Two picks from our home office catalog, compared side-by-side by price tier, features, and suggested uses.
Auralex
Studiofoam Wedges (2" x 12-pack)
Typically under $100
The real thing, not the Amazon foam that crumbles in a year. Twelve wedges is enough for a small room's first reflection points, which is what actually matters.

Rain Design
mStand Laptop Stand
Typically under $100
Solid aluminum, no wobble, and it puts your laptop screen at proper eye height. Cheap plastic stands flex and slide; this one is a single milled block. Buy it, forget about it.
