FOR THE WORK BESTIE WHO HAS YOUR BACK
You know the one.
The person you actually look forward to seeing at work. The one who clocks your mood before you’ve put your bag down. Who gives you that look across the room when someone starts talking absolute rubbish.
Your work bestie. Let’s give her some credit.
SHE MAKES YOUR DAY BETTER
Sometimes it’s the morning catch-up. Sometimes it’s a coffee appearing on your desk.
Sometimes it’s laughing at something so ridiculous you can’t explain it to anyone outside the building.
The work hasn’t changed. But having her there makes the day feel lighter.
SHE HAS YOUR BACK
She notices when you’re getting buried and asks what she can take off your plate. She gives you credit when someone else forgets to. And when you need a second opinion, she’ll tell you the truth—even if it’s, “Babe, don’t send that email yet.”
Support and a little sense. A useful combination.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN THE WHOLE BLOODY STORY
She knows the people, the deadlines and exactly why “just a quick favour” has made your eye twitch.
You can get straight to the point. Being understood without a twenty-minute backstory is a small luxury on a busy day.
SHE HELPS YOU BACK YOURSELF
A good work bestie reminds you what you’re capable of when you’re doubting yourself.
She celebrates the job you nailed, encourages you to speak up and notices the effort that often goes unseen.
Sometimes hearing “you’ve got this” from someone who’s seen you do the work is enough to get you moving.
SHE MAKES ROOM FOR A LAUGH
There’s a lot to be said for someone who can turn a frustrating afternoon into a story you’ll both still be laughing about next week.
The shared jokes. The lunch-break debriefs. The tiny victories that deserve a celebratory snack.
Those moments matter.
LET'S CELEBRATE HER
You don’t need to wait for her birthday or a leaving do to say you appreciate her.
Buy her a coffee. Leave her a note. Tell her, “You make this place better.”
Or choose a little pin that says something she’d absolutely say herself.
At Totes Babes, our Work Besties collection is for the women who get your humour, understand your side-eye and have your back through the daily nonsense.
Because she deserves to know she’s the best part of your working day.
