Gifts for Your Boss

gift ideas for boss
​Gifts for your boss are not expected but make thoughtful gestures, especially if you have a boss you want to show appreciation for, and your office environment is big on celebrations. Below, we're sharing boss gift ideas for all occasions and answers to common questions.

​Is It Appropriate to Give a Gift to Your Boss?

​Generally speaking, yes, but with everything, there are always exceptions. A Valentine's day gift is inappropriate. You most likely wouldn't do a birthday gift unless it's a group gift for a milestone number or the office environment is big on birthdays. 

Occasions that are generally acceptable to partake in are Boss's Day, Christmas, wedding showers, baby showers, and retirement parties. 

What Should I Get My Boss for Appreciation?

​​When looking for gifts for your boss, don't get too personal. Try to stick to what's on their registry or generic items such as food, gift sets, or alcohol gifts if the workplace environment allows for them. Other options to consider are decor for their office or desk and personalized practical work items such as pens, journals, and tumblers. 

​Is Boss's Day the Same Every Year?

​Yes, National Boss Day is observed annually on October 16. 

​What Do You Do for Boss's Day?

​How to celebrate is up to you and your colleagues, and should fit with the atmosphere of the company. You can go solo with small individual gifts or cards left in their office or celebrate together as a team by decorating their desks, enjoying celebration treats, or giving a group gift.
