I am wanting to make the most efficient use my desk space and am trying to get an idea as to what enhancement peoples have made on their desks. Only thing I could think of doing on my personal desk is adding monitor arms.

Headphone Stand

Coaster

Pop vinyl/Amiibo of your favourite character (I have a Charizard one) 

Desk mousepad

Got all of those. The Amiibo and vinyl collection will get considerably larger this year lol.

I don't know what tablet stand to get. For the longest time, I tried to get something for the surface pro 1 and couldn't find anything (was looking for something like an arm). Also don't know what to get for my ipad now that I'm using it with duet display.

Been thinking of getting a hub, but all of my monitors have multiple USB3 ports. My thing is that if I get a hub or card reader, I would like to mount it under the desk within arms reach.

There are plenty of flat readers, you could use velcro or a plastic strip to mount it. Perhaps a usb optical drive or sata dock, depending on your needs of course.

The fanciest thing I've got is a wood stand thing to boost my monitor up with. It's made of two different sizes of wood pieces, so I've got a perfectly sized space on the bottom piece of wood for stuff like sticky notes and a base to lean my drawing tablet against.

You could improve cable management with something simple like a hole in the back of the desk, you could attach a hook underneath the desk or a stand on the desk for your headphones, you could get a fancy mouse lead arm thing if you're a l33t FPS player. Just think outside the box a bit. Maybe have a look at the youtube channel DIY Perks, he's got a few cool projects for desk items you could try your hand at (like the really fancy volume dial)
