Boss's Day Gifts Mugs for Search and Rescue
October 16th. The day we acknowledge that some managers are actually human. The perfect mugs for the search and rescue in your life.
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 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.
- Are these mugs dishwasher safe?
- Yes. Dishwasher safe, microwave safe, and safe from your judgmental coworker's opinions. The print is sealed and won't fade with washing.
- Do you cover different SAR disciplines?
- Mountain, wilderness, water, K9 - we're building collections for all of them.
