What to give the CEO. How to please a boss man for his birthday: what can you give

To choose a gift for a chef who has everything, fantasy, extraordinary thinking will help. Such people will be happy with impressions, exclusive things. When in the office, pay attention to the situation (it will tell you about the preferences of its owner). And keep it up.

Unusual gifts

You need to give the boss something that he does not have. Things should be individual, better - made to order. A wealthy person appreciates such items.

Scratch map of the world. This is an erasable travel map. Already conquered places can be erased with any sharp object. The gift will be pleasant to the head-traveler. If the chef likes to discover new countries, share his impressions with friends and colleagues, then he will like the scratch card.
Certificate for the creation of a personal perfume. Suitable for a sophisticated, stylish person. Both the female boss and the male boss. A gift-certificate entitles you to visit a perfumery workshop, to participate together with a perfumer in creating your own fragrance. At the end of the process, the birthday boy is given a bottle of exclusive eau de toilette.
Wall clock with photos- Evidence of career progression. Instead of numbers - a photo where the boss is a child, a university student, an ordinary employee, etc. Visual material can be asked from the family, close friends of the chef, or taken from social networks.
Candy Runework. Will appeal to the chief-sweet tooth. On the sweets themselves - nominal inscriptions. On the wrapper - congratulations in verse. Plus exclusive packaging with a photo of the hero of the occasion.
Cake—boat (boxing glove, soccer ball, etc.). The specific image depends on the hobbies of the birthday man. The boss, who has everything, will like such attention from colleagues: after all, they know, remember about his hobby.
gift coin. It is made of precious metals (silver, gold, platinum). Can be inlaid with expensive stones. On the surface - a unique pattern.
3D copy of a person. In a solemn atmosphere, the chief is presented with a gift certificate for making a copy of it. He goes through a 3D scan and in 2-3 days a figurine is obtained that accurately depicts him.
Stuffed animal made to order. The head of a bison, an elk, a figure of a bear. Very rich people have country cottages where such a gift can find a worthy place. The chief, an ardent defender of nature and all living things, not a hunter (albeit in his soul), should not be presented with a scarecrow.
sand painting. This is not only a beautiful piece of furniture. It is also a thing for relaxation.
desktop waterfall. The boss is a good person. But his work is nervous, so he often breaks down, grabs his heart, pills. Bubbling water on the desk will calm the boss.
Intelligent puzzle constructors. Help the boss to move away from everyday tasks. Like a person with a well-developed logical thinking.
Table figurine. Thematic related to the activities of the company. National, corresponding to the hobbies of the head of a particular country, culture. Just a name cup with a eulogy.
Cube with photographs of great architectural structures. Made of glass or wood to order. You can give this to the chief architect, builder.
Patriotic jacket, fan costume. With images of the flag of the Russian Federation, the emblem of your favorite sports club.
Selfie toaster. Kitchen appliances that imprint the image of a person on toast. You should look for such a gift in foreign online stores.
Magic ball of predictions. A comic souvenir that suggests answers to questions.
gift book. The boss, who has everything, will appreciate the original execution of the gift, the quality of the binding.
Custom made photo album. For example, in the scrapbooking technique. This is a unique thing, where each photo is framed separately.
Tea set with elite teas. A real gourmet will love it.
Indoor plant—symbol. The language of flowers is known to many people. If the chef does not know the meaning of a particular plant, you can say this in a congratulatory speech.
Ring with the image of the company's office. Decoration is made to order. The image is an inlay, a picture in a glass stone, a convex figure.
Antistress toy. There are mnushki, pillows, just soft toys with funny faces that lift your spirits. That is, colleagues give the boss emotions and attention. Perhaps a person who has everything needs the manifestation of simple human feelings.
Slippers. The chef hardly expects such a gift. But if the boss is an older person who spends a lot of time on his feet, then he will appreciate it. True, slippers should be exclusive, made to order. Some Siberian craftsman, for example, from bear hair.
Medal. Commemorative, nominal.
Set for writing instruments. The gift will be remembered by the chef if it has an original form, unusual execution.
Warm Mug. Often the boss does not have enough time to drink the coffee or tea brought in on time. And in such dishes, the drink does not cool for a long time.

