¡Building your setup doesn’t have to be expensive!
Small improvements can make a big difference in your work and the comfort in which you play. No one likes to work or play in a poorly lit or cluttered space. Finding budget-friendly options to enhance your home office or gaming setup doesn’t have to be challenging.
Amazon is filled with affordable home office essentials and must-have tech under $25 that can elevate your workspace or gaming experience. Here’s a curated list of 10 cheap but useful gadgets that you can purchase without breaking the bank!
1. USB Desk Fan
During the hot season it is very annoying to have to get up to turn on the fan, it takes up time and in the process you can get distracted. These fans are an economical and portable option if you do hybrid work. Stay cool during those long work hours with a compact USB desk fan. It’s perfect for increasing airflow and keeping you comfortable while you focus on your projects.
2. Multi-Port USB Charging Station
In my setup I used to have the phone charger away from the desk, when I ran out of battery I had to move. With these USB ports you can have everything at hand to charge headphones, phones and other devices that you need to have on hand. I recommend you stick it to the desk with double-sided tape to make it look more aesthetic.
3. Desk Mat
A desk mat sometimes seems like too much or something you won’t need, but it does make a difference. In particular, I think that it looks incredible, has a soft touch and protects the wood of my desk from wear and tear. This affordable mat provides cushioning, allowing you to stand comfortably while working. It’s perfect for anyone looking to make their home office more comfortable without overspending.
4. Webcam Cover
Protecting privacy is important, whether from someone who wants access to your camera or to prevent you from walking into a meeting and leaving your camera on when you’re not presentable. I leave you an option for a webcam and others for a laptop that are very easy to install.

8. Sticky Notes Set
For me there is nothing like taking notes the old way, in a meeting I can remember the important things, I can organize the things I have to do during the day, remember passwords or write down ideas for another time. When you play you can write down coordinates, clues, tasks, which will help you raise your level.
9. Bluetooth Speaker
Having a quality speaker is a great upgrade to work efficiently, I like to play music while I do different tasks, I also like that it is portable, I can take it to exercise or I can move it to play music when guests come.
10. Gaming Headset Stand
Keep your gaming headset organized with a dedicated stand that enhances your desk setup and displays your gear nicely. This last product is an extra that gives a good design to the setup.
