New Job Gifts Coasters for UX Designers
Fresh start. New badge. Same existential dread but in a different building. The perfect coasters for the ux designers in your life.
Why Coasters for UX Designers
UX design is fighting for users while navigating stakeholder opinions and technical constraints. You see problems others create.
Every time you set your drink down, you see a little reminder that you're not alone in this corporate circus. Coasters are the unsung heroes of desk accessories - functional, unassuming, and now finally funny. They protect your desk from water rings while protecting your psyche with a well-timed joke.
About New Job Gifts
Starting a new job is equal parts exciting and terrifying. They've got new names to remember, a new coffee machine to figure out, and approximately 47 logins to set up. While everyone else is giving them generic 'good luck!' vibes, you can give them something that acknowledges the beautiful disaster of week one. Because nothing says 'I believe in you' like a gift that also says 'this is going to be chaos.'

Frequently Asked Questions
- When should I give a new job gift?
- Before their first day or during week one. After that, the 'new job' energy fades and it gets weird. Strike while the anxiety is fresh.
- What's a good new job gift under $25?
- Anything that makes their desk feel less sterile or gets them through afternoon slumps. Think: quality snacks, a funny mug, or a desk toy that won't get them fired.
- What are the coasters made of?
- Ceramic top with a cork bottom. The ceramic absorbs condensation, the cork protects your desk, and the design protects your sanity.
- Are these about stakeholders?
- Some reference the design-business dynamic. All in good fun.
