Eid Gift Guide 2010: His and Hers Home Office

This is the final installment of the Eid Gift Guide 2010, and also the last time (this year) that I will encourage you to buy a single-person workstation that costs $6,500 even if it looks EXACTLY like something straight out of “The Jetsons.” I promise. Maybe. But don’t hold me to it.

I put this together while thinking about the perfect home office for myself, and one for The Boss, too. At some point, we’d both like to have the option of working (solely) from home, and since the couch has a giant dent in it that looks EXACTLY LIKE MY BUTT, I think I’m already half-way there with little plans of getting up any time soon.

Dad, STOP READING ONE SENTENCE AGO.

While browsing for possible future-buys, I started thinking of all my friends who, irrespective of their day jobs, have something they’re really passionate about. Whether it’s volunteering, managing a small business, writing, taking photographs, painting or designing something, everyone needs a personal space where they can stick Post-It Notes all over the walls with their thoughts, plan their next big project, and talk on the phone undisturbed while sitting in a giant egg-shaped chair that’s hanging from the ceiling.

Oh, had you not thought that far ahead? Well I have, and my egg chairs are going to be AWESOME.

So, I leave you with this. A few odds and ends I’d like to have in my own personal space, and thought you might enjoy having in your: Writing Den? Thinking Spot? Craft Space? Geek Studio? Womb Room?

Whatever you call the place you go to be free, and to push the limits of your knowledge and imagination, this one’s for you.
