New Job Gifts Mousepads for Baristas
Fresh start. New badge. Same existential dread but in a different building. The perfect mousepads for the baristas in your life.
Why Mousepads for Baristas
Barista work is fast-paced, detailed, and underappreciated. You're an artist, chemist, and therapist before most people are awake. These stickers get the coffee grind.
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 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 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 difficult orders?
- Some are. The 27-modification drink gets its moment.
