The trouble with gifting desk people is that they've already bought everything they know about. This is the upgrade most haven't met yet: a bar that sits on top of the monitor, pours warm light over the keyboard, and steals zero desk space from the setup they've so carefully arranged.
The verdict
Give this to the person who spends dark winter evenings at a monitor. It upgrades their whole workspace without claiming a centimetre of it, and it's the kind of thing they didn't know existed until they can't work without it. Just confirm their monitor style can host it.
