I am a Shopping & Products contributor and former BuzzFeed Shopping fellow who covers tech, fashion, cleaning, beauty, and budget-friendly alternatives to cult-fave products.

1. A HappyLight sunlamp for when the days get shorter, grayer, and the winter slump hits harder than you’d like. This could potentially help improve your sleep, mood, and energy levels, making it a little easier to get through the end of your day. It has two brightness levels, two interchangeable lenses, and you can either leave it on its included stand or mount it on the wall.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Read more about sunlamps and seasonal affective disorder (SAD) at Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic. 

Promising review: "This light therapy light is great. It is very helpful during this time of year when we lose so much daylight. It has three brightness level settings as well as a timer. The cord has a great reach." —Kim Androlia

Get it from Amazon for $42.99.

2. A cat-shaped Post-it dispenser that's as practical as it is adorable. It'll purrrfectly hold the paper you need on a moment's notice during meetings or important phone calls.

www.amazon.com

Get these ~aesthetic~ sticky notes to match your new BFF (best feline friend).

Promising review: "This is adorable and practical! It dispenses sticky notes smoothly, and the design adds a fun touch to my desk. Sturdy and well-made." —Amy Kornafel

Get it from Amazon for $11.99.

3. A set of wireless Bluetooth earbuds, because the sound quality, different sets of squishy ear tips (for a custom fit!), and waterproof design (which Apple AirPods are NOT btw) can match or even outdo their more expensive cousins. If you want something for meetings or working (with your favorite podcast on in the background), these are a perfect, affordable option!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Reviewers rave about how these last for years and are shockingly good for how cheap they are. These come with a wireless charging case that provides up to 14 hours of charge (with the earbuds able to play for four-plus hours with each full charge). 

Promising review: "I bought these as a lightning deal, and they are worth every penny! They easily pair with my phone and laptop. I can switch between the two and use them for a full morning of meetings. Unless you are set on AirPods, Beats, or some other name brand, save your money and buy these. With the money you save, you could buy pairs for friends or keep extras around...I have a puppy with an affinity to earbuds and their case, so I might purchase an extra pair... just in case." —Carmen

Get it from Amazon $18.94+ (available in six colors).

4. Orrr a pair of over-the-ear Soundcore noise-canceling Bluetooth headphones if you get easily distracted as you work — and want to tune out the conversations in the other room, too. A single charge from these will easily get you through a whole workday (you can get up to 50 hours of playback with noise-canceling on), so you don't have to panic when you're attending a meeting from a coffee shop.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "My headphones that I had been using for years were worn out, and it was time to buy new ones. Those didn't have noise cancellation. I wanted a good pair with that feature without having to spend a fortune. These are the best headphones I've ever had. They're super comfortable and fit really well. I listen to podcasts while I work, and my old headphones would get uncomfortable after a while. I've had no issues with these. The noise canceling is amazing, especially considering the price. I go into the office two days a week, and the people who sit behind me talk constantly. If I have these on, I can't hear them at all. They're also light and easy to take with me. There's a Soundcore app to customize your settings, which is great. I love listening to music with these. It's like a whole new experience. If you're looking for quality, budget-friendly headphones, these are it!" —Natalie

Get it from Amazon for $55.99 (available in four colors). 

5. A 3-in-1 foldable magnetic wireless charger that'll not only fold up compactly into your work bag but also replace two of your three clunky chargers since it can juice up your iPhone, AirPods, and smartwatch all at the same time on your desk.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This product is absolutely amazing for all my charging needs! I love that it isn’t bulky and I can easily fold it up to take it with me on the go! Plus, the charge is quick and the grip is fantastic as well. I’ve already had friends and family ask where to purchase!" —Alena

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four colors and a travel case).

6. An extra small mini fridge for your drinks and snacks that are most definitely the reason why you're getting through the day. It has cooling *and* heating capabilities, depending on whether you want to keep your latte warm or chill your Diet Coke for your 3 p.m. slump. It has a little handle to make bringing it in super easy, and a USB plug-in, so even if you're out of outlets at your desk, you can keep it running with a power bank!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I’ve had this little fridge on my desk at work for a couple of weeks. I keep condiments in small containers, a drink, snacks, lunch meat, and other small portions of food in it. The shelf is removable for more space. It is very quiet! It also keeps food nice and chilled." —RG525

Get it from Amazon for $49.15+ (available in six styles).

