Promising review: "Absolutely amazing keyboard. The colors are eye-catching and make a drab office pop with color! I am currently the envy of the office. Ladies in the other departments are waiting on their own to come in now after seeing mine. Easy plug/play. It travels between home and office with me. Love the keys on this as well. Sleep mode seems to pop on kinda quickly, but it's nothing bad. Just push a button or click the mouse, and it's on again. I have had mine for about a month now and will not be going back to any other style!" —Nikki Bell

Promising review: "Love the color and size. All of the buttons function properly and are accurate. It came with a free gel pen, and I love that it came with batteries ready to use! I will update if anything changes, but so far, it's working great, and I would definitely purchase it again." —4theloveofmusic

Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in 12 colors).

Let BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes tell you all about it:

"This little beauty is available only from the Logitech store on its own — elsewhere, you can get it as part of a bundle with the G713 wired or G715 wireless mechanical keyboard (also pictured above), which I personally own and use every day for work! The cute cloud rest makes typing all day sooo much more comfortable, and even though I've been using it for a long time now, it still looks as good as the day I got it!"

Get it from Logitech for $19.99.

Promising review: "It was time to declutter the office workroom counters, looking for replacements for the standard wire desktop file folder sorter that we were using to hold various forms. After endless days of looking at wall file folder pockets that were hideously expensive, I stumbled across this and instantly knew my search was over! This item is beautiful on the wall; it lays virtually flat vs. standard wall pockets that protrude. I wish I had more empty walls so I could buy more. And the price can't be beat." —MamaK

Get it from Amazon for $13.88 (available in four color options).

Plus, they come pre-sharpened!

Promising review: "I ordered these from a friend's teacher's wish list so that she could have them for her students when class starts. So let the writing begin, cause one can never have enough pencils and having assorted colors just makes it a bit more fun." —Virginia

I LOVE anything Rifle Paper Co., and they have so many desk organization and office items with beautiful prints and patterns. They have a range of things from file folders and organizers to notepads and calendars. Definitely check them out if your office setup is looking a little drab because their colorful stuff will be sure to bring a smile to your face.

Get it from Rifle Paper Co. for $12.

Promising review: "These are amazing!!! Beautiful colors and the sparkle/shimmer is more than I imagined it would be. Mr Pen did it again! If you don’t have these pens, you need to get them!! Great addition to my journaling supplies!" —FBJH12

Get a set of eight from Amazon for $6.99.

Promising review: "Zero complaints about this calendar from me. I buy it every year, and the colors are so bright and cheery (unless you get the more muted colors, but those are nice, too). Tons of space to write on each little square, and I'm sure I'll continue to buy one every year for eternity." —L H

Get it from Amazon for $48 (available in three color combos).

Promising review: "This was one of my favorite purchases for my work desk. I work from home, so I like to make sure that my workstation feels productive yet still comfortable. Everyone who sees this calendar absolutely loves it. It is easy to write on, the markers work well, and it is easy to see. Also, the moths in my house love it too for some reason." —Sglodde

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two styles).

1801 & Co. is a Minnesota-based, family-owned Etsy shop established in 2016 that specializes in family wall calendars, chore charts, wedding signs, and more.

Promising review: "I love it! I got it so fast after ordering, and it’s perfect. I love the sleek design for my small home office space. I can’t function at work without a dry-erase board, but I couldn’t find any that would look nice in my office space, which is in the corner of my master bedroom! Having functional office space but [that does] not LOOK like an office in the bedroom is challenging, but this acrylic board is PERFECT. The black pen that comes with it is a very nice fine tip and erases without a trace." —Dawn Powell

Get it from 1801 & Co. on Etsy for $24.55+ (available in different thicknesses and sizes as well as three hardware colors).

Promising review: "I have now ordered four sets of these pens. One for my home office, my work office, and my on-the-go office. Most recently, I ordered a set for my wife so she would stop taking mine. These pens are easy to hold; I print a lot of cards and write a lot of short stories. Love the colors. My co-workers make fun that I take each day's notes in a different color. It makes sense to me. Great pens; I will order them again!" —Michael-Jay Williams

Get a set of 18 from Amazon for $6.99 (also available in a 24-pack or a 36-pack).

Promising review: "Probably the first and only of its kind. This is brilliant, perfect, and I should know, having spent the last 50 of my 70 years on earth as a secretary. There will always be a need for correction ‘pens’, etc. The design is brilliant (yes, I’m repeating myself) and so easy to use. Then there’s that clip that lets you advance the tape and retract it. I work for my husband scheduling hundreds of appointments and rescheduling appointments. So this is a necessity and makes my life so much easier. Do they have Pulitzer Prizes for people who invent such amazing products? I’d vote." —Eileen

Each planner comes with 50 tear-off sheets the size of a standard piece of paper.

