Fall-inspired lights you’ll find it very hard to *leaf* behind, bedazzled push pins, cloud shaped box cutters, and so much more.
1. A buildable Lego cherry blossom you can assemble and then admire at your desk, even if there’s zero natural light in your cubicle. Actually, it’ll pretty nice not having to ask Susan from Accounting to (inevitably forget) to water your foliage during vacation.Â
2. A floral-inspired dimmable candle-warmer lamp you can safely use to bring the scent of your favorite candle to your workspace (no flames necessary). An added bonus — the candle will last waaaaay longer since it’s not actually burning down!
Promising review: “I bought this on a whim, and I’m hooked. I love the timer and dimmer features. So far, the lamp works great. It doesn’t put out a lot of heat and I love that you can adjust the light. This is now going to be my go-to gift.” —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $29.98 (available in 10 styles).Â
3. A mini waving inflatable tube man that’ll make you want to throw your hands up in the air and yell “WOOHOO!”
Promising review: “I opened the package and screamed for joy! As I placed the 9-volt battery, my hands were trembling with what was going to happen next! As I turned on the wacky waving inflatable tube man, I knew I had a friend for life. Someone you can really count on to cheer you up when you are feeling down. He brought me such joy I started to cry with laughter and happiness.” —Robert Wurstner
Get it from Amazon for $8.58.
4. A NeeDoh Nice Cube, a must-have sensory fidget toy for anyone who can’t seem to get their brain to focus on one task at a time (too many tabs open both literally and figuratively!). This lil’ squish block is super satisfying to play with and reviewers love that it isn’t sticky (no gross debris to try to clean off).
Schylling is a small business that specializes in modern and retro toys, games, and sets.Â
Promising review: “High quality and very durable! This cube is fantastic for any age and any need. The cube provides slight resistance when compressed, which is both stress-relieving and satisfying!!! Once squeezed, it quickly returns to its natural shape. A great choice!” —Joe stevenson
Get it from Amazon for $8.70Â (the color is either blue, pink, or purple and gets selected for you at random)!
5. An Elle Woods Funko Pop! figure that’ll have you saying, “What? like it’s hard?” while you peruse emails with her on your desk as your sidekick.
6. A Post-it note holder complete with a vibrant pack of hot pink notes you’ll exclaim is “purrrrfect” the second you see it IRL. You can use ’em to jot down ideas or, you know, pass silly messages to your work bestie during meetings that most certainly could’ve been an email.
And don’t forget to stock up on your Post-it notes!
Promising reviews: “Not only is this holder adorable, it actually stays in place! I’ve had other dispensers that would move around or fall over when I would grab a sticky note from it which defeats the purpose. Nice to have it work right! Doesn’t take up a ton of space either.” —Libra Lady 78
Get it from Amazon for $13.40.
7. A portable Bluetooth retro-style keyboard that’ll replace the clunky one you received when you first started your job — this one is as cute as it is practical and can be used on the go.
Promising review: “I’ve been seeing retro-style typewriter keyboards on TikTok for a while now. I aways thought, ‘That looks pretty cool!’ Decided to look on here and found this one. I just got it today and so far has been working great! I had no problems connecting the keyboard via Bluetooth, and the clicking of the keys is really nice, one of the reasons why I wanted to get this.” —dee
Get it from Amazon for $32.99+Â (available in 11 colors).Â
8. A dimmable sad duck night-light guaranteed to bring a smile to your face each time you glance down at it. He’ll not-so-happily become your daily desk companion. (We all need one, honestly.)
Amazon
Promising review: “I ordered this lamp because of its appearance. I didn’t NEED a depressed duck lamp … but it has totally filled a void in my life I didn’t know existed. Everyone who sees it pokes it. The lamp is actually very functional. It’s got a really nice set of brightness options and the glow is yellowish, which is much nicer than white in a dim/dark room. One thing that isn’t mentioned in the description is that its legs are utterly floppy. It’s terrific.” —Literated
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.
9. A special edition set of Schitt’s Creek Little People Figures featuring Moira, David, Johnny, and Alexis with a box styled to look just like the Rosebud Motel — a must-have if you haven’t been able to get “A Little Bit Alexis” out of your head since 2019.
Amazon

Get it from Amazon for $21.10.

