Home Office Essentials
Desk Accessories
Desk accessories can help your father keep his workspace neat and organized while also helping to create a finished look for the space. A desktop organizer can be a great accessory for fathers who struggle to keep the top of their desk organized or regularly find themselves looking for a pen. These organizers make it much easier to keep track of paper clips, pens, and highlighters. Depending on how your father uses his office, you might find it helpful to get desktop accessories that can help organize folders, files, and even magazines. Some fathers might prefer the more classic look of wooden accessories, which can lead you in the direction of Realspace wood desk accessories. Realspace black faux leather desk accessories might be a better fit if your father prefers a more modern look.
Noise-Canceling Headphones
Interruptions are one of the biggest struggles with remote work, particularly when other household members are around. Regardless of the noise source, it can disrupt your dad’s workflow and make it harder for him to get his tasks accomplished. Noise-canceling headphones can help eliminate this challenge. With these headphones, your father may find it easier to focus on the task before him, getting that quiet atmosphere when he needs it most.
Wireless Charging Pad
While gadgets make our daily lives easier, charging several different devices is frustrating. If your father depends on his devices throughout the workday, a wireless charging pad can make an excellent gift. He’ll no longer have to worry about plugging something in and it being out of reach. He can use his wireless charger to position devices where he needs them while they’re still charging.
A Tablet
A tablet can do a wide range of things. It can attach to a keyboard to function like a computer or run on apps so your dad can watch TV, play games, or keep up with work emails. These devices are small and portable, making them a great accessory for a busy professional or retiree. If your dad doesn’t already have a tablet, see if one of these might fit his style and needs.
An Air Purifier
Fresh air is always a good thing. If you find that the air in your father’s office tends to get stuffy or if you notice that he seems to be dealing with allergies, an air purifier can make a great addition. You’ll feel better about the hours he spends in his home office if the air he breathes is cleaner.
A Bookcase
If you notice that your father’s incredible collection of books, magazines, and periodicals has started to look a little haphazard in their organization, a bookcase can make an excellent gift. It can also serve as a space for plants, decorations, and even a printer. Just look carefully at the space he has and take measurements to make sure the bookcase will fit.
A Mouse and Keyboard
If your dad uses a computer, a mouse and keyboard are probably some of his more important accessories. Could they use an upgrade? If so, there are various keyboard and mouse options available. One option might be to go wireless with a wireless keyboard or wireless mouse. This can help eliminate some of the clutter that comes with having wires. There are even wireless keyboard and mouse combos for added convenience.
A Laptop Bag
A laptop bag can offer convenience and comfort. However, you’ll want to consider the size of his laptop and what else he might store in the bag. For example, Chromebook laptops tend to be on the smaller side. If he plans on toting around heavier items, he may benefit from a laptop bag with wheels.
