Home business owners are a growing community worldwide as thousands seek new challenges and ways to strike a better work-life balance.

Whether they're called solopreneurs, gig operators, startup owners, one-person bands or microbusinesses, they're a formidable asset to the global economy.

That may be something as simple as a mousepad that 'feels' right – or something a lot more elaborate, such as a standing desk. But whatever you buy, you'll want to choose wisely – because there's nothing worse for productivity than getting frustrated by your home office setup.

So, whether you're thinking of things to add to your own gift list, or buying for a loved one who works at home, you'll want to get it right – and I can help. Here are 15 products that will absolutely enhance the working pattern of any home business owner. And I know it, because I've owned all of them (or very similar products).

If you're a home business owner, you've got a lot to keep an eye on. Watching the front door for packages and security shouldn't take up more time than necessary. Ring's latest Wired Doorbell Pro helps take some of that load off your shoulders. The live view and two-way talk will let you chat with clients at the front door, and the enhanced 3D motion detection will ensure you aren't bothered by unnecessary notifications. Video descriptions of the motion detection will help keep you updated with a mere glance. Let your business keep your attention, not your front door.
