What to give the boss?

The reason for the gift sometimes influences the choice: whether it is a usual birthday or anniversary, promotion, leaving for another job or, in general, retirement, and maybe this is a wedding. The character of the boss is also not the last nuance: does he have a sense of humor, is he inclined to adventures.

The head of the legal department in his office will never be prevented by a good monograph or commentary on the law in a new edition, of course, according to its specialization.

Gifts of the first group will suit both the boss-man and the woman. However, they are hardly suitable for retirement when it is no longer useful. For the anniversary, the nature of such gifts is not personal enough, their significance is small. Such gifts are perfect new bosswho has not yet had time to join the team, when his interests are not yet known to his subordinates.

Financial burden is allowed due to the collective purchase of a gift. Individual gifts smack of promise and put is not in the best position of the boss. Individuality of the gift can be allowed as a souvenir from the trip, provided that it is not very expensive, and the relations in the team are warm and devoid of black gossip and envy.
