Buying for Your Boss

DO consider a group gift.
One gift from a group of employees usually works well. If you do give a gift from the
group, each group member should contribute the same amount. But if everyone doesn't want
to chip in, giving individually is OK. A group card can be a nice gesture instead.
DON'T call attention to yourself.
If you are giving a gift on your own, avoid making a production of the gift-giving. This
includes giving more than you can afford, or giving the gift in front of others.
DON'T force your boss to use your gift.
Giving a gift that can be used at home is best. If you do, your boss won't feel compelled
to use or display it in the office. It also avoids putting your boss in the potentially
awkward situation of identifying the gift-giver.
