Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

If there is one thing the pandemic has taught us, it’s that many of us can work from home, at least for a while.

When the pandemic lockdowns began, many of us (me included) set up on a dining room table or even a folding table and just got to work, but setting up a permanent spot for a workstation will make your home/work life a lot easier.

These gift ideas can make the work-at-home people on your list more comfortable, whether they’re setting up a home office or just need to tweak their workstation.

Ausdom HDR 2K Live Streaming Webcam

What is it? This is a webcam that has a very clear picture with a resolution of 2,592 x 1,944 pixels. It’s plug and play, meaning you plug it in and your Windows or Mac computer will recognize it and make it available for you to use in any app that uses a video camera.

I’ve been testing a lot of webcams since the pandemic started, and this is one of the best. I reviewed it earlier this year.

It sits out of the way on top of your monitor and it has a small sliding cover for the lens if you’d like to be 100% sure nobody can see you. It has two noise-canceling microphones so your voice is clear, even in a semi-noisy office situation.

Who is it for? Anyone who makes a lot of video calls and isn’t satisfied with the camera built into his or her computer.

What does it cost? $79.99.

Where can I get it? Amazon.com
