If you are reading this article, most likely you are a work-from-home mom, or you have someone in your life who is one. When we work from home, we forget or overlook some basic stuff to make the environment optimal for work. Whether you have a proper workplace or not, you can build a beautiful & functional WFH environment with the following guide. (You can also share the article with your loved one for Mother’s Day *hint*).
Work from Home gift ideas for Mother’s Day:
Desk:
Most of us WFH moms are either working from the kitchen table or the couch. *guilty*. A proper working station elevates your workflow and lessens physical strain. If you love handmade wood products, the following 2 products are awesome:
Multi functional laptop table desk: This handmade multi-functional laptop table is perfect for work from home moms! This standing desk allows you to stay more alert and energetic throughout the day.
Minimal maple wood desk: This minimalist handmade wood desk can be a beautiful addition to your home office. When you do not have a large space but still want to organize it for a better work environment, this desk is perfect.

Desk Organizer and accessories:
Love Desk Mats: These can make mom’s work-from-home or school-from-home help space organized and beautiful. These mats are like an oversized mouse pad but even better. Love Desk Mats protect desks from dust and scratches, keep the desk space clear and organized, and will add some super style to any computer space. I have been using this mat for a while and absolutely love it.
A planner or daily to-do list will help the moms become more organized and efficient. Consider the following products:
Chair:
I can not stress it enough, if you are working in front of your computer most of the sitting down, invest in a good ergonomically designed chair. Gift the women in your life and invest in some well-structured chairs. Here are my top favorite ones from Amazon:
Headphone:
If your kid is nearby, 9 out of 10 times there will be noise and you will get disturbed. Try out these noise-canceling headphones:
Computer and laptop accessories:
Proper computer accessories make the workflow efficient. I use my Apple Magic Keyboard every single day and love it! Here are some other products to consider:
Fashion:
There are many days, too many to count, I am afraid; I am in my pajamas the whole day slouching on my couch and typing like a storm on my laptop. We do not need to do the fancy dress-up, but some simple and comfortable fashion choices improve the mood and prepare us for the day ahead. Here are some cute, comfy and fashionable sweatshirts, leggings, tops, shoes and hair accessories:
Beauty:
Blue light-blocking skin care products are “in” right now. I have talked about these on my Instagram (@Sifascorner), and I use the Derma E blue light shield spray every day. Here are some other products that will help the WFH mom’s skin and improve the beauty routine:
Accessories:
Even if you do not need glasses, wear a blue-light blocking one. It’s a life-changer. I used to have headaches all the time after using my computer all day. Now I have a special pair of blue-light blocking glasses and I wear them every time I am working on my computer—no more unnecessary headaches. Check out these affordable options below:
Coffee:
Yes, caffeine is the mommy-fuel! A good coffee machine is a great gift for coffee-lover moms. They can enjoy a delicious cup of coffee in the comfort of their home when they work. These are some of the machines ( & coffee mugs) I love! If you are looking for something similar, check out these top-rated products:
Food Storage Containers:
Meal-prepping is something I do every week, and many work-from-home moms do the same! (If you are new to the concept, check out Beginners Guide to Meal Prepping). Preparing the weekdays meal (at least the lunches) ahead is a huge time-saver, and it eliminates the need for binge eating or grabbing whatever we can find. These meal-prepping storage containers are amazing and useful. Check them out!
