A luxurious gift that will win points with your boss
Has your boss just advanced in their career? Do you want to celebrate his birthday? Or give her some joy at a company party? You and your coworkers have taken up a collection for the boss’s gift, and now you’ve got a headache choosing something that will best express everyone’s well-wishes to the head of your team. What will they enjoy the most?
Choosing a gift for the boss may seem like a tricky business. First, you have to thoroughly consider what kind of relationship you have with your manager. This will help you avoid a faux pas that you could later regret. And because all bosses aren’t created equal, we’ve made your job easier here by suggesting several tips for each type.
A gift for a boss who has a sense of humor
Does Mr. Jokester lead the team at your workplace? There is an infinite array of gag items on the market. You could buy an apron, a mug, or a t-shirt with a funny saying on it. However, bear in mind that your leader may laugh when he opens the package, but after some time goes by these items will probably be gathering dust in a corner, and in the best-case scenario they’ll be forgotten. Wouldn’t it be more appropriate to give something of more lasting value? And keep in mind how thin the ice you’re walking on is – your gift should never offend the boss! Make it clear through your gift that you respect him or her.
A gift for a boss who enjoys the finer things
Is your supervisor fascinated by luxury objects? For example, you might give your boss a beautiful watch with their initials engraved on the reverse side. A luxurious set of pens, or cufflinks have also pleased quite a few picky managers. Also consider the possibility of buying gifts to be experienced, such as a ride in a luxury car or gift certificates to a well resort. However, keep in mind that such ostentatious gifts could just as well embarrass your boss.
A gift for the boss who’s a gourmet
Does your boss relish wonderful foods? A basket stuffed with various delicacies is a common gift offered to bosses, among other recipients. Or a voucher for a proper dinner out certainly pleases everyone. For example, you could get one for her favorite restaurants, or a ticket to a special tasting menu. But what if you’re not sure what kind of food they’re into? And isn’t a basket filled with cold cuts kind of a cliché?
A unique gift for bosses – choose something original!
How about an unusual solution in the form of luxury wine? You can’t go wrong with a gift like this! You’ll hit the right note with both the joker and the gourmet with a luxury vintage wine. If you’re celebrating the boss’s birthday, give them wine from the year they were born. A gift like this is a perfect choice especially if they’re celebrating round birthday. Are you organizing a farewell party in honor of their promotion? Choose the year when your boss entered the company! Is the company celebrating an important anniversary? Give a wine from the year when the company was founded. Give your fantasy free rein.
Luxurious vintage wines differ from ordinary ones in that aging causes them to develop tertiary aromas and tastes. Every vintage wine, therefore, is an absolute original. Carefully consider whether you’ll want red or white wine – white wine matures faster in its bottles.
Seeking a specific tip? The King of Wines, Barolo, is one of the most sought-after luxury wines.
If you’re inclining more toward a white, why not reach for the very symbol of luxury, an vintage bottle of the effervescent wine from France’s Champagne region?
Are you wondering how to package this wine to emphasize its exclusivity? Give your wine in an elegant wooden case. This will show your boss that you appreciate their refined taste and you know they’ll appreciate this gift of fine wine. To complete the package, add in a special opener for vintage wine. With its help, the recipient will be able to open even an older bottle like it’s a piece of cake without later having to taste pieces of crumbled cork in it.