7. A set of Loops earplugs — they're incredibly helpful for anyone who gets distracted by noise in the office and needs extra help focusing. They'll quiet excessive noise, *but* you'll still be able to hear your coworker call out your name if you forget about your 2 p.m. meeting.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Unlike the fugly foam earplugs the airlines provide, the Loop plugs won't fall out, won't make disturbing noises when you move your head, and maybe most significantly, they won't stick out of your ears and make you look like Shrek. They will enable most ambient noise to be reduced to enable you to focus or sleep, and will do so while still enabling you to hear loud noises such as those you'd want to hear in the event of an emergency or a child screaming/crying. This is a great product." —Gary Albright

Get it from Amazon for $24.95 (available in four colors).

8. A 12-pack of Sharpie pens that don't smear or smudge, so when you're quickly scribbling something down, it doesn't become unreadable — even left-handed reviewers say they don't smudge! They write super smoothly, have a nice sharpness, and feel comfortable in your hand thanks to the little rubber gripper.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These are my go-to pens! The ink is dark and strong until the last little bit. Unless I happen to spill a liquid on my paper, the ink doesn't smear or bleed (even then, it is very minimal). Excellent quality, writes smoothly. I definitely feel like I get everything promised in this pen." —Tiffany Grigsby

Get a 12-pack from Amazon for $11.99 (available in four-, 36-, and 216-packs). 

9. A Papier daily planner with 12 undated months and 365 undated daily pages, offering plenty of space for errands, appointments, and to-do lists. It’ll help you stay organized while giving you a quick glance at both the bigger picture and what needs to get done each day. And if life gets hectic and you miss a week or two, no pages have to go to waste!

Papier

Get it from Papier for $34 (originally $40).

10. Or a minimalist weekly desk planner reviewers say helps them stay super organized because you can quickly glance at everything you have for the week. In addition to the Sunday—Saturday columns, there's a to-do list, habit tracker, and notes for your next week. You'll be conquering everything you have to do ~aesthetically~ — and that's a promise!

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Bliss Collections is a family-owned, Wisconsin-based business established in 2012 that specializes in stationery, planners and pads, and drinkware.

Promising review: "It’s minimal, just how I like it. It’s only 50 sheets, which is perfect because there are only 52 weeks in a year. I started a small business recently, and my mind has been all over the place. I purchased this to be more organized instead of just going with the flow. Love how it has the to-do list that I can use as a reminder or a little shopping list for supplies. The habit tracker I’ll use for personal stuff that I want to do, but usually don’t give myself time to do. And the notes for next week are good so that you can jot down things and not forget for the upcoming week without having to start the new sheet." —katB

Get a pad of 50 undated sheets from Amazon for $7.99 (available in three other styles).

Psst — if you want to jazz this up a bit, reviewers love these fine point rainbow colored pens for planners and journals on Amazon!

11. An affordable Canon scanner, because most cost double or more! It'll make document and photo scanning easy, allowing you to skip the giant office one you can never figure out. It works in just 10 seconds and has four buttons to streamline the entire scanning process. Just connect the USB port to your computer to power up the scanner!

www.amazon.com

It's also very slim and compact compared to other scanners, so slipping this into your bag is actually doable!

Promising review: "I’m really impressed with the Canon Canoscan Lide 300 scanner! It’s been a great addition to my home office setup. The adjustable settings make it easy to fine-tune the scan quality, and the color accuracy is spot on — perfect for both documents and photos. The performance is fantastic; it’s quick and efficient, with a speedy scan time that doesn’t leave me waiting around. The AutoScan feature is a lifesaver, and the readability of scanned documents is crystal clear. I’ve been using it constantly, and it’s been worth every penny!" —Zenith

Get it from Amazon for $75 (also available in a slimmer version). 

