Everyone knows someone who works from home now. Maybe it's your partner who takes calls from the box room, a sister who has set up at the kitchen table since 2020, or a colleague you only ever see on Teams. They're surprisingly easy to buy for, because almost everyone's home setup has one thing that annoys them every single day: a cold room, a sore back, a laptop at the wrong height or a tangle of cables under the desk.
Fix that one thing and you've given a present they'll use every working day of the year. Here are our Christmas gift ideas for people who work from home in Ireland, sorted by budget, from Kris Kindle gifts under €25 to the big one under the tree.
Quick picks: the right gift for the right person
- The one who's always cold: a cordless heated ankle massager or a small heater for the home office.
- The one with the sore back: a memory foam seat cushion or a proper ergonomic office chair.
- The one hunched over a laptop: a foldable laptop stand or a monitor arm.
- The one who never leaves the desk: a standing desk converter or an under-desk walking pad.
- The coffee lover: the portable espresso maker and a funny office mug to drink it from.

Frequently asked questions
What is a good gift for someone who works from home?
The best gifts fix something that bothers them every day. For most home workers in Ireland that's the cold, back or neck pain, or a laptop that's too low. A seat cushion, a heated massager, a laptop stand or a monitor arm all cost under €50 and get used every working day.
What's a good Kris Kindle gift for a remote colleague?
Something they'll keep on the desk, like a funny office mug, an Irish-made candle or reed diffuser, a USB-C hub or a foldable laptop stand. All of these are under €25.
When should I order for delivery before Christmas?
Order by Friday 27 November to be sure your gifts arrive before Christmas. Our gifts ship from warehouses around the EU, so allow 1 to 3 working days for us to pack the order and 7 to 14 working days for delivery. December is the busiest time of year for couriers, so the earlier the better. Orders placed after 27 November will often still arrive in time, but we can't promise it. Every order is tracked to your door anywhere in Ireland, and delivery is free on orders over €75.
