20 Thoughtful Gifts for Your Work Wives

You’re probably thinking, “Is this too extra?” To which we reply, absolutely not. It will make her days (and desk) brighter.

Give her an extra boost of strength with this power gemstone bracelet. There are almost 20 different variations of the bracelet available—representing everything from creativity to relaxation—depending on how you think she wants to channel her energy.

If she constantly complains about losing her hair ties, buy her this pack of three scrunchies—available in wine, ivory, and aqua blue—that are, yes, acceptable to wear to meetings.

Marianna Hewitt and Lauren Gores Ireland's Summer Fridays jet lag mask has gotten rave reviews for its lightweight formula and instant hydrating effects. You don't have to wash it off, so it can be applied during the work day or right before you hop into bed. Either way, it will help her have fresher, dewier skin and encourage her to unwind after a rough day.

Add a chic touch to her desk with this gold magazine rack. She can use to store her loose papers, journals, and, of course, favorite magazines. Perhaps she'd also like a subscription to Marie Claire?

Bath salts that happen to pair perfectly with a glass of wine and a good book for those days when she needs to come home and forget all about the office.

Did someone say truffles? Gift her this very luxe-looking dark and milk chocolate Godiva stash to keep in the office (so you can have some too, obviously).

Whoever said blankets aren't meant to be worn at your desk has clearly never experienced an office with a broken heater. She can keep this beautiful fringe throw on the back of her chair as a savior on chillier days or, you know, take it home.

For the ones that treat office decorating like a work of art, get them an inspirational desk calendar they'll love to look at every day. 

A portable shoe bag that can stow under her desk or in her laptop tote for the friend who always has dinner plans or an event after work.

Sure, you're never supposed to light up candles in the office, but if you've got a separate office, who's to know? (But, also, you did not read that from us; she should totally bring the candle home.) 

Oh look, it's her new favorite lip balm courtesy of Glossier. Everyone needs a skin pick-me-up in the dry office air—especially when it’s infused with natural ingredients like castor seed oil, beeswax, and lanolin.  

It’s okay to leave the office at six on the dot every once-in-a-while to indulge in a self-care yoga class. After all, we're getting tacos. 

A golden way for her to organize her books, papers, and magazines so they don't look like a stack of clutter on her desk. 

A bar cart recipes and styling book for the cocktail-loving office gal. This book doubles as a piece of chic decor for her desk or propped up on the office bar cart—a win-win for everyone.

A dainty bracelet for your favorite nasty woman who happens to sit a stone's throw away. 

Provide words of encouragement for your office bestie—even when you’re not around—with this "Make It Happen" sky-blue, 128-page notebook.

This cute Alice and Olivia cosmetic case, outlined in custom artwork, is the perfect space for her to store makeup for those last-minute important meetings (or dates).

These design envy–inspiring coasters are an ideal addition to the next office happy hour, or to her home if she's big into hosting. 

This adorable ceramic llama planter, in which she can nestle succulents or a little orchid at her desk, is sure to make her smile every time she sees it.
