We'll always be big fans of desk mats. While our previous favorites were standard cutting mats, those were quickly replaced once we found out about the ALTI Wireless Charging Desk Mat. The ALTI features a premium vegan leather surface on one side and plush felt on the other, with a…

Depending on how serious you are about your personal writing instruments, you probably already have at least one or two pens from Dango Products. If you do, you’re familiar with their approach to manufacturing. Namely, they make attractive, durable pens and desk accessories out of machined aluminum. This pen tray…
