Work Anniversary Gifts Coasters for UX Designers
Another year of not quitting. That deserves more than a LinkedIn notification. 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 Work Anniversary Gifts
Work anniversaries are weird. On one hand, staying somewhere for 5, 10, or 20 years is genuinely impressive. On the other hand, corporate usually 'celebrates' with an auto-generated email and maybe a branded pen. Your coworker deserves better. They've survived layoff scares, desk moves, at least three different org charts, and that one terrible manager everyone pretends didn't exist. Honor the endurance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What work anniversaries should I acknowledge?
- The big ones: 1 year (they made it!), 5 years (they're committed), 10+ years (they're basically furniture). Everything in between is optional unless you really like the person.
- Isn't this HR's job?
- Technically yes, but HR is going to send a form email and maybe a $25 gift card. You can actually make it meaningful—or at least funny enough to be memorable.
- 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.
