Show Appreciation for Your Employer With These 7 Unique Gifts for Boss

Are you aware of the upcoming holiday that falls on October 16th? It’s National Bosses’ Day in the United States – a day intended for showing appreciation to our employers. Considering that your boss is a person you probably have to spend a lot of time with, it’s really a fantastic idea to find a unique gift for your boss and present it to him or her on this day.

You don’t have to get crazy with Bosses’ Day gifts. It’s appropriate to give a token gift like a card, a gift certificate to the local coffee house or a small bouquet of flowers. But if you and your boss feel a special sense of camaraderie, you might want to go above and beyond these small, superficial gifts and choose a truly impressive present. Consider the following suggestions for distinctive gifts your boss is sure to appreciate:

1. A Classic Hand-Blown Wine Decanter

 

Isn’t it odd that some of the world’s most delicious wines come packaged in boxes? Perhaps your boss has a thing for boxed Vinoteca Pecorino or one of the other fabulous boxed wines that are currently available. If so, here’s a fantastic gift idea: Grab a box of the wine your boss likes best plus an extra special decanter to serve it from. 

This hand-blown wine decanter is a stylish way to present any beverage that your boss might happen to enjoy. It’s made of durable borosilicate glass, so it can withstand hot and cold temperatures. This is ideal if your boss might try using the decanter for serving beverages other than just wine. 

2. A Customized Golf Ball Decanter Set

If you know your boss spends all his free time out on the golf course, you could consider getting him a golf-themed gift. One possibility is this elegant engraved golf ball decanter set. The tray in this set cleverly mimics the look of the green on a golf course. There’s an entire collection of coordinating golf-themed accessories. This gives you the option to create your own bundle that also includes extra golf glasses, golf coasters and other items.

3. A Globe-Shaped Decanter With a Ship Inside

Does your boss enjoy going on cruises, sailing or spending time traveling? This globe-shaped decanter would make a unique gift for a boss who lives to set sail for far-off ports or just spend a few weekend hours cruising around the closest local waterways.

The decanter is known as “Magellan’s Victoria Decanter” because its impressive design evokes mental images of Magellan’s legendary voyages. The bowl of the decanter is constructed of sturdy borosilicate glass. For the base, you get to choose your boss’s favorite surface; you can choose from multiple materials including acacia wood, oak or metal. Engraving is also available, so you can personalize the decanter to make it an especially meaningful gift. 

4. A Gourmet Gift Basket Filled With Fruit or Other Treats

Everybody needs to eat, so you might want to consider presenting your boss with a basket you’ve filled with delicious-looking gourmet delicacies. If you don’t know your boss well, this is a relatively safe gift idea; however, even with an edible gift, there are some possible pitfalls to be aware of. If you aren’t already acquainted with your boss’s dietary habits, you’ll want to ask around the office before gifting candy (in case your boss is diabetic) or sausage (in case your boss’s religion prohibits pork or s/he’s a vegetarian). If in doubt, you’d be safe with selecting a fruit basket.

5. A Fancy Wooden Cheese Board With Knives

Perhaps your boss is a foodie – but even if s/he’s not, most people enjoy eating and serving cheese. An impressive cheese board would make a fantastic gift, although it’s prudent to make sure your boss isn’t vegan before selecting this gift. You get bonus points if you grab some delicious-looking specialty cheeses from the store to present to your boss along with the cheese board.

6. An Intriguing Desk Toy

If your boss doesn’t already have some sort of desk toy hanging around the office, that would be a great gift idea to consider. Possible options to consider include a game of desk golf or a set of magnetic balls. 

7. A High-Quality Water Bottle

Everybody needs to stay hydrated at work, so a water bottle is always an appropriate gift – especially if you ever see your boss drinking out of paper cups at the water cooler. It’s ideal to choose a premium stainless steel or glass bottle rather than a plastic one.
