You Stand Out Among Bosses
Bosses are different - some are down to earth, some are sweet, thoughtful and kind, some speak to inspire while others are hardly ever around or supportive. The fact that you are reading this perhaps means your boss must be one of a kind. Congratulations! Not everyone ends up with charming and gracious bosses. So what should you get? Gifts are impressions that have a lasting effect and they are always a sign that you love, respect and treasure the receiver. It can be challenging getting a gift for people like our bosses who seem to have everything that comes to mind. But fret not, there are so many affordable gifts that are of great quality, elegant, classy and extremely beautiful that will melt his heart way when he receives them. Go for such gifts and you will be amazed at the reaction of your boss when he receives it.
What to Consider When Giving Your Boss a Gift
Give Him a Gift He Would Love And Appreciate
Have you ever received a gift that seemed more appropriate for the individual that gave it rather than you the receiver? Before giving gifts, consider the likes and dislikes of the receiver. Don't give a gift because you love it. The fact that you love it doesn't mean the receiver would love it too. Give a gift that focuses on the recipient instead of you the giver. A classic gift would be a bottle of wine, a gift that could be hung on the walls of his office or a small item for his desk. Well, it has been said that the best gifts are gifts that are related to your boss's interests. Find out his interests, his favourite team or some other game he loves and gets either a hat or a jersey of that team for him.
Aim At Pleasing And Not Impressing
The reason for giving your boss a gift is either to appreciate him for something he has done or maybe you are gifting a gift on the occasion of his birthday. Whichever it is, stick to the reason for gifting. Don't try to impress by buying an overly expensive gift or just to show to your boss that though he might be higher than you on the cadre but you can also afford the things he can. There is no need to impress your boss, give what is perfect and well suited for the occasion. An overly expensive gift can make you seem like you need special favour. Remember lavish gifts are never acceptable in the office. Keep it simple and classy.
Give It Your Personal Touch- DIY
A gift is a clear reflection of who you are and what you think of others. This is an opportunity to make let your boss see another side of your creativity. You can decide to make a handmade card, a throw pillow with an inscription "Cool Boss", A photo frame, A jar filled with chocolates and biscuits, a DIY desk organizer, a DIY gold Confetti mouse pad, a DIY business card or a DIY floating leaves and flowers. DIY gifts have a way of brightening the day for people once they see them. Make something that would last and be well appreciated. The gifts might be homemade but they will definitely hold a spot in his heart. Ensure they are attractive, colourful, neatly made, and well packaged before you present them to him. Giving a gift can sometimes go wrong if they are not well packaged and presented. You don’t want such an experience with your boss. It is better to remain in his good books than present something that will affect your relationship with him. Give him only the best!

Things to Avoid When Getting a Gift
Don't Exceed Your Budget
Keep it reasonable! Have a budget and stick to it. Don't buy something that is not within your means or budget. Stick with the budget and get a gift that will be deeply appreciated by your boss rather than overshooting your budget especially if you are not in a good financial position. The amount you spend on your boss depends on your relationship, your job title and that of your boss. Don’t break your back or bank, after all, your boss knows how much you make.
Don't Include the Receipt of the Gift
This happens when people deliver gifts without getting a carrier bag to present to the receiver. One way to avoid this is to ensure you have a special carrier bag, so when transferring the gift into the package, the receipt is removed. Another mistake that can happen when giving a gift is forgetting to remove the price tag. Always remember to remover price tags and receipts from the gift items you buy before giving the gifts out to the receiver.
Don't Get a Gift That Is Too Personal
Giving a gift that is too personal or intimate can make people feel uncomfortable or send a wrong move. Avoid getting inner wears which send a very wrong message, avoid gifting them body wash or lotions that might make them question their hygiene. Be neutral! Stay away from gifts that will make the receiver question why it was given. Give a gift that is pleasing and appropriate. For most parts, the gift should be something appropriate to show in the workplace.
