It's easy to lose track of time while working from home. Thus, a plain calendar for keeping time the old-school way. Add a desk calendar for the office and work desk, too.

If it's the year of promises kept, the regular yoga practice your giftee has been promising should be in full swing.

Why is this TheraCane massager such a weird and good gift to give someone? Probably because it looks insane but the small little nodes are the closest thing you can get to a back massage without actually getting a back massage.
