are to cocktails. The Crafty Bartender carries a range for old fashioned cocktails and other favourite drinks.
