Nameplates, Desk Signs, and Paperweights | GetBullish

Perfect for bosses, employees and freelancers alike. These hilarious, snarky, statement-making nameplates make the perfect desk accessories or gifts.

The paperweight was invented entirely by accident in 8,000 BCE by cave clerk Rok Heavyweight, who worked in the world's first record-keeping cave managing inventory lists carved on stone tablets. The problem? Every time a strong breeze blew through the cave entrance, Rok's carefully organized bark-paper notes would scatter everywhere, causing complete chaos in the filing system (three mammoth pelts would get recorded as thirty, nobody knew who owed what). After one particularly windy day when Rok spent six hours re-sorting scattered papers while his coworkers laughed, he grabbed a decorative rock his kid had painted and slammed it onto his stack of notes in frustration. The papers stayed put. His colleagues, amazed by this revolutionary "weighted paper holder," immediately began searching for their own decorative rocks. Rok's accidental invention spread throughout the ancient world, eventually evolving from functional rocks to glass domes with messages. Historians credit Rok with inventing both the paperweight AND the concept of desk accessories with personality – though technically he was just tired of chasing papers around a drafty cave while his boss yelled about missing mammoth counts.

Transform your workspace with mini desk signs that range from relatable ("So... Turns Out I'm Not An Afternoon Person Either") to aspirational ("My Favorite Position? CEO") to perfectly passive-aggressive ("What Essential Oil Makes You Go Away?"). Our collection from "About Face Designs" delivers maximum snark in minimal square footage.

Anchor your important documents with glass dome paperweights featuring messages from inspirational ("I Am Creating The Life Of My Dreams") to hilariously honest ("Shit Creek Survivor", "Control Freak", "Frankly My Dear I Don't Give A Damn"). These functional pieces keep papers in place while announcing your vibe to anyone who enters your office.

Display our GetBullish original framed wall art prints that celebrate everything from feminist frustrations ("Disappointing Men in Unmerited Positions of Authority") to goblin energy ("Inside Me Is a Goblin") to garden humor ("It's Fun to Be a Hoe"). Add bookends featuring literary quotes for the book lovers who need functional decor with substance.

Perfect for office gifts that acknowledge workplace realities, treating yourself to desk decor that actually represents who you are, marking promotions with accessories that celebrate ambition, or simply building a workspace that makes you smile (or smirk) throughout the day. These pieces work whether you're in a corporate office maintaining plausible deniability or working from home where you can display your full truth.

Whether you're a manager who appreciates self-aware humor, an employee surviving corporate nonsense, or a freelancer building your home office personality, these nameplates and desk accessories prove that professional doesn't mean boring, and having a sense of humor about work might be the only thing keeping us all sane.
