If you’re lucky enough to work from home and the powers that be haven’t enforced a 5-day-in-office-work-week to encourage ‘collaboration’, you’re in a perfect spot for at-home desk personalisation. 

Got your own desk in the office? Got a new job? Also lucky, and also able to add some lovely bits to make it look cute and fancy.

So here are our top tips for a joyful desk, whether you WFH or commute most days. If you’re a hot desk office? Tough sh*t. 

Cat Sticky Notes

Who decided to make post-it notes so boring? Even though they’re bright yellow, which usually makes things feel/look happier, these office staples just feel quite sad. 

But THESE kitty sticky notes? Exciting, incredible, fan-cat-stic stationery you can’t get enough of. 

Shaped like a trio of cats in iconic feline positions, they look so much nicer on your desk than a pack of plain, vomit-coloured post-its. 

Born to Yap Mug

Even if you’re working from home, we bet you’re still chatting away. To yourself. Alone. Because there’s nothing else to do.

And you know you simply can’t function without a good coffee/tea/hot drink, so it may as well be in a mug that shows your true character. Just be prepared for if you take it to the office - it WILL be stolen. 

Mushroom Frog Stress Squeezer

Work is stressful, no matter what you do. Know what could help? Squeezing the absolute shit out of a frog. But we’re pretty sure that’s illegal or frowned upon.

So squeeze this Mushroom Frog Stress Squeezer instead. It’s totally legal, super satisfying and helps melt the stress away. Because in life, there’s not mush-room for stress. 

So Matcha To Do List Pad

So Matcha to do, so little-cha time.

If you’re absolutely obsessed with the wonderfully green, instant instagrammable drink, you need this piece of stationery on your desk.

It beats your chaotic Notes app or the back of that council tax letter. 

Sausage Dog Notebook

Your desk needs glitter, and shiny things, and a tiny little happy dog on the front of something you can doodle in. 

Hey look, this has all of those things and more. Well not more, that’s about it, but it’s pretty bloody good. 

Ray of Fucking Sunshine Coaster

Don’t you DARE get mug rings all over your nice desk. Unless you’re working in the office, then you really shouldn’t give a shit. 

This coaster reminds everyone, including you, that you are a shining light of joy and so is your goddamn desk. 

Sunset Ombre Pen

BICs are so boring, they should’ve stuck with making razors because you can’t spark true creativity or draw killer doodles with a boring old pen.

With an ombre pen, though? You’ll create pure magic like you’re a wizard (Harry). 

Barking 9-5 Flipbook

More dogs, your desk needs more dogs.

That’s the only way to add more joy. The rest of this list is totally irrelevant. You just need more dogs. That’s it. 

Magic Mushroom Sharpener

Real magic mushrooms won’t make you very productive unless you can unlock your inner creative mind wizard somehow. 

But this sharpener and eraser duo? Instant creative energy and pure joy. No illegal things required.
