20 Cool Office Gadgets that Are Actually Useful

Myself and my partner both use this tripod. It doesn’t come with a mount for smart phones. You have to buy that separately. There is one available that’s compatible via Amazon.

The spirit level contained within the unit is really useful for lining up your camera to make sure it helps you take super straight images.

What’s really great about using this tripod is that it’s lightweight and it comes in a handy black storage bag. This means you can tuck it away or store it in your desk or on a coat rack. I will be recommending it to all of my blogger friends who need those super sharp looking social media pictures.

Get rid of annoying noises like office chat, intrusive co-workers, and questions you’d rather not answer to immediately, with this pair of stylish but affordable BOSE headphones. This office gadget’s noise cancelling feature is a dream come true when the office suddenly turns into a noisy Zoo.

The headphones are corded but they can be easily turned into wireless headphones if you want to use just the noise cancellation feature, which is built into the headphones. You’ll need a AAA battery for that as the headphones have no rechargeable Li-ion battery, which might explain the low price.

A whiteboard with a clock… Gosh, life is wonderful! Write your daily schedule, draw on it, reinvent time, use it to meditate, let your colleagues or kids play with it, the possibilities are infinite. This cool office gadget is a discovery, the epitome of productivity hacks. Now, this is a real-time management tool. If you want a break from your regular time management apps and do some old school hands-on management, hack the hell out of your schedule with this customizable whiteboard clock.

Indispensable. Period. My MacBook Air cable always slips from the desk and while it’s good for the body to get up regularly I prefer getting up with my wristwatch hourly alarm or just take regular breaks, not because the falling cable demands me to. I also have a bunch of other cables from a bigger screen, headsets, and other plug and play office toys I regularly use. 😀 So this little cable clips organizer is not just eye-candy for my OCD, it’s also one of the most practical office gadget you can have on your desk.

Working in teams, doing training, just wanting a bit more mobility and not having to use a mouse each time you need to switch between multiple tabs or screens is heaven with this innovative productivity gadget. If you don’t like to touch your screen, you can use a touch pen. Check it out, it’s guaranteed to make a difference in your efficiency at work. Now available for Windows 10 notebooks with 13.3″ screen sizes, zooming, swiping, tapping has gone to the next level. 

Perfect for dry closed offices like mine that pump non-stop heat in the winter and air conditioners during summer. It really drove me crazy and I wanted something cheap small plug and play type and this little guy does the trick. Your lungs and skin will thank you. Superb office gadget.

On the other hand, you might want to get a de-humidifier instead. If your office space is too humid, then condensation will build up into mold (hidden in the cracks and corners of the space) and before long you’ll be at health risk.

Office supplies are more of a choice these days with all the gadgets out there replacing paper. But all my front desk and HR people know the meaning of a great organizer! And I’m an office gadgets freak, I love stationery so this rotating gizmo is everything I need when I get my groove on. Cheap, doesn’t take much space and the dividers are as practical as they get.

This trippy perpetual calendar gave me a much-needed break from all things digital. It’s slick, fun, and ideal for those who always need to do something with their hands.

Boom! Best office gadget, hack, or trick for the eternal sloucher. Most of these posture corrector braces are either too small, too expensive, too something you don’t want and you end up throwing money out the window. Again, I’ve curated this list so comment below if it didn’t do the trick for you, but I’m giving this a 5/5 for being discreet, easy to adjust, easy to put on, excellent on the back.

Now this a true centerpiece of any office gadget wish list! I’m incredibly psyched about this clear whiteboard! I can move it around and again, upcycle the whiteboard I have at the office right now. A productivityist’s must have! I wonder if Mike Vardy, the one and only Productivityist, has one of these. Mike, if you’re reading this, let us know! 😀

Oh, yeah. And Mike? I’m training a whole world of people to start being real productive, so get ready for everyone to steal your thunder!

This monitor stand and desk organizer combo is indeed a mind reader. I have a wide monitor that I use with my Mac so this monitor stand is a life saver. And since I have a really wide standing desk, this fits remarkably well and I can organize all my favorite stationery like a boss! Besides, I just can’t get over the fact that you can fit a lot more than at first glance. Bag of holding, anyone?

If you use those chunky headsets at work or you are a gamer (this could probably go with the small ones too, by the way) then this is the perfect office gadget for you. It has a cable loop holder so your headset cable doesn’t tangle and it comes in 4 colors. You’ll love it!

If you want an alternative calendar to the DIY one above this is a perfect – albeit expensive – choice. Therapy doesn’t come cheap. Jen Sincero knew how to leverage her coaching career and got a series of motivational products that are selling like hotcake. This Day-to-day motivational calendar is no exception. Start each day with a positive attitude that will spread out through your entire day. I’d keep’em when the year finishes and upcycle them into a DIY calendar. You’re welcome.

I’ve always wanted one of these! Actually I’ve always dreamt of those chunky old school ones you’d see in 80’s movies, but this electric pencil sharpener takes it to the next level as it’s more compact, you can plug it to a USB port or power cord (if you run out of batteries), useful for more than one type of pencils. And believe me, I’ve gone through a ton of reviews to find the best, I hate throwing money out the window. 5/5 + <3

Not really an office gadget per se, but come on it makes for a fun thing to have on your desk, even if you just fill it with little heart emojis. And I’m sure it makes for a great conversation starter. Also, it would make a pretty fun office present. iI you’d like a great notebook or a daily planner check out the reviews on The High Performance planner and Best Daily Planner Reviewed in Top Countdown.

Positivity affirmations in an unexpected context? Yes, please! And this goes great with the new electric sharpener above. But because I don’t want to wear these off that fast and because I’m smart, thank you very much, I suggest getting a big bag of those classic HB yellow pencils. They both work great, especially if you push like a maniac against the paper (like I do).
