Great Christmas gifts for homeworkers this winter

What Christmas gifts do you buy for the person who has everything? Well, if that person works from home, there’s a whole host of new office Christmas gift ideas that you can tap into to make their time at work more comfortable, enjoyable and all ‘round more convenient. We’ve pulled together a selection of gift ideas at various price points so you can find a Christmas present for that special someone, whatever your budget.

Gifts under £400

If you’re feeling flush and want to impress that special someone with an office gift that will transform their days, a height-adjustable desk will, look impressive under the Christmas tree and deliver when it comes to pound per use. Doctors and osteopaths recommend a sit/stand desk to avoid the impact that our sedentary office jobs have on our health. After just 20 minutes of sitting our heart rate begins to slow, the oxygen to our muscles and our brain reduces and our metabolism – the speed at which we break down foods decreases. By interchanging sitting and standing throughout the day we not only avoid the effects of this more sedentary lifestyle, but we also improve our core muscles which can help guard against injuries. Check out our online desk builder to create the perfect standing desk for the space you have.

Gifts around £200

An ergonomic chair is a perfect gift for those looking to spend around £200. Not only does it say that you care about their comfort, but it can also help avoid joint and back pain issues from sitting incorrectly all day at a desk. Available from just £202+VAT, the Eliot Plus operator chair is fully adjustable for maximum support and comfort and is available in 8 different colours, so you’re bound to find one that suits your space.  If your budget doesn’t stretch quite this far, other operator chairs are available. Take a look at our full range of operator chairs here.

Another gift idea for the cable-adverse home worker is a vertical power tower -also known as a free standing power module. This enables even the most cable-adverse of home office workers to keep their cables tidy with a single, freestanding tower which can house up to 3  3-pin plugs. These start at around £132.50+VAT but discounts are available for multiple purchases.

Gift ideas under £100

For those who are already committed to our magnetic kitchen storage systems, there are plenty of great gift options including plant pots and knife blocks, but our magnetic wooden spice rack would delight any keen chef.  It looks good, saves space and comes in at just £45 +VAT.

The magnetic wine glass holder is also a great option for any wine lovers and, at just £46.39+ VAT, this little gift comes in well below the £100 threshold. It looks sleek and stylish, holds three glasses and is a great way to show off your glassware.
