Blue Light Blocking Glasses
During my first full-time internship, my eyes would hurt and feel so heavy after staring at a screen for eight hours a day. I don’t normally wear contacts or glasses, but I this pair of non-prescription blue light blocking glasses and they made a huge difference! They only make things look ever so slightly yellow, and I’ve gotten used to them so I even wear them while photo editing.
Vegan Leather Padfolio
Nothing screams professional like a padfolio to bring to job interviews and networking events! I got my friend Molly one of these for her birthday a couple years ago in college. It came in a nice box and looked kind of fancy! This has pockets to hold your business cards, a whole notepad, copies of your resume, and more! I’m a firm believer that every teenager/young adult should own one of these.
Echo Dot
Alexa makes life easier and can add events to your calendar, tell you about the traffic and weather, play music, set alarms and so many other things. My roommate had one and a smart lightbulb, so we could turn the lamp on and off without going to the corner and manually turning it on, which was super helpful.
A Week of Freshly
Sometimes your friends get too engrossed in their work to eat! Freshly is even faster than Postmates. Freshly’s frozen meals are healthy, individually-portioned, and just take a few minutes in the microwave. There is a wide menu with options for all dietary needs. Dinner=done.
Wireless Mouse
A wireless mouse is great for a friend who only has a laptop! I got one of these Logitech mice years ago and the battery still hasn’t died!
Lumbar Support Pillow
Most people didn’t get to bring their office chairs home, but that’s okay because this lumbar support pillow will fit right over a kitchen chair! Sitting for so long can actually get uncomfortable so this Samsonite memory foam will provide some much-needed relief.
Small Foldable Whiteboard
Who doesn’t like writing on a whiteboard? This one is 16″x12″ and it’s double-sided and can sit up on your desk, no need to attach it to a wall. If you gift this, you definitely need to give them a starter pack of whiteboard markers!
Shoe Dog
This book is a memoir by Phil Knight, the founder of Nike. My friend got this for me for Christmas one year. Personally, I’m an Adidas girl, but the advertising Laura is fascinated by Nike’s global brand power. Phil’s story is very interesting and he writes about his global travel, his friendships, manufacturing issues, doing business in Japan, how they named the company, and so much more. Once you get into it, it’s a captivating story!
Weighted Blanket
Busy brains take a while to settle down. I don’t own this one, but being swaddled under heavy blankets actually does help me get to sleep. This 15 pound weighted blanket will help calm you down and give you the good night’s sleep you need to function at 100% day in and day out.
90-Degree iPhone Charging Cable
Can you have too many phone chargers? I keep them in every bag, my car, everywhere. This one is at a 90-degree angle so your cord won’t bend and the wires won’t pop out.
Pin it!
