Mousepads Gifts for Your Mentor
Passive-aggressive workspace decor for the digitally exhausted. For the person who taught you which battles to pick.
Why This Works
You spend eight hours a day moving a mouse around in circles while your soul slowly leaves your body. The least you can do is have a mousepad that understands. These aren't just functional desk accessories - they're tiny billboards for your inner monologue. Every click is a little more satisfying when it's on something that gets it.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What size are the mousepads?
- Standard size (9.25" x 7.75") that fits any desk setup. Large enough to use, small enough to hide if the CEO does a walkthrough.
- Can I wash it?
- Yes. Machine washable on cold, air dry. Because between coffee spills and stress-eating at your desk, it's going to need it.
- Does it work with all mouse types?
- Works with optical, laser, and trackball mice. We can't help if your mouse is as old as your company's software, but we tried.
- Is the rubber backing actually non-slip?
- Yes. It stays put during normal use and aggressive deadline-driven clicking. We've tested it under stress conditions.
