Gift Idea - Employee for boss
« on: December 21, 2015, 06:54:42 PM »
Hello,

I need a last minute gift idea - something I can buy in store (need it by tomorrow) for non Jewish boss. First year at this company, and just found out I am expected to bring a gift to the holiday party tomorrow in the thirty dollar range. I got some chocolate gift boxes for secretaries, and prefer something a bit nicer for the boss. Any idea? Thanks

ETA: Other than golf, boss doesn't profess any interests hobbies.

Good idea, but not sure he drinks. He doesn't drink coffee, and I have never seen him consume alcohol at business events. He does love donuts, but I just brought that for chanuka!

Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

To give you guys/gals a better idea, gifts others I know in positions similar to mine have bought are, a book and coffee set, for a boss that is intrigued/obsessed with the book topic and an avid coffee drinker. Or a scotch set for a scotch drinker. Other than donuts and golf - I guess my boss is boring, since don't hear about hobbies interests. Actually, he's quite into republican politics - he has a picture of him and G.W. hanging in his office, put not sure if he's into Trump, etc...

If you're able to, get him a box of Titleist Pro-V1 golf balls. They're well known as the best golf ball around and he'll appreciate the thought. A box of 12 should run around $30.

You can find them is most sporting goods stores (sports authority, dick's, modell's, etc)
I doubt target or walmart would have it but you never know.

Every year is different but this RH I gave my assistant a bottle of Cave and a $200 gift certificate to a nice local restaurant. This is besides a company bonus on his check.
Some other things I've done in the past-each summer I book him 2 rooms for several nights in Lancaster along with Dutch wonderland tickets, toys for his kids, gift certs for his wife to a local jewelery shop, fruit/candy platters, and nice bottles of Scotch.
I am running out ideas though so if you have other ideas, please post.

Depends what you have to offer
And BTW I don't do that will all of my employees, just my assistant. I know what a difference an awesome Assistant could make to the entire operation so I really appreciate him. Other employees I do smaller things like a cheap bottle of schnapps, small $10-20 gift cards to Target or Starbucks, etc.

Unless it's less than $50. Then give a gift.

With an attitude like that I'm sure he would be thrilled.
