The best deals online today for remote workers

Maybe you're reading this hunched over your dining room table, or you're preparing for another Zoom call with bad lighting. Or maybe you just have $200 in your "work from home stipend" left to spend this year.

Whatever your remote work situation looks like, we've scoured the web for the best deals on products for you. We've categorized by your budget, so whether you'll be the first one back in the office, or you're investing in a high-tech home office for the long haul, we've got just the deals for you to take advantage of today.


Budget Items

For the more cost-conscious remote workers.

OlumiRing from Oluminate: $24.00 (retail: $40.00; sign up for their newsletter for another $5 off)
This might be the most convenient way to ensure you will always have great lighting on your video calls. Especially useful for someone who likes a change of scenery aside from using different Zoom backgrounds, this will allow you to have proper lighting from wherever you take your next virtual meeting - whether on your couch or in your home office.

HP VH240a 24" Monitor: $99.99 (retail: $124.99)
If you've been thinking about getting an external monitor (or two) this is a great deal to consider - there usually aren't such high-rated monitors at or below a $100 price point.

Logitech MK235 Wireless Keyboard & Mouse: $17.99 (retail: $29.99)
One of the least expensive ways to improve your posture while on your laptop is to get a laptop stand, separate keyboard, and mouse. This offer tackles the electronic aspects while keeping you cordless.

Moft Z 5-in-1 Sit-Stand Desk: $49.00 (retail: $69.00)
Collapsible, lightweight, and holding up to 22 lbs., this laptop stand can be useful from your kitchen table or the coffee shop.

VariDesk Basic 30: $198.00 (10% off everything sitewide)
Vari, formerly VariDesk, is one of the stalwarts when it comes to ergonomic office solutions. This option is for those who don't want to commit to a full standing desk, but want the ability to sit and stand as they please while working. There are several variations of this, too; it's worth browsing their site to find what's best for your space.

Anker Wireless Phone Charger: $12.99 (retail: $18.99)
Wireless phone chargers are incredibly convenient for your desk, especially stands that allow you to see notifications as they roll in. This Anker charger is likely the cheapest stand available right now.

Office Star Mesh Office Chair: $112.22 (retail: $227.99)
With a 4.2 star rating, a 50% discount on this office chair may be worth jumping at, especially if you're not expecting to work from home for an extended amount of time.

The Xebec: $379.99 (retail: $449.99)
Depending on how you work, this could fall into any of our categories. It can be a makeshift home office, or the best possible travel companion for the (future) road warrior. These days, it's probably more frequently used as a budget replacement for a home office. Throw in a laptop stand and you've got a fantastic (MOBILE!) office for less than what many multi-monitor setups would cost.

Gaiam Restore 18" Foam Roller: $21.10 (retail: $24.98)
Keeping your body healthy as you work is crucial, and a foam roller is an inexpensive way to ensure you're staying loose. It's helpful any time of day, especially when you catch yourself sitting or standing still longer than expected.


Value Items

For remote workers looking for deals on better equipment for the long haul.

Twelve South CaddySack: $39.99 (retail: $59.99)
Twelve South makes products that are primarily for Apple products - so this case is made specifically to hold MacBook and Apple chargers when traveling. If you expect to be on the road in the future, or even just working at different locations mid-week, this will help ensure you always know where your charging cables are.

papalook 1080p Webcam: $64.99 (retail: $84.99)
If you're still looking to upgrade your webcam for better video call quality, this webcam from Amazon is a great option for a much lower price point than the most popular Logitech cameras.

Lume Cube: $55.96 (retail: $69.95)
The Lume Cube has been making waves since remote work took hold earlier this year. It has portability and dynamic adjustability, a best-of-both-worlds "Goldilocks" lighting solution between the less expensive OlumiRing and the pro-level solutions.

LG 27UK850-W 27" 4K Monitor: $379.99 (retail: $449.99)
If you know you'll even be spending one day a week working from home, an external monitor should be a no-brainer. They boost productivity and easily improve posture by bringing your vision to eye-level. A 4K option will be compatible with laptops for years to come, and 27" means you'll always have plenty of real estate. At this size it can double as a small TV, too.

Satechi Quatro Wireless Power Bank: $74.99 (retail: $99.99; 10% off when you sign up for their newsletter)
Especially useful for those who often work outside their home office, a wireless power bank ensures you don't need to find a coffee shop table with access to an outlet nearby.

The X-Stand: $96.30 (retail: $107.00)
Durable, collapsible, and lightweight, the X-Stand is handy for bringing your laptop up to eye-level wherever you're working from. It's made from bamboo, has two height options, and can be used at home or at a coffee shop. Plus, this deal includes free shipping and is running through Wednesday this week.