12. An undetectable mouse jiggler when you want to go make lunch or grab a quick coffee, but don't want your manager to think you're slacking — because the "away" status on Teams and Slack is not the best look on a busy day. You'll still be able to get your fuel *and* have everyone in awe of how productive you were during your 9-to-5.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Like everyone else, I stumbled upon this product because of a TikTok I saw. Setup was extremely easy, and I'm pleased to say that my Teams green light is on all the time now. Workers of the world, unite." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for$18.99+ (available in seven styles). 

13. A six-outlet wall charger if you need more outlets but fear you'll trip over a normal surge protector that lies across the floor (those cords can come out of nowhere!). This has three USB fast-charging ports (USB-A and USB-C), a night-light with three brightness settings, provides surge protection, and fits compactly against the wall. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I ordered this outlet adapter for my home office. My laptop charger takes up a lot of space. This one has wider spacing between the outlets, allowing for more plugs to be added. The bottom left side has my laptop charger plugged into it. There is enough space that I can also plug in another power cord above it. Plus, this has three USB type plug-ins on the front. This has a total of nine outlets on this one unit. The night-light is an added bonus! Perfect for my use, and I can highly recommend this!" —LJ

Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (available in three colors and with or without the light).

14. A hexagonal productivity timer so you can focus on tasks for 5–45 minutes before taking a break or hopping onto your next meeting. Just flip onto one of the pre-numbered sides to start the timer — or plug in however many minutes you'd like for a custom option. You can also mute the alarm if you're in the office or out in public and don't want to annoy anyone around you.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Love love love this product. Simple design, works great. I time myself during writing sessions, so I'm not sitting in long stretches. This little timer is perfectly shaped and has several pre-programmed time options. Highly recommend." —Mimi Foster 

Get it from Amazon for $37.99 (available in three colors). 

15. A memory foam seat cushion designed to help relieve pressure on your tailbone — reviewers say it's great for anyone working long hours at a desk. And it's much cheaper than replacing your chair altogether!

www.amazon.com

Read more about how ergonomic chair cushions at your work station can help at Cleveland Clinic.

Promising review: "A few weeks into working from home five days a week, I started having a lot of hip/leg/back pain. In the early afternoons, my lower back would start cramping. I did some research and bought this pillow, and it immediately helped! What really drove me to write this review was that yesterday, unknowingly, I worked all day sitting on my chair without my cushion. I had removed it to use as a spare chair at my dinner table and forgot to put it back. At the end of the day, my hip was aching, and I realized why! Today it's back on my chair, and I'm already feeling better." —Lorene

Get it from Amazon for $45.95+ (available in two sizes and seven colors). 

16. A Wi-Fi extender so the next time you're on a Zoom, Google, or Teams meeting, you don't have any lag that makes you say, "Sorry, you cutout, can you say that again?" Because how annoying is that... You won't need to perfectly position your computer in your home to get a good connection anymore!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is a great product. We live in an old farmhouse and even though we have the fastest and highest internet service, we just couldn't get the signal throughout the entire house, or even our upstairs. But once we plugged in this range extender, we now have our 5G throughout the entire house and even the garage! It was super easy to install. No hassles. Easy to follow instructions." —Jennifer

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in three styles).

17. A convenient under-the-desk headphone mount with two types of USB chargers and little slots to hold your cords so you're nice and organized at your work-from-home desk. You can kiss tangly cords and clunky headphones that get in your way goodbye, because this stores everything underneath your desk.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Simple, straightforward product. Easy to mount and run wires to a power source. Works awesome under my standing desk and adds additional USB support for my gear." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in four colors).

18. Plus, a *charging* under-the-desk phone vault so your phone is always next to you, but you won't get nearly as distracted from your screen lighting up with notifications. Simply place your phone inside it and slide it under until it's fully hidden. And if you feel a phone call come through, push it to open, and it'll click right out. This will definitely help you reach a ~flow state~ for work much more easily!

Etsy / Kit Forge

This fits most iPhones with MagSafe (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17).

