1. A Nordic chair
"I [didn't want] to purchase an office chair because after working from home, di ko na sya magagamit, so at least this can still be used. It's light pink and PU leather. I got it from Shopee on sale, free SF pa!" - Bernadette
2. White Scandinavian desk + phone stand
"I recently got this phone stand from the akbktii1.ph Shopee store and OMG it makes working from home soooo much easier. I can do work on my laptop while video calling coworkers (or friends after timing out!), or instantly see a notification because my phone is now at an angle to do Face ID. Best purchase ever.
[My new desk] made SUCH a huge difference from working on the couch (my spine thanks me, lol). I got this "white Scandi table" on Facebook Marketplace!" - Andie
3. Mesh WiFi
"I ordered tenda mesh wifi to route the internet faster so I can work more peacefully [in] my room. Now I can use 100 mbps even [when] I'm up in my room." - Abigael
4. Swivel chair + work lamp
"I bought myself a cute swivel chair and work lamp that compliments my grandfather's antique work desk." - Monina
