Gift Guide: For the Office Mate

December 6, 2013

Here at Remodelista, we work remotely from diverse spaces and places, most of which don’t include a typical office. Instead of clocking in, we now plug in, and within seconds we’re online and our workday begins. I myself prefer to work in my light-filled living room (the most inspiring room in our house). My husband, meanwhile, works from our converted attic with a tree-top view that keeps him inspired. No matter where you get your job done, here are a holiday gift ideas for your colleagues, and perhaps for yourself.

N.B.: To make sure we’ve got everyone on your list covered, we’re posting a new gift guide every weekday from now until Christmas. See all of the Gift Guides to date in our archive.

Office Gift Guide Leather Ipad Case

Above: If you really like your office mate, consider the Laptop Leather Folio by Field Theories. Handmade from a single piece of latigo leather using “the same architecture as an envelope,” explains the designer, the 13 inch long case is sized for toting an iPad and papers or a 13-inch Mac Book Pro (custom sizes also available); $145 via Field Theories’ Etsy shop.
