As a consumer, I can't help but marvel at how online shopping has changed the face of retail, and the convenience it has provided to our life. Everyone is simply a few taps and clicks away from purchasing anything they might need or want, and having it delivered within the week or even less.

For most of us, we're probably done with large purchases that make life at home much more pleasant, such as ergonomic tables and chairs, kitchen appliances, dishwashers or even home workout equipment. Now that we're back in the office – or practising a hybrid-style work –

Consider these inexpensive and random items to enhance your home and office life!
