Boss's Day Gifts Coasters for Graphic Designers
October 16th. The day we acknowledge that some managers are actually human. The perfect coasters for the graphic designers in your life.
Why Coasters for Graphic Designers
Design is art meets client management. You create beautiful work while interpreting feedback like 'make it more fun but professional.'
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 Boss's Day Gifts
Look, not all bosses deserve gifts. But some of them? Some of them actually go to bat for you, approve your PTO without guilt trips, and shield you from the chaos above. Those bosses deserve recognition on Boss's Day—and not the generic 'World's Best Boss' mug that means nothing. A good Boss's Day gift says 'I see you trying, and I appreciate it' without being weird about the power dynamic.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I have to get my boss a gift for Boss's Day?
- Absolutely not. Boss's Day is optional, and honestly, a lot of bosses don't expect anything. Only do it if you genuinely want to—forced appreciation is worse than no appreciation.
- What if my boss is terrible?
- Then skip it entirely. There's no rule that says you have to celebrate bad management. Save your money and your energy for plotting your escape.
- What are the coasters made of?
- Ceramic top with a cork bottom. The ceramic absorbs condensation, the cork protects your desk, and the design protects your sanity.
- Are these about bad feedback?
- Some are. 'Make it pop' gets its own section.