Gifts-impressions

Office robbery. Hire actors who will act out the robbery. Then the special forces break in. The chief enters with a cake and says a congratulatory speech. By the same principle, you can organize the arrival of a tax, a raider attack, a prosecutor's check ...
Certificate for participation in the intellectual game. A person with considerable mental abilities will like it.
Ostrich ride. The chief probably rode horses more than once. And on huge birds...
Airplane flight. Or rather, a certificate. The chief will not only ride on an airplane, but will also be given a little control.

People who have everything love experiences and exclusives. This is what you give.

If you are a working person, then you most likely have a boss. Collectives are different, and not only in numbers, but also in relationships. Somewhere a great distance is kept with the authorities, and somewhere all the employees, not excluding the leaders, communicate with each other on "you". In such organizations, relationships will be more frank, so the boss can somehow say something about what he would like to be presented with. If the leader keeps his distance, and often exalts himself, then it will not always be possible to find out information about the desired gift from his entourage. Therefore, such bosses are given some generally accepted gifts that simply cannot be cheap. At the same time, a gift that is too expensive will puzzle the boss: are the subordinates sucking up to him, moreover, the whole department at once? By the way, such suspicion of the leader is one of the reasons to present a collective surprise.

The worst thing is when the boss is despotic by nature, likes to keep everyone in his fist, and his subordinates do not scatter from him for only two reasons:

love the work they do;
do not want to break off relations with a good team.

Nevertheless, if a significant date comes, then the unloved boss still needs to present some kind of present for his birthday. Of course, the leader will soften on this day. And why would he spoil his own mood and roll a thrashing to his subordinates? You can also spend time much more pleasantly, listen to praises from contractors, celebrate the event in the team, and then go to a restaurant for a banquet, where mostly “necessary people” will be invited.

Statistically, we have more male bosses. It would be easier with women - to give flowers and that's it! But a man is given flowers in rare cases. It is customary to present bouquets to artists after a performance, but not to directors.

Sweets are also given to men not so often. To please with such a gift, you need to be sure that your boss is sweet. If a sweet gift is presented, then it will rather not be a box of chocolates with painted flowers, but a large printed gingerbread of a symbolic form. For example, the director of a construction company can order a gingerbread in the form of a large key or a house, and the director of an educational institution - a gingerbread bell. Confectionery products with the logo of companies are in demand, because they can be easily made to order. The head of a machine-building corporation can be presented with a gingerbread-gear. For military commanders, gingerbread is made according to the types of troops: in the form of tanks, parachutes, ships, aircraft, etc.

Male executives are also presented with elaborate writing sets, decorative bars, for example, in the form of a globe. For the anniversary, the team can present a diploma, which will also decorate the interior of the director's office. You can continue the interior theme with the help of wall or table clocks, paintings, commemorative cups or sets with a samovar. The director often has to treat his guests with tea or coffee, so such gifts would be appropriate. A coffee maker would also come in handy. Where to use it - at home or at work - the boss will decide for himself.

How to choose a birthday present for your boss

When we understand what exactly can be presented, we need to know what budget we need to meet. Of course, you can collect fabulous money from all employees, but is it worth it? A present for a manager should not give away luxury and excess, especially if it is an interior item for an office. A pompous thing to the leader is useless.

It is worth talking in more detail about what gifts you should not give at all.

According to the traditions that have developed in society, it is not customary for superiors to give:

piercing and cutting objects;
religious attributes;
pets, not excluding exotic animals;
clothing and footwear;
perfumery, including the most expensive;
jewelry rings, chains, bracelets, etc.

An obese leader should not be presented with simulators, and a balding one should not be given hair restoration products. Even a certificate for a fashionable hair transplant clinic should be better presented by closer people than by employees. This is a very personal gift, good, expensive and timely, but it is in no way suitable for a business relationship.

What is better to give the leader a birthday from the team

A collective gift can be expensive, because all subordinates collect money for its purchase, or even an accountant issues this amount from the cash register. The budget of the enterprise may include a certain reserve for gifts to employees from the company. And the director is exactly the same employee as the rest. The main thing is that this gift can be carried out in accounting so that the tax authorities are not interested in it. So if you want to present something really very expensive - a washing machine or dishwasher, a golf car, a refrigerator, or just an impressive amount of money in an envelope - it is better to think over this gift from the very beginning.

