All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. But maybe Jack doesn’t care. Maybe Jack is already a dull boy and is chiefly concerned with his workflow efficiency.
Sometimes the Jack (or Jacqueline) in your life just can’t pull out of a taking-care-of-business binge. Here are some gifts to help this busy bee keep his head on straight. It’s time to be an enabler.
AeroPress Coffee Maker
Ain’t no workaholic can get by without coffee, but that doesn’t mean they should have to suffer through crappy stuff or waste bunch of time on a pour-over. An AeroPress coffee maker delivers a nice, high quality cup of coffee with only a little bit of effort. Keep that work-fuel flowing.

ADATA DashDrive Elite 500GB
Cloud storage is fine, but a good workaholic would never trust something so nebulous as to take its name from mere water vapor. That’s where the DashDrive comes in. With a whopping 500GB of storage and a slim, portable form-factor, your workaholic can not only backup, but keep that backup handy at all times. Consider it your chance to be a life-saver this holiday season.

Livescribe Sky Smartpen
There’s not much that hasn’t gone digital, but there’s still some good old-fashioned pleasure to be had writing with pen on paper. Dull-boy Jack is sure to know this well. But organizing and archiving written documents is a huge hassle. A Livescribe pen will push even the most errant of scribbling to Evernote so that hastily scribbled phone number can be retrieved when it turns out it WAS important after all.

Logitech K810 Bluetooth Keyboard
One oft-neglected key to efficiency is getting really intimately acquainted with your keyboard. After all, you’re spending so much time together. The Logitech K810 will go steady with your workaholic by letting him easily switch between three different Bluetooth devices at will. Just try not to get jealous of their relationship.

Hyperjuice Plug
No workaholic (no one in general, really) should have to suffer from a dead device. With the Hyperjuice Plug on hand, your workaholic will never through another dead-phone temper tantrum again. Once it’s all charged up, your workaholic will be able to cut the cord without cutting the power.

A Good Desk Lamp
Being a workaholic involves a lot of late nights, and without proper lighting, those nights can turn into a wasteful snooze-fest. A nice desk lamp can help keep your workaholic awake and jazzed into the wee hours of the morning, or until the sun comes up if need be.

Homedics BKK-200 Shiatsu Lumbar Massager
Someone who sits in an office chair all day wants only three things.
1. Lumbar support.
2. A massage.
3. To not have to sit in an office chair all day.
Two out of three ain’t bad, and the Shiatsu Lumbar Massager can deliver. Just be wary of making that chair too comfortable. Your workaholic might fuse into it.

A Sweet Desk Fan
Just because you’re not moving doesn’t mean desk work isn’t sweaty work. Whether it’s time to sweat deadlines, sweat emails, or sweat the small stuff, a desk fan will keep your workaholic reasonably sweat free and reasonably happy. The Seville UltraSlimline should do the trick nicely.
