8 Great Gift Ideas For Your Boss This New Year

 

The New Year is a festive time, and it's time for loving, sharing, and celebrating. Undoubtedly, gifts serve as the most effective means of expressing one's emotions and intentions, and a thoughtful gift consistently receives a positive response. When it comes to choosing a New Year gift for your boss, many people often struggle, particularly when they are limited in funds or uncertain about their boss's preferences. With a few helpful tips and ideas, you will be able to pick the right gift for your boss, and a well-intentioned gift is bound to be treasured for a lifetime and is usually well reciprocated. 

A Desk Calendar/Planner

A desk calendar or planner would not only fit within your budget but also prove to be an ideal New Year gift for your “busy as always” boss. If your budget allows for some flexibility, consider gifting a set of matching desk calendar and planner. Your boss will have easy access to his appointment schedules, and every time he picks up the planner, it will remind him of your thoughtful gesture, regardless of his location. Pick a calendar or planner that goes well with your boss’s personality and taste. 

Gift Baskets

With a gift basket, you have the advantage of picking a custom-made gift basket, which can perfectly fit within your budget and gives you the flexibility of choosing individual items for the basket. If you are facing a paucity of time or if your budget allows, you can even opt for a pre-made gift basket. Choose from stationary items to luxury chocolates to expensive pen sets, cuff links, or perhaps some mini electronic gadget. Fill the basket with gifts that you believe will fit your boss's personality and be useful.

A Pen and Pencil Set

Although this may seem like a banal gift idea, an elegant and well-crafted pen set is usually well accepted and reciprocated and makes for an ideal New Year gift for your boss, be it male or female. You could even consider upgrading the pen and pencil set by getting it engraved with your boss’s initials or perhaps his company name. Just exercise your imagination well, and then decide on how you want to have it engraved. A wide variety of pen sets are available in wood as well as metal. If you don’t have time to go shopping at a physical novelty store, consider buying it online. This approach exposes you to a broader range of options, and numerous online stores provide substantial discounts during the holiday season.

I have tickets to a show, concert, or game.

This gift sure sounds like fun. Gift two or more tickets to your boss for a concert, game/sport, or perhaps a show or performance. It’s the best way to remind him that he too, like everyone else, needs to snap out of his busy schedule and enjoy a nice night out at his favorite venue. Before you buy that ticket for him, it is a good idea to find out about his favorite sport, music band, or performer. After all, you do not want to put him/her through an endurance test! If you are still unsure, take the advice of your colleagues or associates. 

Gift Certificates

With a gift certificate, you not only have flexibility with your budget but also with the type of gift. You could pick a gift certificate for his favorite restaurant or store, depending upon his preference and your budget. Gift certificates could range anywhere between $20 and $100, or perhaps more. Gift certificates are also available for online shopping, and this way your boss has an option to pick an item that best suits his/her requirement. Remember, with a gift certificate, you could never go wrong, especially if you are unsure of your boss’s likes and dislikes. 

Treat your boss to lunch at his favorite restaurant.

Let your boss indulge in some epicurean delights. Find out about his favorite cuisine and restaurants in town, and make sure to book a special table in advance, as festive time is typically busy. This way, you also get to spend quality time with him and talk shop while treating him/her to his favorite cuisine. 

You can never go wrong with a bottle of wine.

Well, consider this option only if your boss is not a complete abstainer. However, your boss will undoubtedly open the bottle on New Year's Eve, making it a perfect New Year's gift. Choose between expensive or inexpensive and red or white wine depending on your budget and your boss’s preferences. 

Golf Gifts

Find out if your boss is an avid golfer or even a beginner golfer. You can choose from a variety of golfing gifts available online that will also fit your budget.