If the relationship between the leader and subordinates is trusting, then the boss himself can order such an expensive gift for himself. After all, no matter how wealthy a person is, and no matter how successful his company is, there will always be things that he constantly puts off buying for later. And some of them can be a wonderful gift from the team.

Sometimes in small companies they don’t chip in for gifts for the boss, but everyone gives something himself. This is where you have to break your head. It is better to immediately agree with colleagues who will give what, so that it does not turn out that everyone will simultaneously give coffee makers or samovars to the chef.

If you decide to give something on a tea and coffee theme, then you can agree among yourself and make a list of who buys what:

samovar or kettle;
coffee maker;
service;
tray;
handmade sugar bowl;
a teapot, if one is not included in the service, etc.

Then the gift will turn out to be a kind of collective one, but at the same time there is an indisputable plus for subordinates: everyone can spend according to the level of their salary. For example, a cleaner gets less than a sales manager, and it makes sense that she would buy a tray and he would buy a coffee maker.

In other cases, each of the colleagues chooses what to buy:

an expensive tie clip or cufflinks (such a gift is good from a close person, as he knows the taste of the boss);
purse;
a pen from one of the elite manufacturers;
Wrist Watch;
watch stand with winding (Only if the director has a mechanical watch!) etc.

Alas, mechanical watches today are much easier to confuse with quartz ones. These watches also have hands, but they are battery operated, so they do not need a winding. Previously, they could be easily identified by the jumping second hand, but today there are brands of quartz watches where the seconds indicator moves smoothly. So a winding box and a watch can be donated by two different employees at the same time - of course, by prior arrangement.

If you are in a close friendship (the boss is a close friend, you are relatives or co-owners)

When the leader is also your close friend, it is much easier to choose a present. The search range is much expanding, and the only question is in which company this present will be presented. At an official banquet, you should not present too personal gifts in front of everyone. If this is the gift you have chosen, then give it before the birthday celebration, while you are alone with your friend. When the chef is your relative, the gift can be presented in the family circle, which also allows you to choose anything. But if you own a business together, then public congratulations will not work.

Then there are two options:

to choose gifts as formal as those of others;
give a speech, present a diploma or other commemorative sign dedicated to the professional activities of the birthday person, and present the gift itself separately.

If the gift is a banal pleasantness

There are situations when a gift is not presented from the whole team, and employees themselves are forced to choose what to give. The leader can be given a strict bouquet of flowers. Regardless of the gender of the boss, a well-decorated cake is a good gift. Such gifts will please the person, at least it will be clear that the director is treated well. This will not arouse any suspicions among other employees, and you will not be considered a toady. But if you suddenly decided to give something very expensive or rare, then colleagues may think that you want to stand out from the crowd and draw attention to yourself in order to deserve a promotion. It is clear that the team will look askance at you later.

If the gift is directly related to the work (a gift in the form of a successfully signed deal, won a tender, etc.)

Such a gift to the boss can be received just not from subordinates, but from contractors. Of course, if we are talking about a won tender, then most likely the issue has already been resolved in favor of the company of the hero of the day, and all that remains is to present all this as if it were a gift.

But what you can think about in this case is that the date of signing an important agreement falls precisely on the upcoming birthday of the head of the company.

What to give the CEO for his birthday

The CEO may well qualify for a good corporate gift. These gifts have been discussed above. The more solid the company, the more expensive the present will be. Personal gifts to the CEO are presented by his deputies, top managers, heads of departments. It hardly makes sense to collect money from the whole world for a present to the first person of a huge company. But you can prepare some congratulations from the departments.

How to choose a gift that matches this position

Here, too, it is necessary to strike a balance between luxury and rigor. Excessive pomposity is useless. Figurines, writing instruments, computer and business accessories - this is a rough list of gift search destinations.

How to congratulate officially, beautifully and appropriately

You can make an appointment with the secretary in advance by different departments. Only the manager of the department is recorded, but the whole department comes to congratulate him.

