Even in the barest of workspaces, there is an opportunity for a cool container to hold the things of work (like business cards that have not been digitized yet and the "never-leave-home-without-it" work badge). This leather catchall from West Elm is a great item to include because the quality and details make a statement about being organized and stylish, which always can benefit a professional reputation. Even if you office in a flexible environment and your "desk" is really more about you working on your notebook, this is a still a great tool to help your space feel more comfortable and less blank. The catchall can unsnap to become a flat piece that is handy to keep in a work bag/tote.

BTW, this catchall would also make an affordable father's day gift. This item is currently on sale and the look is so warm and modern that it could work in any environment. Perfect for a guy that could use a little help in making sure his workspace looks as good as he does. It's the little details that can make a huge impact.
