These are the best mini electric fans you can shop online:

Low Noise USB Desk Fan Swing Type (P2,150) from MUJI

Most desk fans are made to just sit on the table and point towards one direction, but what sets MUJI’s apart is that this compact device actually oscillates. It sways horizontally up to an 80-degree range so more of your body can get a bit of breeze faster with no need for manual adjustment. The fan has two speed settings and even promises low-noise operation, so it won’t interrupt your video calls or distract you from your work.

Available online; see a list of MUJI stores.

Wino Mini Handheld Fan With Wireless Charging (P2,390) from Lexon

Perhaps the most #aesthetic device on this list, the Lexon handheld fan features a sleek, geometric build and a metallic finish that comes in rose gold, silver, and black. The aluminum fan can be left standing or held in one hand—depending on what you need in the moment—and can run for up to 4.5 hours on a single charge. The fan can even be used on Qi-compatible wireless charger pads for fuss-free recharging.

Available on the Rustan’s website.
