When it comes to home decor, I like to switch things up every season — but always in a subtle, intentional way. I’m not the type to go full-on holiday explosion in every room, but I do love getting into the Christmas spirit with a few festive touches right on my desktop. I refreshed my workspace for fall, and now, as promised, I’m sharing how I updated my office for the holiday and winter season.
Dress Up Your Desk for The Holidays and Beyond
1. Casely Into the Wild White Snow Leopard Case, $45
Sure, there are plenty of adorable gingerbread, candy cane, and Christmas tree phone cases this time of year, but this chic white snow leopard print is the one that can take me straight through winter in style. It’s festive without being overly seasonal — my favorite kind of upgrade.

2. Post-it Jingle Notes Snowflake 2″x2″ Holiday Sticky Note Pad 50 Sheets, $2.99
Leave little reminders, lists or messages with these charming snowflake Post-its. They instantly add a bit of seasonal cheer to even the most mundane tasks. And honestly? They make perfect stocking stuffers. Practical gifts are always the best ones.
3. Iridescent Fur Pom Pen, $7
This pen from Paper Source makes me smile every time I jot something down. It’s whimsical, sparkly, and definitely too flashy for anyone to “accidentally” steal — which is always a bonus.
4. Apotheke Juniper Birch Reed Diffuser, $62
One of my favorite winter rituals is switching up my home fragrance. This diffuser has that cozy, woodsy, crisp scent that instantly warms up the room — without being overpowering. It’s the upgrade my desk didn’t know it needed.
5. Crate & Barrel Winter Forest 12.75-oz. White Mug, $16.95
This slightly irregular white mug with minimalist pine trees makes every warm drink feel extra cozy. Whether it’s coffee, tea, or hot cocoa season for you, this little mug brings just enough winter charm to your desktop.
6. Russell + Hazel Acrylic Desktop Accessories Bundle, $72
These icy acrylic desk accessories are unbelievably gorgeous — like little frozen sculptures for your workspace. They keep everything organized while adding to my winter theme without feeling kitschy. It’s a cool gift idea, too. Pun intended.
7. 6”X 8″ Casebound Iridescent Pu Journal – up&up™, $10
This iridescent journal reminds me of swirling snowflakes. It’s the perfect spot to jot down notes, lists, ideas or even a few New Year resolutions. A pretty notebook always makes me (think I’m) more productive.
8. Anthropologie Acrylic Laptop Desk Riser, $64
Last but definitely not least, this acrylic laptop riser looks like my computer is floating on a mini glacier — in the chicest way possible. It also keeps my neck and posture in check, which is especially necessary during long winter workdays.
Whether you add one item or all eight, here’s to a cozy, stylish and productive winter season ahead.
