Bosses who have become mentors and a source of inspiration deserve some kind of appreciation from time to time. If you have a friendly relationship with your boss and you’re considering gifting him/her, here are a few things to consider.
- The relationship you have with him/her
If you’re super close to your boss, you might want to get something you’re sure they’d like. But if you have a distant relationship with your boss, you might consider getting something very simple and generic to avoid any surprises or awkwardness.
2. Your wallet space
Although your boss deserves all the good things in the world, you should have a budget when purchasing a gift for him or her (or for anyone at that). Don’t go above your budget trying to get in your boss’ good books. Remember, simplicity is key!

3. What he/she talked about wanting to have
It’ll be quite thoughtful and sweet of you to get a gift based on a harmless hint from your boss. He/she might have earlier stated the need for a new set of golf clubs. If you can afford it, you can pool a surprise by getting it.
4. Your boss’ personality
Before buying a gift, bear it in mind the kind of personality your boss has. You don’t want to buy a vintage bottle of whiskey only to find out he/she does not drink. If you want your gift to be appreciated, buy what suits your boss’ personality.