Kit Forge is a small business based in Los Angeles that creates various 3D-printed designs.

Promising review: "I wish I had noticed it didn’t come with the command strips, but that’s on me for not noticing. Otherwise it’s awesome." —Ari

Get it from Kit Forge on Etsy for $34.99+ (available with or without a Magsafe charger and made for phones with or without cases).

19. A convertible standing desk riser, because sometimes you get sick of sitting and want to change up how you're working. Reviewers say it's really easy to set up and use, so you can have a standing desk without having to buy a super expensive one — just squeeze the handle on the side and lift to ~elevate~ your desk.

www.amazon.com

Tech Orbits is a small business that specializes in desk converters and office accessories. 

Promising review: "I've been looking at these for months and finally decided to buy one. Super happy with my purchase. I didn’t want to replace my entire work desk, so I opted for this. The entire unit slides up and down easily. Plenty of room around the monitor for speakers, pens, notes, and even a fan. Easy assembly. Not too heavy. I’ve really enjoyed being able to stand at my desk. I’ve been struggling with lower back pain, and standing more seems to be helping. I find myself wanting to stand more often than I thought." —halaly

Get it from Amazon for $129.99+ (available in four variations). 

20. And a standing desk anti-fatigue mat so you can stand at your desk for hours. The mat's ~ergonomic typography~ lets you switch up how you stand on it (and still feel comfortable), which squishy kitchen mats *can't* do. Reviewers with plantar fasciitis swear by this cause of its unmatched support — one person even called it a "life changer."

www.amazon.com, Amazon

ErgoDriven is a US-based small business specializing in workplace ergonomics. 

Promising review: "Really nice mat, helps with leg and back fatigue. I stand up 50 percent of the time at my desk, and I can feel the difference in the two weeks I've had this product. It seems to have the right balance of comfort and support. It is a little pricey compared to other brands, but it is very solidly made, and it appears it will last a long time. Worth the extra money, in my opinion." —Jeff

Get it from Amazon for$109.

Psst — you can check out amini version for more compact spaces for $79 on Amazon! 

21. A set of clear drawer organizers if your desk is basically the land of misfit things you don't have a home for — this can fix that! You can dedicate spots for your pens, sticky notes, staplers, and spare office necessities so you don't have to rummage through the same spots until you *finally* find what you need. Bonus: they're stackable too, so you can organize any way you want.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These organizers are perfect. I use them at my makeup station, work desk, bathroom drawers, and pantry. They are so sturdy and easy to clean. I will continue to purchase these as I organize my house!" —Kylie Manns

Get a six-piece set from Amazon for $14.99.

Get a set of two from Amazon for $26.99. 

23. A pair of lightweight blue light-blocking glasses reviewers say can help with eye strain or headaches caused by staring at a screen all day, which is just the worst. This can help ease some of that discomfort so you can kick back and *fully* relax after a long day.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I use it for my office job. It’s been a lifesaver; it provides instant eye relief and stops the burning sensation. My husband loves it too, and I can’t stop recommending this product to my colleagues." —Sama

Get two pairs of glasses from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in various color packs and three-packs).

24. A set of Monkey Noodles — they're the perfect fidget toy that's quiet, stretchy, and moves in any way you want it to. You can keep one in your bag, one at the office, and one at home, so you always have something to help you focus and fidget with as you're doing busy work.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is my absolute favorite fidget! I’m an adult with autism and ADHD. I carry one around with me everywhere I go. It definitely assists me in staying calm/still while I’m at work. I’ve recommended it to several friends!" —KaelynnVP

Get a set of five from Amazon for $14.99.

25. Plus, the "Ono Roller" designed to help you relieve stress, anxiety, and tension by just rolling this little device in your hand. Reviewers say it helps them stay focused on tasks and avoid nervous habits like skin-picking, nail-biting, or hair-picking. Plus, it's super quiet (unlike clicking a pen), so your coworkers *won't* be rolling their eyes when you use this!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Ono is a small business specializing in compact, work-friendly fidgets for focus and stress relief. 

