Whenever you need help billing your hours, scheduling your meetings or just can’t seem to figure out what went wrong with the formulas in Excel, there’s always one person at the office to save the day – your administrative assistant.

A 2013 study by office supply retailer Staples revealed that the administrative assistant is the most trusted employee, ahead of both the boss and human resource specialist. Additionally, two-thirds of employees believe the admin assistant is the biggest asset to the office. In 2014, Staples conducted a similar survey and found that, for a second year in a row, majority of employees said their admin boots office morale and is a better team player than the boss.

Your admin assistant is the office guru – he or she is multitalented, and goes above and beyond for both you and the company. On April 27, it’s time for all you business professionals out there to thank your real-life Pam Beasley/Halpert.

Show some appreciation by sending your admin assistant a thank you card. Order your desired style today, and receive 10 percent off your purchase. Just use the promo code “BSM416” at checkout.

Here are four cute ideas for what to write in the card:

1. From sending forms and fixing files, to sorting through those paper piles, we thank you. From completing tasks with time to spare, and always knowing what goes where, we thank you. Happy administrative assistants day to our favorite teammate, working with you is extremely great!

2. Thank you for typing my emails and reports, you sure never cut me short. Thank you for placing orders for more office supplies and staying calm when tensions rise. Happy Administrative Assistant’s Day! I would be lost without you, by the way.

3. From your efficient ways to your hard-working days, we wanted to reach out and thank you for always knowing what to say. You’re both dependable and professional – this is just our small confessional. Our list of thanks goes on and on, but we don’t want to make you yawn. We’ll keep it short and sweet, but just know you can’t be beat. Happy Administrative Assistant’s Day to you, our office savior!

4. Thank you for teaching me the ins and outs of Excel and always knowing how to spell. From taking calls throughout the day, to reminding me that everything will going to be OK. You keep me calm when I am stressed and always know what to say next. Happy Administrative Assistant’s Day, please don’t stray away.
