7 Holiday Gift Ideas For Your Boss

Show your appreciation for a hardworking boss with any of these appropriate gift ideas to make for a Holiday they won’t forget.

The holidays are coming up fast, so don’t be left in the lurch and go into the office emptyhanded. If you’re having a difficult time finding the perfect gift for a great boss, we’ve got you covered. Whether your boss feels like a close friend or a higher-up you only see occasionally, this list will help you find an appropriate gift for the occasion.

1. A Sweet Surprise

We all know how long days at the office can drag, so help your boss get through those never ending work hours with the delivery of an awesome cookie arrangement. If your boss is a chocolate fiend, order a delivery of chocolate dipped strawberries or scrumptious chocolate chip cookies. A delivery of a sweet treat straight to their office is sure to surprise, and if you’re lucky your boss might be inclined to share—no promises, though.

2. An Injection of Office Fun

If you think you get bored and a little run-down during a tough work day, imagine how your boss feels. Put a little fun back in their life with a desk game that can provide a much-needed break during a stressful day. Wrap up a personal tabletop shuffle board or miniature pool table. You’re guaranteed to catch your boss playing a round or two during the day, and it may be the thing that impresses their next client—who wouldn’t like discussing a business acquisition over a good game of shuffleboard?

3. A Traveling Soul

If your boss is constantly on the go, jetting off to a business meeting across the country or even across the world, a travel-related gift might be just the ticket. A lightweight duffel bag could be the right choice, or a comfortable neck rest to make sleeping on a cramped flight just a little bit easier.

4. Therapy through Scent

Give your boss the gift of relaxation and healing with an aromatherapy diffuser. There are a variety of diffusers out that that can be selected to match any office motif, from wood grain modern options to plastic and inexpensive buys, your boss will love breathing in the wafting scents of essential oils. Provide a selection of essential oils to get them started and enjoy walking past their delicious-smelling office.

5. Work on the Go

If your boss is one of those that’s consistently running around town trying to make it to meeting after meeting, a laser projection virtual keyboard could be the thing to make their life easier—and give you points for being the most thoughtful employee ever. Doing business from a smartphone has never been easier, and all your boss will need is a clear, flat space. No more typing on a tiny screen again.

6. Caffeine Junkie

If your boss is never seen without a cup of coffee in hand, then your gifting ideas just got a whole lot easier. Don’t stick with the tired old coffee bean selection—make your present one they will never forget. Wrap up a gold-plated coffee filter; your upscale boss will love not having to buy coffee filters ever again, and the gold plating makes sure the taste is as filtered and delicious as it’s meant to be. For a more expensive splurge, get together with some coworkers and buy your boss a subscription for a monthly coffee delivery. A caffeine gift that keeps on giving; how can you go wrong?

7. Dinner on You

Treat your boss and their significant other to a relaxing date night with the gift of a decadent meal. Do some snooping and find out your boss’s favorite restaurant, then grab a gift certificate for the establishment and treat her or him and their spouse to a delicious night on the town. It will provide a needed break from the hustle and bustle of the office, and show you pay attention to your their likes and dislikes. If your boss is a busy parent, give them a gift certificate to a kid-friendly place so they can spend quality time with their little ones.

If you’ve got an awesome boss and want to show her or him your gratitude, this list will help you on your way. Show your appreciation for a hardworking boss with any of these appropriate gift ideas to make for a Holiday they won’t forget.
