Steaming Teacup Still Life Card shows “Sorry for your loss. And by loss, I mean working with us.” printed under a teacup, and those words turn a gloomy condolence into a warm, dry farewell. The joke is for someone who knows how much you will miss them at the office, and it works best when the reader catches the wink.
Ships with a kraft envelope; envelope color in photo may vary.
Artwork and lettering
A pink and gold teacup sits on a matching saucer on a pale tabletop, with thin wisps of steam curling up from the cup. Behind it a bright window lets in soft morning light, and the blurred green outside shows the day has just started. A small succulent in a glass sits at the left edge, balancing the cup on the table. The printed message sits low in brown serif letters, centered under the scene, in three short lines. The lettering is plain enough to read at a glance. The whole picture feels quiet and cozy, which makes the joke land softer. It is an office kind of calm, with a cup of tea and a window.
Made for this crowd
People who notice the first line usually grin before they read the second. Coworkers who have shared a kitchen, a deadline and a few bad meetings get it immediately. You can send it to a boss who is retiring, a teammate heading to a new job or a friend who is moving across the country. The card speaks to anyone who will miss the daily routine of the office and wants to say so with some humor. A real moment: a colleague announces a last day on Friday, and this card is the one that gets passed around the desk cluster. Sign it with a short note about the coffee runs you will miss.
Moments it suits
Give this card at a farewell lunch, when everyone is already laughing and the joke adds to the mood. It also works on someone's final day, tucked into a desk drawer or left with a small goodbye gift. You can slip it into a coworker's bag before they head out for a new job or hand it over during a team send-off. The Greeting Card style is simple to pass along, and the single natural colorway keeps the look calm and classic.
- What does the joke on the card mean?
- The printed line starts with a condolence, “Sorry for your loss,” then twists it with “And by loss, I mean working with us.” It tells the reader that you are sad to see them go from the office, not that anyone has died. The humor works best with coworkers who share daily routines and office habits.
- Who gets the most from this card?
- Coworkers, bosses and office friends who are leaving the team will get the most from this card. It suits someone retiring, changing jobs or moving to another city. Anyone who has worked beside the reader and knows their habits will catch the wink in the teacup scene right away.
- When is the best time to give this card?
- The best time is at a farewell lunch, a desk send-off or on the person's last day. Hand it over while people are still gathered so the joke gets a laugh. You can also leave it in a desk drawer or slip it into a gift bag before they head out for a new office.
