Home Office Basics

LNEKEI Blue Light Blocking Glasses

Your home is now your office, your classroom, and your playground. Everyday we are surrounded by screens and artificial light. It’s time to protect those eyes! The LNEKEI Blue Light Blocking Glasses give UV protection and reduce glare, giving your fatigued eyes a much needed break. Unlike other blue light blocking glasses that are made of hard plastic, these glasses are made of a lightweight composite material that is durable and comfortable. This will result in less headaches, a better night’s sleep, and fewer trips to the doctor!

BUBM Desk Pad Protector

Now that work, school, and home are no longer separate, there is a higher risk of shorter breaks and longer work days. This means we need to protect against repetitive use injuries such as tendinitis and carpal tunnel syndrome that might occur from overuse and strain. A cushioned desk pad gives you protection as it stabilizes your wrist while you type away at your computer, move your mouse, or check your little one’s homework. The BUBM Desk Pad Protector tops the list of many options because of its non-slip grip.

Everlasting Comfort Seat Cushion

Sitting on hard surfaces for long periods of time can cause intense back pain from pressures experienced on the spine and eventually lead to more serious problems. A seat cushion offers a budget friendly way to transform any chair into an ergonomic office chair. Unlike many seat cushions, the Everlasting Comfort Seat Cushion features a design with heat responsive technology that allows the cushion to mold to you to relieve pressure points. Just remember – no matter how comfortable your seat is, changing posture and stretching at least once an hour is important for long term injury prevention!

Uplift Sit/Stand Desk

Staying in one position for too long gets uncomfortable and has long-term consequences for your body. Instead, opt for a dynamic workstation that promotes a healthier approach to teleworking with encouraged movement. Designed with ergonomics in mind, your work station becomes a flexible space that gives you the freedom to sit, stand, and everything in between! The Uplift Sit/Stand Desk’s customizable features allow you to tailor your workstation to you, helping to eliminate negative effects of poor posture when you are forced to fit the design!

Aicheson Laptop Cooling Pad

If you don’t have room in your office (or budget) for a sit/stand desk and you often find your laptop overheating, try this product that provides a 2-for-1 solution. With so many options to choose from, The Aicheson Laptop Cooling Pad tops the list because of its thoughtful features. This adjustable laptop stand has a five-fan multi-speed cooling element, increasing air circulation through your device that will reduce wear and tear on your equipment! Using one of five adjustable height settings along with a bezel, you can raise your laptop closer to eye level – your day will go by with ease while avoiding neck and back pain associated with a forced downward perspective caused by placement at the wrong eye height.

Tech Gadgets

Skylight Digital Picture Frame

Receiving pictures from your family has never been more important or easier! Skip the socially distanced trip to print the pictures and send the latest shot to your loved ones’ instantly with this WiFi enabled digital picture frame. Unlike other digital picture displays, each Skylight Digital Picture Frame has a unique email address, making photo sharing as easy as sending an email! Real time uploads mean everyone can join in on the memories from the comfort and safety of their home, regardless of distance.

Ember Smart Mug

When is the last time you made a cup of coffee, started working, and your coffee got cold? Unlike other heated mugs and coasters that are limited to one heat setting, the Ember Smart Mug allows you to set the specific temperature of your drink whether you like it lukewarm or hot out of the pot. When you’re working (tea)diously and don’t have time to reheat your drink, this mug keeps you going!

Cahot Light Sanitizing Box

In today’s world, every surface can be a scary “germy” surface. Take back a little control over the cleanliness of your home this year with the Cahot Light Sanitizing Box. Whether you’re cleaning your most frequently used items or offering it to guests as they enter, this is a great way to keep your home and loved ones safe from the dangers you can’t see! We like the efficiency and storage capabilities offered by the Cahot Light Sanitizing Box; you can sanitize multiple items at once in a single session.

Waitiee Wireless Charger

When we buy tech products, we have expectations. One that is universal, is that it will not introduce new challenges. We recommend the Waitiee Wireless Charger because it works as advertised, compared to many of its competitors. This device charges up to three gadgets at once while consolidating all chargers into one station, with one cord, and one outlet. More people at home, means more gadgets looking for plugs!

Bonus: you can turn the status light on and off, avoiding that pesky glow when you’re trying to snooze!

Apple AirPods

With everyone at home trying to get through their meetings, headphones are now a staple of our daily routine. There are many options when it comes to Bluetooth headsets, the most popular among the Sophic staff are Apple AirPods. Built with user needs in mind, AirPods have various unique features that make them a versatile top choice. Some of the smart features include: audio sharing with multiple sets of AirPods for a shared experience, noise cancellation for that private call that needs your full attention, earbud detection so that you can use one or both (with the sound adapting immediately), and a charging case that gives you multiple charges.

P.S. For our non-Apple friends, try the Sony WF1000XM3 Wireless Headphones for an Android-friendly alternative that has similar features to the Apple AirPods.
