Dark Humor Gifts Desk Plates
Because sometimes you have to laugh to keep from screaming into the void. Find the perfect desk plates that matches your energy.
Why Dark Humor Gifts Desk Plates
Dark humor isn't pessimism—it's advanced optimism. It's acknowledging that work can be soul-crushing while choosing to laugh about it anyway. These gifts are for the realists, the survivors, and anyone who's ever stared into the abyss of their inbox and felt it stare back. If gallows humor is your love language, welcome home.
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.
The Vibe
- “I survived another meeting that should've been an email”
- “My soul left my body in Q3”
- “Dead inside but still clocking in”
- “This job is temporary. My resentment is forever.”
