Decorating my desk area is another passion of mine so I had to put this category in the gift guide. I own way too many of these things and yes I still need more.

But I’ve found some that are practical and can tie any look together one a desk! From a minimalistic gold paper rack (here) to a cute multi-functional storage unit (here), these are great options! Others can be found here, here, here, here and here!
