15 Gift Ideas for Anyone Who Works From Home

Contrary to popular belief, working from home isn't all fun and games. Between distractions, loneliness, and wearing sweatpants six days a week, sometimes remote workers could use a little boost. (I'm a remote worker myself, as are many reviewers on our Gear team!) If you're looking to brighten up your favorite telecommuter's life, this guide is full of birthday gift ideas for all sorts of tastes and budgets.

Be sure to check out our many other buying guides, including our favorite noise-canceling headphones and cheap phones.

We're very biased, but when in doubt, you can also never go wrong with a WIRED magazine subscription!

  Cubii Pro Under-Desk Elliptical

  No matter how you look at it, sitting at a computer for hours on end isn't healthy. Nothing beats some good old-fashioned exercise, and this under-desk elliptical burns calories as well as excuses. It's silent, so the remote worker in your life can pedal without disturbing housemates, or still hear Netflix while they pedal. If the price tag on the Pro is too steep, this version with fewer bells and whistles might be a better fit, and it's $100 less.

  Fully Jarvis Bamboo Standing Desk

  There are lots of standing-desk manufacturers on the market. Fully is our favorite. The Jarvis is a hefty investment, but you won't find a better standing desk. It's sturdy and easy to use, and it has a bunch of customization options that let you add features like height presets or built-in power strips.

  If your giftee would enjoy a standing desk, but you have a tighter budget, this $25 cardboard desktop riser achieves a similar end result.

  Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug

  Coffee is essential, and that goes double for telecommuters. This battery-powered, temperature-controlling mug ensures that every sip is toasty, and the included charging coaster keeps the mug operating all day long. We reviewed an earlier model here on the Gear team and loved it.
