Boss's Day Gifts Desk Plates for Graphic Designers
October 16th. The day we acknowledge that some managers are actually human. The perfect desk plates for the graphic designers in your life.
Why Desk Plates for Graphic Designers
Design is art meets client management. You create beautiful work while interpreting feedback like 'make it more fun but professional.'
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 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 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 bad feedback?
- Some are. 'Make it pop' gets its own section.
