Why Mousepads for Professors
Academic life is pressure from every direction. Publish or perish, student evaluations, committee work, and the myth of the easy professor life. These stickers get it.
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 Thank You Gifts
At some point, someone at work went above and beyond for you. Maybe they covered your shift, talked you off a ledge before a big presentation, or quietly fixed your mistake before anyone noticed. Email thank-yous are nice. Slack reactions are fine. But a real gift says 'I noticed what you did and I'm not going to forget it.' In a workplace full of people just trying to survive, genuine appreciation stands out.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is it weird to give a random thank you gift?
- Not at all—it's actually refreshing. People rarely get recognized for the small stuff that keeps everything from falling apart. Random appreciation hits different.
- How do I thank someone without it being awkward?
- Keep it simple and specific. 'Hey, I got you this because you really helped me with [specific thing].' Don't make a huge production out of it unless they're into that.
- 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 students?
- Some reference the professor-student dynamic. Nothing mean.
