Boss's Day Gifts Tote Bags for Receptionists
October 16th. The day we acknowledge that some managers are actually human. The perfect tote bags for the receptionists in your life.
Why Tote Bags for Receptionists
Receptionists do everything. Answer phones, manage visitors, handle packages, know everyone's schedule, and somehow smile through it all. You're undervalued and overworked.
Your commute bag is a daily statement piece whether you like it or not. Instead of a boring black laptop bag or a free tote from a conference, why not carry something that makes people on the train do a double-take? These bags hold everything you need while broadcasting exactly how you feel about Monday mornings.
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.
- How big are the tote bags?
- 15" x 16" with a 4" gusset - fits a laptop, lunch, and the emotional weight of your responsibilities. Handles have an 11" drop for easy shoulder carrying.
- Are these about difficult visitors?
- Some are. The ones who ignore the 'please sign in' sign get referenced.
