Did you know that the average person will spend roughly 90 000 hours (which is roughly 13 years) at work over a lifetime? Most people spend eight hours at work per a week, with the rest of the time split between eating, spending time with family and relaxing before the cycle repeats itself again.
Most people are perched behind a desk in front of a computer (or laptop) screen, which can be rather bland-looking. To make the work environment a bit more exciting, it is often decorated with a family photo frame and stationery holders - but that is pretty much not to crowd the immediate working space.
Gumtree lists some accessories will make your home or work desk look super cool:
Laptop stand - The nifty stand allows your laptop's fan to ventilate more efficiently and not overheat. It also makes a desk look more appealing and adds ground clearance if there's a liquid spillage. The stand also greatly improves ergonomics so you’re level with the screen, as opposed to looking down at it.
Cable guy - Not, it's not the 1996 movie featuring Jim Carrey. These specific ones are plastic figurines that hold up your electronic devices such as smartphone, tablet and gaming controllers. Pennywise the Clown, Minnie Mouse and Buzz Lightyear are some of the popular ones available.
Funko Pop - You might've seen these figurines somewhere, made distinctive by their short stature and big round eyes. Whether you choose the Harry Potter or Pikachu one, they are a cool addition to any desk and don't take up much space at all.
Vintage car - No desk is really complete without some sort of vintage car. The Volkswagen Kombi is the most retro one, though there are many scale models to choose from.
Headphone holder - With Teams and Zoom meetings always on the go (for those who work from home), headphones are a must. Headphones are normally just left next to the PC or laptop, but a nifty holder packages everything up nicely.
You'll definitely find what you're looking for on Gumtree - and cheap too! Head on over to the site and start kitting your desk out and rival Picasso's artwork.
Now that you’ve got the knowledge, it’s time to shop! Head to gumtree.co.za or your Gumtree app (click for Apple & Android) and don’t forget to use your location settings to find local service information close to home.
