What to give to the boss?

Presenting a good gift is not an easy task, because it must be appropriate and enjoyable for the recipient. Even close people can find it difficult to choose the right present. The situation with the authorities is even more serious. Nonetheless Some dates cannot be ignored, because a gift from the team shows respect and attention to the leader. Let’s figure out what can be given to the boss.

Choosing a gift for a female director is a responsible event. This issue should be taken seriously, you can’t just buy the first thing that comes to mind. First of all, it is important not to forget that your boss is a woman. Therefore, you need to try to maintain balance on a fine line, taking into account both the status and gender of the recipient of the presentation. When choosing you should consider several basic nuances.

• Age of female leader. This factor will help narrow down a wide range of ideas. For example, a young boss is unlikely to enjoy a too conservative present. If your boss is a woman of mature age, on the contrary, you should avoid creative and humorous gifts. In addition, knowing the exact age will help in the event of a director’s birthday. Gifts for the anniversary should be especially thought out and memorable.
• The size of the company. If you work in a small company, you can choose something modest for the boss, but with taste. Officiality is not so fundamental here, creative ideas are acceptable. A large company requires the presentation of a discreet, but expensive subject.
• Hobbies of the boss. If you know about the favorite activities of the leader, you can really please her with something related to these interests.If you don’t know anything about the boss’s personal life, it’s better not to guess, but to choose something neutral.

Another important point is packaging. You should not choose bright colors or funny patterns for decoration. It is better to give preference to concise colors (brown, burgundy, dark blue, dark purple) and pastel shades. Also, golden packaging is always appropriate, which emphasizes the status of the recipient.

A beautiful living plant in an elegant pot will appeal to the one who seeks to make the office space more comfortable. In this case, you will succeed in combining practicality (the plant purifies the air) with soulfulness (such a green decoration will daily remind you of the attention of the team to your superiors).

Florarium is another option for landscaping your office. Exotic plants in an original vase in the shape of a sphere or a cube will surely please a young woman holding a high post. The idea is original, fresh and modern.

A compact aquarium with a fish is an excellent remedy for stress, which is full of a solid position. However, the choice of such a gift should be approached with caution. Although caring for such a "pet" is minimal, it is still a big responsibility compared to the same plants. It is not known whether the boss will have the opportunity to feed the fish daily, because often the management is connected with traveling. Of course, this can be done by the secretary, but it is also not always convenient.

Mini fountain. But this present is perfect. Beauty and presentability are combined with functionality, because it is a kind of humidifier. In this case, the item performs a decorative function and does not require any maintenance. A good present is an expensive tea pair.

You can also buy good green or black tea (if the managing company is its connoisseur). Quality coffee will please the one who loves this invigorating drink. It is important to know about the tastes of the boss. Beautiful vase - also a universal option. On holidays, women are usually given flowers. Therefore, a stylish vase in the office will never be superfluous.

Given from the team casket performs 2 functions. You can put jewelry or some useful little things in it. She can also decorate a dressing table. Of course, such a gift is intended for home and not for office. The box can be made of any material, but it should not be cheap. Sophisticated design and impeccable quality are decisive here.

Flash card. It is difficult to imagine the modern life of a business person without a computer. A young female boss can appreciate a flash drive with an original design.

Strict business accessories are not exactly what a person expects to receive in honor of the holiday. But if you know your boss very poorly and are afraid to make a wrong choice, you can purchase it in a specialized store status but graceful diary. Of course, such an item must be complemented with a luxurious bouquet.

Another option is pen of a famous high-end brand. Let it be beautiful, with an interesting design. Since the recipient of the gift is a woman, you can stop the choice not on a laconic black or blue version, but on a product of a gentle pastel tone with gold details.

If your company is small and has a friendly atmosphere, and relations with management are not very formal, you can show imagination (within reason, of course). Can be presented to the boss mascot productwhose name can be found by date of birth. It may also be some kind of figurine symbolizing, for example, success and financial well-being. An interesting option is the "tree of happiness."

Any woman will appreciate the certificate for visiting the SPA-salon. Relaxing massage and beauty treatments not only benefit the appearance, but also allow you to relax, distract from business. Certificate for perfume shop also will not be a miss. If you don’t give perfume to the leader herself, then you can completely present the certificate.

Services for creating portraits by photo Today, many artists offer. Pictures are made in different techniques. Choose a good specialist, do not forget to see his portfolio. Work must be done professionally.

And if you reliably know that the boss prefers activity and adventure, you can offer her something extreme. For example, a lot of impressions will give balloon flight.

If your leader communicates with subordinates in a simple way, you can surprise her with your creativity. For example, you can do it yourself in a graphical editor playful diploma or give a certificate for 1 hour of overtime work of the whole team.

If you don’t have the opportunity to buy an expensive item for your boss, you can choose something modest but enjoyable. Interior items and pleasant little things that make the office of a female director more comfortable are a good option. It could be anti-stress pendulum, elegant wall clock, miniature humidifier or something else.

In some cases, you can limit yourself to some flowers (for example, on the day of March 8). Properly composed bouquet can perfectly complement any main present. If you know what flowers your boss prefers, select them. If this nuance is a secret for the team, you can stay on the roses. This is a classic option.

Many consider the best gift. a book. However, in this case it is also worth knowing about the tastes of the person for whom you choose a literary masterpiece. Otherwise, your present will only cause bewilderment of the person being presented and will simply gather dust on the shelf. Romance novels, cookbooks, and other female-related options are inappropriate here. It can be classic or some kind of informative literature (but only if it is really interesting to your boss).

It should be noted that although the cost of the presentation should not be too high (no more than the amount of the monthly salary of the average employee), too cheap an option would also be a bad idea.

Trying to make your leader pleasant, it’s important not to “go too far”. Inadvertently chosen gift, you can spoil the mood or even offend a person. We will figure out what to give in no case.

• Office tools. This is not the best gift for a woman, even if she occupies a high post. As already mentioned above, in extreme cases, it is permissible to present a luxurious diary or an expensive pen for a holiday. However, they should not be too boring and similar to men. Keep this in mind when choosing a color scheme and design objects.If you buy a brown or black business card holder, even being expensive, it will make a negative impression. A flash drive should also not be ordinary, but elegant and beautiful.

• Jewelry. A beautiful gold watch or bracelet with precious stones from a famous brand is a luxury gift. However, in this situation, this may seem like a bribe.

• Personal things. Remember about subordination. Even if you have a warm relationship with the leadership, you should not present objects that only close people can give on holidays. These are cosmetics, perfumes, wardrobe items (including scarves, gloves), accessories (glasses, bags), household items (slippers, towels, bath accessories). Of course, you should not even think about buying underwear.

• Kitchen tools. The set of pots or pans presented on the day of the holiday to the female director may be perceived as an insult or a mockery. Home appliances (microwave, food processor, slow cooker, etc.) are also not the best option. You cannot know if a woman needs this technique. Perhaps she already has a similar apparatus in her home. And some business women do not cook at all and prefer to eat in restaurants.

• Alcohol. Male bosses are often given elite alcohol for the holidays. But in the case of a woman, this is inappropriate. Even if it is not brandy, but expensive dry wine or champagne, the present is unlikely to please your boss.

• A subscription to a fitness club or a visit to a beauty salon. If relaxation in the SPA massage parlor is associated with the opportunity to relax after a busy week, then such a gift can be perceived as an insulting hint. Everything related to body shaping, facial and hair procedures is unacceptable in a business environment.
