Gifts for Your Mentor - Mousepads for Line Cooks
You work in the heat, burn yourself daily, and somehow keep tickets moving when everything comes in at once.
Why This Works
Line cooking is the backbone of every restaurant. You're underpaid, overheated, and somehow still proud of every plate.
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.
What You Get
- -Smooth fabric surface for precision clicking through pointless emails
- -Non-slip rubber base that stays put during rage-clicking
- -Stitched edges that won't fray like your patience
- -Machine washable because desk snacks happen
Perfect For

Things to Consider for Your Mentor
- *Sincerity matters more than spend—they're not mentoring you for gifts
- *Personalization beats price—show you paid attention to their interests
- *A genuine thank-you note is mandatory regardless of what else you give
