Top 3 Bosses Day Gifts For 2010
Anyone know what October 16th is? B-Day..
..
Bosses Day, that is.
Some people equate it with D-Day and think that Bosses Day is just another holiday made up by the gift retail industry or Hallmark.
Others think it is the creation of the ultimate brown-noser.
Whatever the case, Bosses Day has been around since 1962 so is not likely to fade away For those that are boss gift-challenged, I have a few pointers that may help: 5 Boss Gift Tips 1.
Personalized but NOT too Personal - Unless you are having an affair or want people to think you are, stay away from boss gifts that are too personal - perfume or aftershave is a definite no-no.
2.
Avoid Brown-Nosing - The best way to avoid being labeled as a brown-noser is to make the gift to your boss from the whole office or team, not just you.
3.
Don't Embarrass Your Boss - Gifts that are too expensive, too personal, or too sappy can just make things uncomfortable.
I know someone who gave his boss a very expensive necklace and this was wrong on all accounts.
In a previous year, that same person gave her a sappy card and insisted on reading it out loud in front of everyone.
Ugh! 4.
Help Morale - Nothing makes a boss happier than a happy and productive team.
Gifts from the team or involving the team have lasting benefits.
5.
Be Creative - A present for your boss can be an opportunity to demonstrate your creativity and ingenuity so take full advantage.
Top 3 Bosses Day Gift Ideas Here are some of the best Bosses Day gifts that I have seen that fit these guidelines: 1.
Charitable Donation - A donation from you or the team to your boss's favorite charity strikes a nice balance of personalization, caring, and professionalism, plus it benefits charities.
2.
Custom Caricature - This is the most fun of the three ideas.
Have a caricature of your boss or the whole team created.
All you need is a good photo of your boss.
Incorporate hobbies, interests, or even funny quirks and you have a recipe for a fun Bosses Day gift that boosts morale too.
3.
Event Tickets - Whether it is a sporting event or a play, two tickets (boss + spouse) will be seen as thoughtful by the boss and his/her spouse.
Better yet, consider going with the whole team.
