Gifts for Remote Coworkers - Mousepads for Sommeliers
You know wine better than most people know themselves, guide guests through intimidating lists, and somehow don't roll your eyes when they order 'the house red.'
Why This Works
Sommelier work is expertise meets hospitality. You make wine accessible while fighting the pretentious stereotype.
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
- Wine accessories with personality
- Water bottles (ironic)
- Locker decor
- Gifts for somms
- Personal gear
- Wine cellar entertainment
Things to Consider for Remote Coworkers
- *Get their shipping address casually—'for the holiday card list' sounds less stalker-y
- *Time zone math matters—don't send frozen goods to someone 3 days of shipping away
- *Remember that digital gifts (subscriptions, delivery apps) avoid the logistics entirely
