9 Awesome Gift Ideas for People Who Work from Home (or Work from Anywhere)
Recently joined the work-from-home revolution? Join the club! These days, we’re willing to bet you’ve got someone on your gift list who’s in a hybrid work environment or 100% home office. And if they’re a CamelBak fan, there’s a good chance they might even be working from the campsite or cabin.
Whether they’re a budding entrepreneur, running a small empire from the kitchen table, or just putting a work-from-home spin on their 9-5, this gift list will surely up their productivity quotient—or at least their happiness.
Here are our 10 top work from home gift recommendations for any holiday.
We at CamelBak know that “remote work” can mean more than just working from the comfort of home. And nothing embraces the go-anywhere, work-from-anywhere vibe more than this versatile and lightweight Arete™ Sling pack.
The pack has a single strap that can be moved to enable left or right shoulder carry. For when they’re working on the go, Arete has room for essentials like maps, notebooks, pens, extra layers, and a camera or a tablet. And of course, water. Purchase of the pack includes a .6L Tritan Renew bottle made with 50% recycled material.
This product is sure to be a hit with those busy multi-tasker types…as well as anyone concerned with sustainability, versatility, or cool products in general. MultiBev does the work of two, serving as both a water bottle and detachable travel cup. Use for coffee in the morning, water throughout the day, and camp-out beers on the weekends.
The stainless steel construction is durable and rust proof, while double-walled vacuum insulation keeps liquids hot or cold for hours. Fits most car cup holders, is dishwasher safe, and there's even a secret storage spot for snacks or a tea bag.
This slim little waist belt is a must-have accessory for the quick lunch walk or inspiration break. Despite its compact size, this hydration belt has ample storage for things like keys, phone, credit cards or even a small notebook.
The waist belt is adjustable to fit most body sizes and the back panel is ventilated for maximum coolness during sunny daytime walks or runs. And with the included Podium® Dirt Series 21 oz water bottle, creativity won’t be the only thing flowing.
The perfect addition to their new MultiBev (*cough* or Forge® Flow, or Chute® Mag, or Hot Cap bottles and travel mugs *cough*). The stainless steel Tea Strainer is an upgrade to any work-from-home setup. The roomy infuser basket is perfect for brewing a robust batch of loose-leaf tea or coarse ground coffee. Also great for fresh fruit and herb infusions.
The finely etched hole pattern keeps small particles and sediment inside the basket and out of their drink. Super durable, dishwasher safe, BPA, BPS, BPF-free and ready to make endless cups of tea, this reusable tea strainer is truly a gift that keeps on giving.
Know anyone who’s still hitting the office a few days per week or working from the coffee shop/van/beach? The M.U.L.E.® Commute 22 Backpack’s got everything they need to get there comfortably, whether by bike, foot, car or public transportation.
The smart design includes a waterproof internal laptop sleeve, shoulder strap pockets to secure smaller items up front, side pockets for a water bottle or U-lock, and a ventilated back panel to help avoid that embarrassing sweat-soaked arrival. Equipped with 22L gear capacity and space for a 3L Crux or Fusion hydration reservoir (not included).
Whether working remotely or rocking the cubicle, a great coffee mug is an essential productivity tool. The powder coated stainless steel Camp Mug looks good on the outside, while keeping drinks at ideal temperature on the inside (thanks to vacuum insulation). Complete with spill-proof tumbler lid, slip-resistant rubber bottom, and a fun selection of colors to fit every personality.
Because it’s stainless steel, this mug will last virtually forever—or at least until they lose it. In the meantime, it can become their trusty work sidekick—or camping companion, or hiker’s best friend or…you get the idea.
Sometimes the best gift is the one you create yourself. Imagine giving a custom water bottle, tumbler, travel mug or wine bottle that speaks the truth. For example “Boss B*tch”, “#1 Employee”, or “It’s 5 o'clock somewhere”. The possibilities are literally endless.
Forge Flow is a solid choice, with its convenient self-sealing one-handed drink lever and open/close lock. However, we offer personalization for a variety of bottles and drinkware, see options here. Using color print or laser etch, you can add images, text, or monograms to the front, back, or both sides of your product (no copyrighted images).

Did you know people tend to drink more if they use a straw? If you know someone who’s trying to drink more water, gift them an eco-friendly drink tumbler with a built-in straw, like our Horizon 20oz Straw Tumbler made of insulated stainless steel. The reusable straw helps to reduce plastic waste, and your friend reaps the benefits of hitting their daily water intake goals.
It’s got all the telltale signs of a great work mug—slip, spill, and scratch resistant, cupholder ready, dishwasher safe. Most importantly, it will look cool on their desk.
Complete this gift: Add a replacement multi-pack of colorful reusable straws.
No one has to know what’s inside their cup during that last Zoom meeting of the day. The Horizon Wine Tumbler is conveniently opaque, made from powder-coated stainless steel. And the bowl-shaped interior is designed to maximize the flavor and aroma of any varietal. It’s also the perfect shape for a cool drink of juice, tea, or infused water throughout the day. Either way, we won’t judge.
The tri-mode lid means no red wine spills on important papers. Insulated walls keep drinks 6 hours cold or 4 hours hot (hot tea or toddy, anyone?). Bonus—this tumbler doubles as a go-to travel cup for poolside drinks or a post-run cocktail. Hello, happy hour!
