Farewell Gifts Mousepads for UX Designers
They're leaving. You're jealous. Make sure they remember you fondly. The perfect mousepads for the ux designers in your life.
Why Mousepads for UX Designers
UX design is fighting for users while navigating stakeholder opinions and technical constraints. You see problems others create.
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 Farewell Gifts
When a coworker leaves, it's bittersweet. You're losing someone who understood the specific brand of dysfunction at your workplace, but you're also watching them escape. A farewell gift should capture that weird mix of 'we'll miss you' and 'take us with you.' Whether they're moving to something better or just moving on, they deserve a sendoff that's more memorable than a sheet cake and awkward standing around in the kitchen.
