Work Anniversary Gifts Mugs for Baristas
Another year of not quitting. That deserves more than a LinkedIn notification. The perfect mugs for the baristas in your life.
Why Mugs 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.
Your coffee mug is the first thing you reach for every morning and the last line of defense against losing it in the 9am standup. A good mug doesn't just hold your caffeine addiction - it communicates your entire personality without you having to speak to anyone before 10am. These mugs say what you're thinking so you don't have to.
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.
- Are these mugs dishwasher safe?
- Yes. Dishwasher safe, microwave safe, and safe from your judgmental coworker's opinions. The print is sealed and won't fade with washing.
- Are these about difficult orders?
- Some are. The 27-modification drink gets its moment.
