Going back to work after a long break is the worst. It’s like you’re in another world. You’ve forgotten what it’s like to get up in the morning, and your alarm is a foreign sound. And you probably haven’t put real clothes on in what feels like two years. But now, you need all the back-to-work coffee accessories you can get your hands on to get you through your first day—and week—back in the office.

But we have your back. We’re in the same boat with getting back into the full swing of things following the holidays. Even if you’ve been working through them, there’s definitely a different feeling going back to work the first day after the new year. All of that holiday magic is gone, and now things are just…blah.

Instead of hitting snooze over and over, let’s give you a little something to look forward to when you get up.