Promising review: "I have had ADHD since I was a small child, and this is the only thing I've ever found that helps me focus. It's quiet, durable, and keeps my mind occupied so I can focus (ADHD people will understand what I mean by that). A bit pricey, but worth every penny in my opinion!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $40 (available in 14 colors, various material options, and in a junior size for kids and people with smaller hands). 

26. A mini cactus humidifier, because offices can feel *unnaturally* dry, and instead of trying to power through the day, just whip out this to give yourself some relief. It's very quiet, so you can have a soothing and calm office space — even when your inbox gets inundated with emails to respond to.

Amazon

Promising review: "I am in love with this little guy. It’s easy to use and perfect for my cubicle at work. It’s very quiet and easy to use. The only complaint I have so far is that plugging it in for the first time was very difficult and I was afraid I was going to break the chord. Once I got it in snugly it is no longer an issue. I can plug and unplug it easily now." —Leah Shock

Get it from Amazon for $14.89.

27. An under-the-desk elliptical reviewers love because it helps them keep their energy up and improve circulation in their legs — all from the comfort of their desk. Plus, it isn't super loud, so you *can* use it during your important Zoom meetings too!

www.amazon.com

It also comes with a digital display that tracks time, speed, and distance, as well as eight different modes of resistance, so you can tailor it exactly to your needs.

Promising review: "No assembly required! Took right out of the box and put it under my desk. Spend long hours on the computer and suffer from hip and leg pain. Use the exerciser on and off all day, especially first thing in the morning, to loosen up joints. Felt the difference in just a couple of days. Just what I needed." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $102.45+ (available in four styles).

28. Or an under-the-desk electric treadmill if you can't find time to hit your 10,000 steps a day. The LED display will update your time, distance, and steps in real time *and* you can even use the Bluetooth remote control to play your favorite tunes in the process. The speed ranges from 0.5–6 miles per hour, so you can walk out the nerves before presenting to your team!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This thing is awesome. I'm a small, not technical person and managed to haul this thing up two flights of stairs (slowly), unbox, turn on and even connect my phone to the Bluetooth in it. No assembly. Simple instructions. Distance and time measurements seem to be accurate, but the 'calories' might be missing a decimal point. No squealing or groaning under my walking. Not too loud. Slides right under my bed. Didn't need to adjust the belt, though the tool to do so is included. Packaging says to oil every 30 hours. The remote is needed to make the treadmill function. It is extremely cheap — like dollar store cheap. I hope the company has a remote replacement for if/when the remote bites it. Even still, I would 100% buy this again. Great treadmill!" —Crowells

Get the standard version from Amazon for $199.99+ (available in four colors and also available in a mini size).

29. A little organizer to hold all of your office thingy-mcbobs you can't live without. It has two see-through drawers, two side slots for pens and pencils, a shallow top compartment for mini staplers or sticky notes, and a deep slot in the back that can hold things like planners or even an iPad! Now you'll easily find your things since they're on display instead of tucked away in a drawer.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought this for my desk and it has been the best decision! Plenty of room for pens! The drawers are the perfect size for sticky notes, paper clips, etc. The part in the back is the perfect size for a planner or other smaller items. It is easy to clean and for the price it is worth it! And side note, it's just cute in general." —Sierra

Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 11 colors).

30. Or a set of ~aesthetic~ concrete organizers that comes with a pencil cup, sticky note holder, catch-all tray, and a business card holder. Because having a business card already makes you look legit, but having it sit in one of these modern, sophisticated organizers makes you look EVEN MORE legit.

Etsy / Casting Theory

Casting Theory is a small business based in Texas that makes handcrafted goods out of concrete.

Promising review: "The product is as described, in a great finish and the color was wonderful. They look fantastic on my desk and I’m very happy to have purchased.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have a home office, and when I'm working from home, I like to have the TV on for background noise. Every now and then I'll hear something that I'll want to see, and now I don't need to stop working to turn my chair around and see — just put this on the shelf that holds my monitor, and now I can just glance over and keep working. It clips on easily, adjusts easily (my cat will come up and rub against it putting it out of whack)." —Robin M. Fields

Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three styles).

