1) Hand Lotion - this is a must especially for Seattle weather! My hands get dry so easily, so I find myself constantly reaching for lotion. My co-worker used to love that I kept this stashed at my desk and would always reach out when she needed some as well.
2) Thank You Cards - when I keep a box of thank you cards at my desk, I have no excuse to not send them. My mom was so good at writing cards and I would love to continue her card "legacy". Plus, who doesn't like getting a card in the mail?
3) Washi Tape - not an "essential" necessarily, but I do like the pop of color it adds to my walls!
4) Mug - find a good mug that holds a lot of pens and pencils. Bonus if you can add your scissors in there as well!
5) EOS Lip Balm
6) Protein Bars/Snacks - to help fight the afternoon munchies! Also nice to have if you forget your lunch or have to delay your lunch break.
7) Contigo Water Bottle - I drink a ton of water during the day, so a water bottle is always close by.
8) "5 Days a Week" Desk Pad - I still love my monthly calendar, but this pad helps me focus on each day and allows me to write detailed "must-do" notes. I also like that it includes a section for weekend "to-dos"!
