Christmas gifts for your boss

A gift for your boss should be useful, tasteful and not too personal — good coffee or tea, a quality notebook, a desk accessory. Skip anything too expensive or intimate, and check whether your company has a gift policy first.

How to choose

  • Check the office policy: many companies cap gifts or ask that they come from the whole team.
  • A group gift from the team looks better than a solo present.
  • Consumables (coffee, tea, snacks) are safe; avoid perfume, clothing and alcohol unless you know their taste.
