Mousepads for Copywriters Under $25
The Goldilocks zone of workplace gifting. The perfect mousepads for the copywriters in your life without breaking the bank.
Why Mousepads for Copywriters
Copywriting is invisible craftsmanship. Great copy looks easy because you made it that way through dozens of rewrites.
You spend eight hours a day moving a mouse around in circles while your soul slowly leaves your body. The least you can do is have a mousepad that understands. These aren't just functional desk accessories - they're tiny billboards for your inner monologue. Every click is a little more satisfying when it's on something that gets it.
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.

- What's the best $25 gift for someone I don't know well?
