From monogrammed notebooks to an acupressure aromatherapy kit that will help you recover from a stressful commute, here are 13 buys to help with the heading back into the office.
With many people heading embracing the hybrid-working setup these days, we want to feel prepared. But, why throw in any old item into your tote, when you can consciously shop small, too?
We’ve rounded up some of the bestselling buys from The Drop by Stylist that will help you ease back into office life, whether you’re returning full-time or heading in a few times a week.
Paperkin Designs Weekly Planner and List Pad
We’re fast approaching the busiest time of the year, when keeping up with work, family, friends, exercise, life admin and well, you know… showering, can all feel like a bit much. When you’re overwhelmed, it can help to write down all your tasks and plans to help sort out everything that’s going on – and this Paperkin Designs bundle is here to help.
Featuring a weekly planner and a to-do list, the best thing is that once you’ve ticked everything off your list or finished with your week, you simply rip the page off the pad, scrunch it up and throw it in the bin. Think of it as a mini-therapy session…
Fin Studio Pinky Daily Planner Pad
Forget multiple post-it notes, phone alerts and forgotten shopping lists – this A5 daily planner pad is here to keep you organised. Each of the 50 pages has space for you to note down to-do lists, priorities, daily goals and even tasks for tomorrow, so you’ll never forget an important meeting (or to buy milk on your way home) again.
Made using recycled cardboard, vegetable ink and 100% recyclable paper, and featuring a cool pastel colour palette, it’s a must for every desk set-up.
Fawn & Thistle Personalised Tiger Pattern Phone Case
Investing in a new phone case might often fall to the bottom of your to-do list. But what better way to get office-ready than making your devices feel fresh?
The accident-prone among us know that a case is essential to protect our phones from bumps and scratches. But why go for something subdued when you can show off with this statement tiger design? Complete with an oversized initial personalisation and with the option to add a name of your choosing, it would make a perfect gift for that hard-to-buy for friend – but we’d be tempted to keep one for ourselves too…

With an option for both AirPods and AirPod Pros and available in six shades – white, pink, yellow, mint, tan and black – customise yours with up to three characters in a choice of three colour combinations.

Kind Bag 'Hackney' Backpack with Free Reusable Shopping Bag
Micro crossbody bags have been invaluable for post-lockdown life, but hybrid working calls for something a little more substantial. “Large enough to fit your laptop (and even a change of clothes), the multi-pocketed style adds a welcome splash of colour to your everyday look – the burnt orange gets my vote,” says Billie Bhatia, Stylist’s fashion and beauty director.
