Mugs for Search and Rescue Under $25
The Goldilocks zone of workplace gifting. The perfect mugs for the search and rescue in your life without breaking the bank.
Why Mugs for Search and Rescue
SAR is a special breed. Volunteer hours, brutal conditions, and outcomes that range from miraculous to heartbreaking. You do it anyway because someone has to.
Your coffee mug is the first thing you reach for every morning and the last line of defense against losing it in the 9am standup. A good mug doesn't just hold your caffeine addiction - it communicates your entire personality without you having to speak to anyone before 10am. These mugs say what you're thinking so you don't have to.
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.