Jarvis Laminate Standing Desk from Fully: $424.15 (retail: $499.00)
The Jarvis standing desk has wide acclaim, and their laminate versions come in at a lower price point than their bamboo options. This is a great opportunity to get a high quality sit-stand desk for far lower than you'd typically be able to.

Bose QuietComfort 35 Wireless Headphones: $199.95 (retail: $349.95)
Bose headphones are known to reduce outside noise as well as - if not better than - all options out there. If you've been on the fence about getting a new noise-cancelling headset, this $150 discount is your best value option for a Bose set.

Autonomous.ai ErgoChair 2: $309 (retail: $419.00)
Did you miss out on the giveaway two weeks ago? This sale is the second-best way to get your hands on the ErgoChair 2. We love this chair, and it seems everyone who sits in one does, too. Sales throughout the year can drop the price to ~$350 or so, but this is the best we've ever seen.

Herman Miller Sayl: $463.25+ (retail: $545.00+)
While it's not the flagship Aeron, the Sayl is a still a great lifetime value option, and certainly has the most unique look of any Herman Miller desk chair. The design was inspired by the Golden Gate Bridge, and provides the level of comfort and flexibility you'd expect from a Herman Miller.

And we'd be remiss if we didn't mention: we're giving one away this Friday!

Active Perch Stool from Hubbub: $109.65 (retail: $249.00)
Desk chairs aren't for everyone. And sometimes it's nice to take a break from them. If you've been looking for an alternative, Hubbub has a stool that's significantly discounted, and on top of that they're offering 15% off sitewide for Cyber Monday. Another great brand for home office furniture.

Apple AirPods: $109.99 (retail: $159.00)
First-generation AirPods, which come with a wired charging case, are on sale for $109.99 now - far below the most recent generation AirPods Pro, which sell for $249.

Rooftree Vibrating Foam Roller: $36.76 (retail: $45.95)
A step up from a regular foam roller is a vibrating foam roller. Keep it turned off for normal foam rolling or add a vibration for better relaxation. Again, great to have something like this around when you catch yourself sitting/standing for longer periods of time without moving.


Executive Items

For remote workers who don't want to compromise when it comes to their professional setup - or the ones who have the largest stipends to spend!

UPLIFT Standing Desk V2: $549.00+ ($50 off all configurations)
A top-tier option for anyone working from home, the Uplift V2 Desks are great choices for those who want to shift from sitting to standing and have their entire office move with them. What makes Uplift stand out, aside from the craftsmanship, is all of the accessories they bundle with a desk purchase: you can get a balance board, storage accessories, and even an under-desk hammock!

Herman Miller Aeron: $845.75+ (retail: $995.00+)
Arguably the most recognizable desk chair in the world, the Aeron has a fantastic reputation for a reason. Its comfort level and attention to ergonomic detail are unrivaled among the competition. And fun fact: it's featured in the Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection. If you're going to pony up for one, we suggest including the adjustable features to get the most out of your investment - especially if you're buying today.

Courant CATCH:3 Wireless Charger and Tray: $122.50 (retail: $175.00)
On top of having 30% off sitewide, Courant is offering free monogramming with all purchases over $75. This charger + tray combo would go well on any desk, and has the color selection to satisfy anyone.

Steelcase Think: $559.20 (retail: $699.00)
The Steelcase line of chairs has a few chairs that are comparable to Herman Miller; in fact, the Steelcase Gesture is one that often competes with the Aeron for top overall desk chair. But the Think chair is an exceptional option in their lineup, and during Cyber Monday it's 20% off.

Samsung CRG9 49" Curved Monitor: $999.99 (retail: $1,499.99)
Multiple monitors can really boost productivity, but if you'd like to have everything conveniently on a single screen, this is a great deal for such a high level monitor. Two top-tier 27" external monitors - with about the same screen real estate - would often collectively cost around $1,000, so this is a deal worth jumping on.

Razer BlackWidow Elite Mechanical Keyboard: $129.99 (retail: $169.99)
Mechanical keyboards are known to be a favorite among those who spend more time typing than others. Razer makes some of the best available, which makes this a deal worth considering if you want a new keyboard.

Ember Coffee Mug: $129.95+ (free charging coaster with promo code)
If you're picky about your drink temperature in the morning, and you really want to step into the future with bluetooth-enabled controls, the Ember line of mugs has what you're looking for. Use the promo code BFCOASTER to get an extra charging coaster for added convenience.

Opove M3 Pro Massage Gun: $159.00 (retail: $199.00; at checkout, use code "FIRSTIMER" for another $5 off)
What's even better than foam rollers for releasing tension? A massage gun. And since we're recommending products for remote workers, this one is known specifically to be the quieter than the leading Hyperice and Theragun branded products. Perfect for use while you're mid-conference call.
