Coasters for Baristas Under $25
The Goldilocks zone of workplace gifting. The perfect coasters for the baristas in your life without breaking the bank.
Why Coasters for Baristas
Barista work is fast-paced, detailed, and underappreciated. You're an artist, chemist, and therapist before most people are awake. These stickers get the coffee grind.
Every time you set your drink down, you see a little reminder that you're not alone in this corporate circus. Coasters are the unsung heroes of desk accessories - functional, unassuming, and now finally funny. They protect your desk from water rings while protecting your psyche with a well-timed joke.
About the $25 Budget
Twenty-five bucks is the universal 'I put in effort but didn't remortgage my house' price point. It's what most office gift exchanges land on because it's high enough to get something decent and low enough that nobody feels weird. This is the budget where you can actually impress people—or at least make them snort-laugh in front of HR.
