Desk Plates for Professors Under $10
Big laughs, small price tag. The perfect desk plates for the professors in your life without breaking the bank.
Why Desk Plates for Professors
Academic life is pressure from every direction. Publish or perish, student evaluations, committee work, and the myth of the easy professor life. These stickers get it.
That generic nameplate on your desk says 'Account Manager' but your soul says 'Professional Email Ignorer.' Our desk plates bridge that gap. They're the perfect blend of professional enough to stay on your desk and honest enough to make your coworkers snort-laugh. Finally, a nameplate that tells the truth.
About the $10 Budget
Let's be honest—you're not trying to win Employee of the Year with this gift. You're here because HR announced a Secret Santa with a $10 limit, or you need something for that coworker whose name you definitely know (it's... Steve? Maybe?). These gifts say 'I acknowledge your existence and chose chaos' without requiring you to skip lunch for a week.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are $10 gifts actually good or just sad?
- Depends on the gift. A $10 gift card feels like you gave up. A $10 coaster that says 'This Meeting Could've Been an Email' feels like you understand their soul.
- What's the best sub-$10 gift for Secret Santa?
- Something funny and universal. Avoid anything that requires knowing their taste (candles, snacks) and lean into shared office suffering. Everyone relates to hating Mondays.
- What are the desk plates made of?
- Premium acrylic with a high-quality print. They look professional enough to keep, but funny enough to actually want on your desk.
- Are these about students?
- Some reference the professor-student dynamic. Nothing mean.
