Gift ideas for your boss

October 16th, 2015

Bosses are our indirect source of income. Whether you like them or no, the show of respect and words of flattery are very necessary to build a healthy relationship with your employer. When you want an increment or a promotion, the only thing which might work on your boss is a gift. Here are the top gift ideas for the money controller of your life.

  1. Perfume – Perfume actually is the first thing, which comes to mind when we think of gifting anyone a present. However, in the case of bosses, who meet many new people daily, wear a good personality, perfume makes for a great gift. Just make sure you do not buy one from a local shop unless you want a decrement instead of increment!
  2. A tie – A tie will not only cost you a bit cheaper but also win you a space in the heart of your boss. A tie is something he wears daily to work, and thus he sure does not have enough of them.
  3. Tickets to a sport event – If you are well aware of the interests of your boss when it comes to sports, a very out of the box and great gift idea will be tickets to an upcoming sport event. In exchange for this paper gift, you might get bigger paper gift as well, if you know what we mean!
  4. A pen – Now, of course, this has to be an exclusive pen. The one he can flaunt in front of his clients on his next meeting.
  5. Gift hamper – If you can collaborate with your colleagues, an assortment of gifts would be a cheap hamper. Each one can drop in their gifts into the basket. But do not forget to mention that the mastermind behind the idea was you!
  6. Desk clock – Gift him a nice, personalized clock for his desk so that every time he checks the time, he remembers you gifted the clock.
  7. Female Boss – If your boss is a lady, the gift options galore. From bags to watches, jewellery to cosmetics, you can choose from a variety of things. It is very easy to flatter women through gifts.
  8. Flower or chocolate bouquet – This gift never goes out of fashion, for anyone. Send across a flower or chocolate bouquet to your boss along with a note of appreciation for him/her.
  9. E commerce gift card – If you really are confused as to what gift would impress your boss, we suggest you gift him a gift card from a leading e commerce shopping portal so that the boss can make his own choice.
  10. A phone-cover – Because he would not mind putting on a new cover on his phone. Just get the model number correct and make a classy choice. If you can, get his/her name monogrammed on the cover.

Although most of us are always cribbing about our bosses, we must realize that they too are humans and professionalism is a part of the corporate world. So ago ahead and gift your boss any of the above. Remember, sometimes, even against our liking, flattery is important!
