Ahead New Year holidays, and many find it difficult to choose a gift for their boss. In this delicate matter It is advisable to avoid bad taste and try to be as creative as possible. This means that thematic figures and printed products depicting the symbol of the coming year automatically disappear.
What should the gift be, collective or individual?
Practice shows that the team prefers to “chip in” for a gift for the manager. In this case, it would be a good idea to discuss the possible cost of the gift in advance. If your employees have limited financial resources, you should not collect a large sum and buy a very expensive gift. The director may not only not appreciate your gesture, but also wonder where his subordinates got that kind of money.
The optimal list of gifts for the manager for the New Year 2017:
Office chair;
- desktop organizer (it is better to choose color and material according to the preferences of the manager);
- a living flower in a pot (if you want to beat the Year of the Monkey, buy a palm tree);
- a painting (if the director loves art).
- Business portrait photography, business portrait. (This would be an ideal gift for a man.)
If you want to give a gift personally, then a good leather-bound notebook, a book written by your boss’s favorite author, or a comic checkbook of wishes would be appropriate.
Gift for a male director for New Year 2017
The choice of a gift for a manager is influenced by personal relationships. If your boss is not very loyal to the team, then choosing a gift for him will be purely formal, without a soul. It’s another matter when the relationships in the team are quite warm, this is where it’s time to show creativity.
One of important conditions when choosing a gift for the boss, this is information about his interests outside the office walls. If he is interested in sports, then buying a subscription to gym. If he is a sports fan, then you can buy tickets to a match with his favorite team or order souvenirs with its symbols.
If you don't have information about the manager's interests, just watch him carefully. Is your boss always dressed stylishly? This means it’s important to him, give him a stylish tie, scarf or cufflinks as a gift.
Does the manager work a lot and often stay late in the office? This means electronic gadgets, an expensive organizer, and a gift pen in a case will come in handy.
In the case where the leader is a creative person, surprise him with a remade song or composition, the main thing actor which he would be.
Gift for a woman boss for New Year 2017
Of course, it is extremely difficult to please a woman with a gift, and if she is also your boss, it is doubly difficult. However, there is something that can soften her “firm” disposition:
Candy bouquet (nowadays these are not difficult to order, the main thing is to find out what the boss’s favorite chocolate is and find out if she is currently on a diet);
- cosmetics and perfumes (even the “iron lady” will not refuse such a gift);
- gift set of elite tea or coffee (depending on preferences);
- electronic gadgets.
If you and your boss are on the short side, give a ticket to the skating rink, thoughtfully including a set of a warm scarf and mittens.
When the budget allows, you can give the boss in a skirt a certificate to a SPA salon, jewelry or a trip to hot countries. The main thing is that such expensive gifts look appropriate.
The next year is 2016, the year of the Monkey - this is a restless, cheerful creature that seems to inspire creative, original gifts. So let your relationship with your superiors and team develop only in a positive way, and the Monkey will help you with this!

Regardless of your sympathy/antipathy for the boss, do not forget that she is not only a higher-ranking official, but also a woman. Therefore, when choosing, you need to proceed, first of all, from this, and, of course, from her taste preferences, hobbies and wishes (if any).
Below is a selection of the best gift ideas for your boss, depending on her taste preferences:
- If your boss likes to actively spend her leisure time and travels a lot around the world, you can give her an unusual gift in the form of a “clean” globe with only the contours of all the continents. And she will be able to fill it out at her own discretion, depending on what places on the globe she has visited.
- If your manager likes to try everything new and extreme, then you should think about purchasing a certificate for any extreme type of recreation. This could be a parachute jump or into a wind tunnel, diving or a training flight on an airplane, etc.
Advice. It is important to take into account the health status of the executive when choosing an extreme gift. After all, if it is not very good, then the gift will definitely be perceived in a negative way.
- If your boss is not averse to pampering in the Spa and loves salon treatments, don’t make a mistake - feel free to give a gift coupon for a visit to a beauty salon with a good reputation. Try to choose a set of procedures wisely. For example, anti-cellulite wrap is not the best option.
- If the manager is a lover of unusual things self made, be sure to give her a professionally made box, figurine, coffee table or expensive embroidery.
- For an intellectual boss, a gift in the form of a rare copy of a book by some classic or modern author can be a pleasant surprise. Or the publication of some scientific treatise, depending on where your leader’s interest is directed.
- But for an esthete manager, it will be extremely pleasant to receive a reproduction of a famous artist, or a rare publication with information about achievements in art, etc.
- If your manager is a kind of “pro” in the world modern technologies and gadgets - this is a sure sign that she will like the super-new model mobile phone, or a tablet or ultrabook/netbook (if you are able to “pull” this kind of gift).
If your boss does not fit into any of the above categories or you have not “seen out” her, then the gift should be neutral. For example, an unusual luxurious bouquet of flowers, arranged by a good florist, or an expensive lighter (if your boss smokes). A good option would be a set of office accessories, for example, a leather stand for a phone and a laptop, a fashionable touch mouse, etc. You can hit the mark by presenting your manager with a gift in the form of a certificate for the purchase of perfume in any well-known boutique, etc.