Bliss Collections is a family-owned, Wisconsin-based business established in 2012 that specializes in stationery, planners and pads, and drinkware.

Promising review: "These daily planning sheets keep this mama on TRACK! I started out printing daily planning and schedule sheets from a free download on my computer. Then I realized why not just buy some already printed so I save my ink at home. I found these and love how the day, schedule, tasks, and health habits are organized. I've already reordered once and will continue to use these." —Shannon Hoglund

Unicorn Eclipse is a small business owned by two sisters who make extremely cute stationery, planners, stickers, decor, and more! Get a closer look at some of their planner notepads on TikTok.

HuffPost Shopping writer Haley Zovickian says: "It would be an understatement to say that I'm obsessed with this shop. I am head over heels entranced with this shop. Their lo-fi, nostalgic style brightens up my workspace so much and really helps encourage me to stay organized – because I love looking at and using their stationery! I also just appreciate the sense of whimsy and fun that their products add to what can otherwise be stressful work days or daunting tasks; the graphics on their planner pads help me stay more positive and more on top of my work in general. TL;DR: These are a ray of sunshine that any desk worker or organizing buff would be incomplete without."

Get them from Unicorn Eclipse on Etsy for $12 each.

Promising review: "I absolutely love this desk pad! The sky blue color is beautiful and adds a pop of color to my workspace. The nonslip feature works great, keeping my mouse and keyboard in place as I work. The waterproof PVC leather material is easy to clean and has protected my desk from spills and scratches. The size is perfect for my desk and provides ample space for my laptop and other accessories. Overall, I highly recommend this desk pad for anyone looking to add both style and functionality to their workspace." —Tiara

Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in 17 colors and four sizes).

Promising review: "Bought this fan for an office space. It is cute, has three speeds, and is the perfect size. For its smaller size, this fan is decent quality and produces quality airflow. I would buy again. It is USB powered, so I plugged it in directly into the computer, or if it suits you better, it can be plugged into a separate block and can be plugged into the wall." —Lea Shmeling

Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in two colors).

Promising review: "I like this tape dispenser. The color is really beautiful, and it looks nice on my desk. I bought it to use in flat lays and to hold washi tape. The washi tape roll fit perfectly, and it does a good job of cutting it, though you do need to be paying attention since it doesn't tear as easily as regular scotch tape. Overall, great value for the look and function you're getting." —Anita

Get it from Amazon for $8.28+ (available in four colors).

Promising review: "I absolutely love looking for unique stationery items — so, I was happy to find something that also combined my love for coffee too. The item came exactly as described, and the packaging (and themed designs on the pens) was adorable. Each pen (and one highlighter), for six items total, had a lovely ink flow and wrote smoothly on the different paper selections depending on the type of pen used. These would also make a lovely gift for anyone who enjoys stationery items." —Meli Mel

This set comes with 25 pieces and endless ways to organize!

Promising review: "Organize away!! These are great for organizing desks, bathrooms, kitchen, etc. I like that you can see into them. I also really like the sticky dots that you place on the bottom to keep it from sliding around when you open the drawers." —murdochsc

Get it from Amazon for $18.49+ (available in five colors).

This little booklet comes with 410 sticky notes that are dotted, lined, and unmarked as well as a fine tip pen. Some sticky notes are opaque, while others are transparent!

Promising review: "One of those items I didn’t know I needed until I had it. As a busy mom of two little ones, I can’t even remember the last time I got to finish a hot cup of coffee. Until now! This truly kept my coffee warm for literal hours. And I love the wood grain look of it. It’s nice and doesn’t look cheap at all. I’m going to keep it on my desk for when I’m working, and I’ll never go without hot coffee again!" —ADR80

Get it from Amazon for $23.29+ (available in eight colors).

Promising review: "This is just as good if not better than a Scentsy diffuser! I have had a Scentsy diffuser for like 10 years now and decided I wanted a new diffuser for work, but was not willing to spend $150 on one from Scentsy. This is perfect in my office. It is absolutely beautiful, and I love that it’s ceramic, so it looks very elegant. People come into my office complementing how nice it smells." —Anyeliz P.

Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in three sizes and two colors).

Promising review: "I was tired of searching for my chargers behind my desk! I use chargers for my phone, keyboard, mouse, and backup battery, and they always fall behind my desk when I disconnect from the device. This is exactly what I needed to keep the charging cable within reach, especially since I use it all day for various items. Really like the neutral color options, so they are not an eyesore, and it adds a little texture to my desk decor." —Valerie Jacobs

Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in six colors and two sizes).
