Hi,

I'm doing a bit of research and wondering if people could help.

I would like you to list the top 10 items you use or value most at your workplace or desk.

You can submit 2 answers if your work office and home office are different.

If you don't have 10 items thats fine :)

For example:

1. Macbook
2. iPhone
3. Stationary (Pens, pencils, paper)
4. Universal Dock
5. Wacom Tablet
6. External Keyboard and Mouse
7. External Monitor
8. Speakers
9. Hard Drives
10. USB Hub

others - lamp, phone, printer, fan, drink

Thanks!
Luke
