New Job Welcome Card: Desk, Lamp and Team Welcome

New Job Welcome Card shows a tidy desk with a lamp and a leafy plant, and the lines “Welcome to our team!” and “We're excited you're here!” greet a new colleague on their first day. The message is simple and warm, the kind you hope to hear before you've even found the coffee machine. It suits managers, team leads and colleagues who want a new hire to feel expected rather than overlooked.

Ships with a kraft envelope; envelope color in photo may vary.

Behind the design

The card centers on a light blue desk with tapered legs and a single drawer, set against a cream background. A navy desk lamp leans over the tabletop, its beam spilling softly onto the surface, and a small potted plant with spiky green leaves sits beside it. On the right, a tan office chair with armrests and a five-wheeled base is pulled up to the desk, casting a gentle shadow on the floor. The handwritten script above and below the scene keeps the mood friendly and personal, so the drawing feels like a workspace prepared for someone you are looking forward to meeting.

Who gets the joke

You will notice the card right away if you have ever started a job in a new office and wondered where you were supposed to sit. Managers, team leads and coworkers will recognize the moment when a chair and a lit desk are waiting for them on the first morning. The message needs no inside reference, so it works for almost anyone who is joining a team. You can hand it to someone who just accepted an offer, a colleague moving in from another department or a friend who has finally landed the role they wanted.

Gift and choice

This card fits well into a first-day welcome, an onboarding packet or a note left on a new hire's desk before they arrive. You might also give it when someone transfers into your team or moves up into a new role. Pick it when you want the greeting to feel genuine and unhurried, then add a line of your own about the first week ahead.
