Gifts for Interns - Mugs for Search and Rescue
You go where others got lost. Search in conditions that would stop anyone else. And somehow find people who don't want to be found or couldn't find themselves.
Why This Works
SAR is a special breed. Volunteer hours, brutal conditions, and outcomes that range from miraculous to heartbreaking. You do it anyway because someone has to.
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.
