25 Work From Home Gift Ideas

25 Gift Ideas for People Who Work From Home Featured in this article If someone in your life needs a home office upgrade (that includes yourself!), you've come to the right place. WIRED's Gear team has been working remotely well before the pandemic made it a thing . And as WIRED's resident home office product reviewer, I've been churning through dozens of standing desks, office chairs, monitors, and other desk accoutrements for more than five years.
