5. Save more than $10: A bamboo lap desk with a built-in fan

This desk—which comes with foldable legs that you can tuck underneath when not in use—is made out of bamboo, a.k.a. that wonderful material that helps dissipate heat in other stuff, too (like sheets). According to reviewers, the combo of bamboo and the USB fan inside work in tandem, so this bad boy really keeps your devices and your legs from feeling warm due to heavy usage. “Got this for use with a gaming laptop. Works perfectly, has enough room for the laptop and the mouse, the fan works great,” writes one reviewer.
