Not everyone has time to shop around and look for the newest items on the market that could appeal to the loved ones and colleagues on their gift-giving lists. (Or for themselves, because let’s be honest, we look at holiday gift guides and deals for ourselves just as much as for others.)

Here is a list of suggestions for the wishlist of the Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets obsessives in your life.

Leatherology Modern Desk Set

Keeping spreadsheets is all about maintaining organization, and for someone who loves spreadsheets, that desire is inevitably going to spill over to other parts of their work life—starting with their desk. The Modern Desk Set by Leatherology is a great starting point, and it’s lightweight and portable for anyone who hot-desks or plans to be moving from the home office back to the workplace. All made from Italian leather, the set consists of a desk pad, pencil cup, and unlined valet tray. Suggested retail price: $215

The Container Store Wrap It Medium Cable Labels

Everyone can relate to this problem: trying to distinguish one among a bunch of black cords behind a TV and/or credenza when you’re just trying to identify one. These color-coded wrap cord labels would make a great stocking stuffer for someone looking to better organize their home entertainment center. SRP: $8

Dymo LabelManager 420P High-Performance Label Maker

Take the label making game to the next level with the ultimate brand in…label makers. Rated as the #1 personal label maker by Wirecutter, the LabelManager 420P sports a backlit display with an easy-to-read interface. Crucially, it also packs a rechargeable battery (recharges via USB), compared to many other label makers that still rely on AA or AAA batteries. Compatible with Mac and Windows, users can make labels via Dymo’s free software to print barcodes or customized labels with the user’s own fonts, logos, and graphics. SRP: $156

Clevr Blends Starter Kit

Anyone working long hours on a screen usually needs some caffeinated fuel to keep them going. Skip the time (and one-time-use products like paper cups, etc.) from going to the coffee chain with the long line and lattes at home. But for those of us without fancy Nespresso machines, there are a number of new coffee startups making ready-to-blend products that are not just better than you’d expect but really quite good. Among them is Clevr Blends—backed by the likes of Oprah and Meghan Markle—with oat milk latte drinks, mixed with a dash of water and infused with adaptogens, probiotics, and superfoods. They’re tasty and creamy, and they pack an energy boost without the crash. SRP: $69

Sakara Life Meal Plan

Sometimes we forget to eat when we should (and to eat right) when we get too caught up with work. And then we don’t eat well because we’re probably less interested (or energized) to cook. Sakara Life is among the healthier meal plan options on the market. Completely plant-based, Sakara Life offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner up to five days per week. Sample menu items include chia coconut waffles with served with coconut nectar drizzle for breakfast; a veggie satay bowl with vermicelli rice noodles, sugar snap peas, and purple sweet potatoes with a savory almond butter sauce for lunch; and wild mushroom pasta with sautéed spinach and black truffle oil for dinner. SRP: Plans start at $27 per day for two meals for two days per week, running up to $70 per day for three meals a day for five days a week.

Papier ‘Le Moderne’ Bullet Journal

The practice of bullet journaling has become a popular pastime over the last few years, elevated to as much as an art form depending on the type of writing utensils one chooses to use, from calligraphy pens to colorful markers. But a journal is still inherently personal, so the best part about using a bullet journal is you can make it your own for whatever purpose, whether that be organizing your schedule or tracking a wellness routine. Papier, a stationery brand founded by Taymoor Atighetchi, produces beautifully designed, personalized stationery—from notebooks and notecards to planners and writing paper—and all products are made-to-order. The London-based company offers a multitude of designs through collaborations with artists, illustrators, and designers around the world, using high-quality, sustainably-sourced paper. SRP: $27 for a standard “Le Moderne” journal with bullet-print pages; $33 for the “Joy” wellness journal

Paravel Packing Cubes

Chances are if you’re the type to stay organized in your digital life, you’ll want to be just as organized in your analog life. And truly, the first step to a better trip is to pack better. Packing cubes are should always be your travel companions, keeping your suitcase organized from door-to-door. Made from 16 recycled plastic water bottles, Paravel’s packing cubes are certified by the Global Recycle Standard and Oeko-Tex Standard 100 protocols. And on top of being made well, they look great. SRP: $65
