Motivational Desk Gifts

Inspirational quotes for people who've given up on inspiration.

Why This Vibe

Traditional motivational posters assume you haven't been crushed by the corporate machine yet. Cute. Our version acknowledges reality: that 'reaching for the stars' usually means unpaid overtime, and 'teamwork makes the dream work' ignores that nobody asked about your dreams. These gifts motivate you to lower your expectations to a sustainable level.

The Vibe in Action

  • Shoot for the moon. If you miss, you'll die in space.
  • The only way out is through. Through what? Nobody knows.
  • Believe in yourself. Nobody else is going to.
  • Today is a gift. Keep the receipt.

Perfect For

  • Survivors of mandatory corporate culture workshops
  • Anyone allergic to 'hustle culture'
  • People who've read one too many LinkedIn thought leader posts
  • The coworker who visibly cringes at team-building exercises
