Desk Plates Gifts for Your Mentor
Your real job title, not the one LinkedIn approved. For the person who taught you which battles to pick.
Why This Works
That generic nameplate on your desk says 'Account Manager' but your soul says 'Professional Email Ignorer.' Our desk plates bridge that gap. They're the perfect blend of professional enough to stay on your desk and honest enough to make your coworkers snort-laugh. Finally, a nameplate that tells the truth.
Your mentor is the person who prevented at least three career-limiting moves you don't even know about. They answered your panicked 'quick question' that was neither quick nor really a question. They translated corporate speak into human language and warned you about the landmines in your org chart. A gift for your mentor isn't just appreciation—it's an acknowledgment that without their guidance, you'd probably have replied-all something catastrophic by now. They've invested their time and social capital in you. Return the favor without being weird about it.