32. A portable Bluetooth retro-style keyboard — it connects to your phone, tablet, or computer, so you can bring the office with you wherever you go. It's not only pretty to look at, but reviewers say it's good quality and satisfying to click.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I've been seeing retro-style typewriter keyboards on TikTok for a while now. I always thought, 'That looks pretty cool!' Decided to look on here and found this one. I just got it today, and so far it 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 $26.99+ (available in 10 colors). 

33. A portable dual monitor reviewers say helps them work from *anywhere* and easily and quickly set up their WFH station. If you're working a little during a vacation, this can easily travel with you *and* still give you that two-screen view that's sooo much better to work off than just one measly screen. 

www.amazon.com

This dual monitor is compatible with Intel, AMD, ARM, Android, Windows, Mac, Chrome, and Linux operating systems. The attachable screen extender expands on the back and simply attaches to the back of your portable computer. Plug in the dual monitor into your computer, kick out the back stand, and you'll now have two screens to work off of!

Promising review: "Let me tell you about the game-changing monitor that entered our lives. My wife started with just one solid WFH display, but she wanted to level up her productivity with an additional screen. The problem? Her desk space was already stretched thinner than a pizza crust. That’s when this magical monitor swooped in, solving all her problems. Not only does it fit perfectly, but it also turned her setup into a triple-screen masterpiece. Efficiency? Off the charts. Multitasking? Next level. Desk space? Still intact. This monitor didn’t just deliver—it revolutionized her workflow. 10/10 would recommend!" —K. Tran

Get it from Amazon for $94.99+ (available in six sizes and variations).

34. A foam footrest designed to maintain its shape so your legs, hips, and lower back are properly supported throughout the *whole* day. It has a nonslip bottom on the flat side so it stays in place, and you can use the curved side for a ~rocky~ footrest — perfect for anyone who loves to fidget.

Amazon

Read more about how ergonomic footrests at your work station can help at Cleveland Clinic.

Promising review: "Perfect footrest, soft and comfortable. I work 10-hour days in my home office, and this keeps me in my chair and on the job. Prior to purchasing this footrest, I experienced foot discomfort while sitting at my desk. It has been eliminated." —Katie Vento

Get it from Amazon for $45.95 (available in two materials).

35. Anelectronics travel organizer with five elastic hoops, five mini pockets, and a larger zippered pocket so you can easily store (and organize) your cords, charging blocks, SD cards, and any other office essentials. Say goodbye to pulling out a tangly mess of charging cords from your bag every time you need to charge your devices!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Such a simple thing that is so helpful. This is a soft-sided tech accessory travel case (probably useful for other things too). For me, it holds a MacBook power supply, mouse and mouse pad, various plus, cords and ear phones, all neatly and in place. Just so much better than my old system of everything in one bag. Bought one for my daughter too." —CaliKla

Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in five colors). 

36. A transparent monitor attachment if you like using sticky notes but don't want them covering up precious real estate on your screen or leaving behind sticky residue. It'll help you stay on track with things you need to get done for the day and can even hold your phone as it charges.

Amazon

Each of the attachments has a sticky film that's strong enough to adhere it to your monitor, but easy enough to remove that it won't damage it.

Promising review: "I have 568 stickies on any given day and this is exactly what I needed to keep myself organized. They came packaged nicely, no cracks or scratches, and was easy to adhere. The adhesive is awesome. It's not going anywhere!!! I recommend this to anyone like me who needs a cool place for their notes. You will be the envy of your coworkers!" —Avid Dancer

Get it from Amazon for $5.97+ (available as two options).

37. A mini inflatable tube guy because you need SOMETHING that can make you smile a little when the third cup of coffee ain't doing the trick, and you want it to be 5 p.m. already. I see this as more of a need than a want, TBH.

38. Orrrr a customizable Dundie award so you can make your desk feel a little more homey and fun to sit at. You can gift yourself an inside joke or the title you've always wanted to get from your boss (like 'Employee of the Century'). And hey, now you won't have to sit through an award ceremony at Chili's to get some hardware for your desk — IYKYK.