Promising review: “The lights and leaves on this are so beautiful. They are excellent quality — I have had no leaves fall off like another reviewer stated.

Check it out in this adorable desk setup from @kailacottage.
Promising review: “Cute, cute, cute! This is one of the cutest nightlights ever! Not only does it change colors; it can be controlled remotely and changed in a variety of colors and effects, from flashing to slowly fading from one color into another, or if desired, one constant color to match any decor. The brightness can also be adjusted. And the wood base gives it more than the look of a toy; it is perfectly classy.” —roika
Get it from Amazon for $26.99.
13. Retro-inspired notepads that aren’t sticky, so you can quickly write down a reminder to pick up milk on the way home and throw it into your bag without fear of it coming out covered in crumbs and debris. Gross.
These are a popular pick on TikTok — you can get a closer look at them here!
Promising reviews: “They are so cute. Will be purchasing again! Giving my office area character, color, and good vibes. Happy customer!!!” —Capri
“These aren’t sticky notes, just memo pads so if you’re looking for sticky notes, you might want to pass on these. However, these are SO CUTE! They come in five different styles that are all well printed. The colors are great, and the paper is good. Not super thin or anything. There’s a good number of each design in the pad, so I feel like the quality and value is definitely there. I am now using these on the daily! 10/10 love these!!” —Mary M.

18. A Taylor Swift Little Golden Book adults and kiddos alike will cherish, I’d be remiss not to say it’s “the best thing that’s ever been mine.” The illustrations are gorgeous and it’ll look so cute on display in your home.
Heather Braga / BuzzFeed
I have this book (as pictured above) and by that I mean the second I saw it available for pre-order I added it to my cart faster than you could say “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.” As the parent of a 2-year-old, I have many Little Golden Books in my home. However, this one is just STUNNING. I’m a big fan of Taylor (obviously) but was really enamored by how beautiful the pages are. I was so excited to read this lil’ biography with my son and teach him a little more about someone I adore. (Which it does a great job of doing in a pared-down way!) It’s a short book, looks cute on my desk, and is a hit for bedtime story time. What more could you want???
Get it from Amazon for $4.78.
19. A brilliant pen holder that’ll have the Shakespeare fan in your life stifling a laugh when they see it — it would also just be a great gift for your coworker who loves quoting “We should totally just stab Caesar!” a la Mean Girls.Â

BuzzFeed editor Jenae Sitzes loves hers! You can read more on why it’s one of her favorite pieces of desk decor here.
Promising reviews: “I actually impulsively purchased this because I saw it on TikTok. I have had it for a little over a month now, and it is actually the best item I have purchased in a while. I admit, there is a slight learning curve when setting it up because there is not a clear-cut instructions guide for all of the features, but once you figure it out, it’s so worth it. It is really multifunctional and you can customize it to your liking. I really love the mini games feature on here, like Tetris and Snake, because they all bring back childhood memories for me. My favorite part is the fact that it works as a speaker and when I play music, I can have little videos sync to the music. Who knew a tiny little speaker could bring me so much joy. It is a bit pricy though, but it is just so cute. If you’re looking for a sign to buy this, here’s your sign.” —Khuyen Nguyen
Get it from Amazon for $99.99 (available in five colors).

32. A Rifle Paper Co. retractable measuring tape featuring the prettiest floral pattern you ever did see — so pretty, in fact, you’ll want to keep it on display at your desk all the time.
Amazon
I actually do have this out on my desk. TBH, I use it more as a fidget toy than to measure things. You pull the measuring tape out then press a hidden button in the middle of the dispenser to retract it back. It’s rather soothing, if I do say so myself.
Get it from Amazon for $22+Â (available in three styles).
