How to choose?
When choosing an elite gift, the leader should consider several aspects.
- Floor. It plays, perhaps, the main role in determining the gift.Despite the fact that most VIP-gifts for bosses are made in a business style and are suitable for both men and women, gifts for women are usually decorated more gently, edges are rounded on diaries, accessories are in lighter colors. And certainly a rare woman can give a weapon or a wine set.
- Character. Management methods are different for all bosses. Some directors keep the workers in the "gauntlet", and some, on the contrary, have familiar relations with the team. For the first type of bosses, business accessories or interior gifts are more suitable, while the second type can be easily presented with things for personal use.
- Preferences. Choosing a personal gift, you need to pay attention to the hobby of the leader. So, if your boss loves fishing, give him an expensive fishing rod, likes to relax in the fresh air - a tent.
- Amount. The spread in the cost of VIP gifts is quite large, so you can pick up a present for the amount that you have.
What to give with caution?
But there are elite gifts that you should not give to your leader or they should be chosen with great care. These are all kinds of cosmetics, even if they are very expensive. Not every man uses them, and a woman can even regard this as a hint that she does not look good. If you do not know exactly what perfume your manager uses, then it is very difficult to please both a woman and a man with a fragrance.
Caution should be given alcohol. The boss may have problems with drinking, which he does not share with anyone. This also applies to lighters or cigars, as your supervisor may try to break a bad habit.
If you give a gift to a leader who is in a public position, you must also be extremely careful with the value of the gift. Expensive presentations can be regarded as a bribe.
With care, you need to give pictures.
This is especially important if the present is presented to a person who is well versed in painting.
This should by no means be a cheap copy or framed poster. It is better to choose a painting from the author or a good reproduction of a famous painting.
Recently, it has become quite popular to give exclusive caricature statues as expensive gifts to managers. Presenting such a gift, you need to be sure of the sense of humor of your boss, otherwise such an image may offend. This gift is more suitable for a not very strict leader.
