Celebrating National Boss’ Day 2020It is important to remember that the leaders within our organizations have been dealing with the same adjustments that we have over these last several months and make an effort to recognize them for holding it all together. National Boss’ Day falls on Friday October 16th and presents a great opportunity to show our leaders that we appreciate their hard work and resiliency. Here we’ve compiled a few affordable gift ideas for your standout boss.

Appreciation Video

With so many people working remotely, putting together a short video where each team member expresses their appreciation for the boss or shares a story of how they have impacted their life can make for a very touching gift. Take it a step further by scheduling a zoom conference under the guise of a real meeting to present the video to them.

Charitable Donations

Making a donation to your boss’ favorite charity in their name can make a great gift and serve as reminder that the upcoming holiday season is about giving and not receiving. Make your best effort to choose a cause that you know is near and dear to your boss. This may take a bit of research, but personalizing a gift like this makes it that much more meaningful.

Personalized Coffee Mug

Coffee mugs may be the most traditional gift for Boss’ Day and there are a myriad of themes and designs to choose from. If you’re aware of your boss’ favorite sports team or other interests this will help you choose the perfect mug. You may consider taking it a step further and purchasing a mug that is personalized with their name and your company logo. Including a bag of quality coffee is a nice touch as well.

Fine Art Prints

Most bosses have an office or cubicle with blank wall space that may need some sprucing up. Fine art prints, live action sports photos, and framed motivational posters are all popular choices. Take a look at their current décor to determine the style and size of the print you want to purchase. Smaller tends to be better in an office setting.

Desktop Games

We’re not talking about computer games here. There are dozens of mini desktop games that you can purchase. Some of the most popular are billiards, basketball, foosball and pinball. These kinds of games can serve as entertainment during down time and a stress reliever. Fidget spinners may be all the rage right now, but being able to play a game of 9 Ball at your desk is hard to beat.

Their Favorite Snacks

Most people snack at the office and some keep a steady supply of their favorite treats. Find out what your boss likes to snack on, buy a card, and you’ve got your Boss’ Day shopping finished. Non-perishables are clearly the choice when it comes to gifting snacks, but if you find a particular favorite, that’s the way to go. We would highly recommend gift-wrapping the snacks so you don’t get tempted yourself

Their Preferred Alcohol

Not everyone drinks, at least they didn't prior to quarantine, but if your boss is particularly fond of a certain beer, wine or spirit, alcohol can make a great gift. Additionally, if you share the same taste, you may consider getting them one of your favorites to try. In over a decade of office experience I have yet to have a colleague dislike a gift of alcohol, and again, gift-wrap.
