Gifts for Coworkers - Mugs for Butchers
You turn whole animals into dinner, work in freezing conditions, and somehow explain the difference between cuts to confused customers.
Why This Works
Butchery is skilled craft work in cold conditions. You're an artist with a knife and an educator for everyone's dinner.
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.

Things to Consider for Coworkers
- *Remember: anything you give might end up on their desk where your boss can see it
- *Avoid inside jokes that require explanation—if HR asks, you want plausible deniability
- *Consider their desk real estate—not everyone has room for a novelty item collection
