Help friends and family start the new year right with thoughtful home and office gifts curated by Gifting & Lifestyle Expert Leslie Lehr.
The holiday season is all about showing appreciation for the people we love, and finding the perfect gift can be easier (and more fun!) than you think. Thoughtful, practical gifts that boost productivity and add style to everyday routines make the best presents for everyone on your list, especially as we look forward to a fresh start in 2025.
As Gifting and Lifestyle Expert Leslie Lehr says, “finding beauty in order is the key; we must create systems that reduce clutter and support sustainability.” Inspired by this wisdom, we’ve teamed up with Leslie to curate a list of gifts that set your loved ones up for a productive 2025. From sleek desk essentials to creative, multifunctional tools, these 3 gift ideas will help anyone create a workspace that’s as cozy as it is efficient, perfect for ringing in the new year with style and purpose.
Gift #1: Quartet® Glass Dry-Erase Desktop Computer Pad
Whether you’re shopping for your boss, assistant, intern, or work wife/husband, Leslie recommends the Quartet Glass® Dry-Erase Desktop Computer Pad ($26.99). This office essential comes in multiple colors and styles, and sits directly between the keyboard and monitor to maximize desk space. The glass writing surface is perfectly angled for comfort and ease so that you can quickly jot down notes. Finally, the board wipes clean every time without staining and features a hidden pull-out drawer to store markers (one is included!) and other accessories.
Gift #2: Quartet® Glass Desktop Dry-Erase Easel
Another of Leslie’s top picks is the versatile Quartet® Glass Desktop Dry-Erase Easel ($37.00). Perfect for tracking reminders, notes, and weekly to-dos, this easel is as functional as it is stylish. “People love gifts that are adaptable,” Leslie says. “The versatility of this easel makes it ideal for anyone, whether they’re using it in an office, a home workspace, or even on the kitchen counter.”
The easel can stand upright or lay flat, providing the perfect viewing and writing angles. Leslie appreciates the sleek, modern look of the glass board, as well as its scratch-resistant, dent-resistant surface that erases completely, leaving no stains or ghosting behind. Thoughtfully designed, it also features a built-in clip to hold pages in place and a hidden storage slot for markers and sticky notes, everything you need to stay organized in style.
Gift #3: Quartet® Glass Desktop Monitor Riser
Rounding out Leslie’s top 3 best gifts to help create a more productive 2025 is the Quartet® Glass Desktop Monitor Riser ($100.00). “The adjustable legs allow you to set the height for better posture, which can make a huge difference in comfort and productivity.” Of course, it also includes all of Quartet product’s best features, including a no-ghosting dry-erase board for jotting down quick notes or reminders.
With its sleek design and practical benefits, this monitor riser is more than a desk accessory, it’s a tool to help your loved ones work smarter and feel better every day.
Gifts That Give Back
These thoughtful gift ideas are not only perfect for a productive 2025, but they’re also better for both the recipient and the planet. “In today’s world, giving eco-friendly or sustainable gifts shows you care, not only for your coworker, spouse, or friend, but also for the environment,” says Leslie.
Each of these desk accessories, the Computer Pad, Easel, and Monitor Riser, has earned the prestigious GREENGUARD Gold Certification, which means they meet rigorous health-based criteria for low chemical emissions, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This makes them ideal for healthcare facilities, homes, schools, and any workspace where health and air quality are priorities.
As Leslie puts it, the best gifts are those that bring value to daily life while reflecting genuine care for both the recipient and the environment, “A great gift is one that makes life easier, adds a touch of personal style, and shows thoughtfulness for the world we share. Whether it’s helping someone stay organized or giving a sustainable option they’ll use every day, these gifts are all about setting up loved ones for a successful, meaningful year ahead.”
