Boss's Day Gifts Mousepads for Janitors
October 16th. The day we acknowledge that some managers are actually human. The perfect mousepads for the janitors in your life.
Why Mousepads for Janitors
Janitorial work is essential and invisible. You see what people do when they think nobody's watching and clean it anyway.
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 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 size are the mousepads?
- Standard size (9.25" x 7.75") that fits any desk setup. Large enough to use, small enough to hide if the CEO does a walkthrough.
- Are these about messes?
- Some are. We've seen things.