10 original birthday gift ideas for your boss

Whatever the employees pamper their bosses with! But not everyone has the courage to use the chef's photo to create an exclusive gift.

Meanwhile, today you can order in the workshop:

a label for elite alcohol with a portrait of the boss, which is then glued to the bottle;
flag or pennant with the company's portrait and logo;
the portrait itself, commissioned from the photograph of the chief by the artist;
a tea set, on each of the items of which there will be a photo of the boss;
wall clock with a portrait;
glasses for wine, cognac or champagne, also decorated with the "face" of the leading person;
a vase with the image of the chef;
a caricature figurine in the form of a barge hauler carrying a large company logo;
a real newspaper, ordered from a printing house, but compiled by employees (articles are written by subordinates who have a craving for the epistolary genre, photographs are selected from corporate ones).

If the boss is a woman, then this does not mean at all that she does not need beautiful writing instruments, paintings, figurines, etc. in her office. You just need to choose all this with an eye on the fair sex of the leader. Things have the right to be elegant, sometimes even pretentious, which would be impossible if the director were a man. For example, if, nevertheless, the team decides to present expensive alcohol, then the lady can be handed champagne or vermouth, elite wine. Something strong would be more suitable for a man: cognac, whiskey.

What to choose when the boss is a woman

Of course, it is not uncommon for the fair sex to become directors in some industries, and, by the way, it is somewhat easier for them to pick up a gift. For example, it can be jewelry designed, if not for a business woman personally, then at least for her office. An impressive bouquet of flowers, along with sweets and champagne, will also delight the headmistress.

How to surprise and please - a gift from colleagues

The boss can be pleased not only with a material gift, like a solid chair with a massage function, but also with a certificate. Of course, it would be indecent for the headmistress to give an invitation to free spa treatments, but sending her to a gourmet dinner in a high-class restaurant is quite acceptable, although unexpected.

A non-trivial gift to the chef from the team can be presented on various occasions. Such holidays can be a variety of dates:

Anniversaries, birthdays.
New Year and Christmas.
Establishment of a firm/company, professional.
February 23.
Other reasons.

Never forget that being a boss is never easy. He constantly bears a high responsibility for his subordinates, often having to stay on weekends to personally control the process. Therefore, the team always tries to find the most useful, original gift for the chef to thank for the care.

What to consider when looking for a presentation to the head:

personal interests.
Hobbies, hobbies.
Lifestyle, style.
Preferences.
Habits.

The boss is a person who has everything, they receive a decent salary, they belong to the wealthy stratum of society. Naturally, you have to think a lot, apply the common efforts of the team in order to really surprise the leader. You can present cool gifts to your boss to cheer him up a little or accessories to create a comfortable working environment.

A gift chosen correctly, with a piece of soul invested, will surely please the boss, and the team will put it in a positive light.

Choosing a gift is an exciting and responsible business, if you approach it with humor and common sense. A gift for a boss is a task of increased complexity: a good choice will not only raise your self-esteem, but also your reputation in the team. It can also affect your career. Motivation and goal were outlined, it remains to develop a strategy. Let's designate the selection criteria.

Maximize the object of donation from having a hobby to a sense of humor. It is possible to connect to the question of colleagues who have been working with him for a long time, who have studied all his preferences.
Evaluate your relationship with the boss: can you call them friendly or strictly businesslike? Do you know his attitude towards you?
Observe the golden mean: an expensive gift will be appreciated as clear sycophancy (both by the boss and colleagues). By the way, in the USA a gift that is more expensive than $ 20 is regarded as a bribe (in our country, such restrictions will be perceived exactly the opposite.)
Sex, of course, will also be taken into account, because the gift should not only be without unnecessary familiarity, but, most importantly, appropriate.

hobby gift

What to give your boss for his birthday? Of course, you don't have to give anything. It is also very original - to pretend that he forgot, because he already has everything. Unless just to slightly upset and enhance the surprise effect at the end of the day. Otherwise, the boss will certainly not forget about it.

A gift to a chef can be personal or collective. Personal - if you are on friendly terms with your boss and are probably familiar with his hobbies. Hobbies are a great helper in choosing a gift:

for an inveterate collector, another worthy exhibit in his collection will be an ideal present (for example, the Sochi-14 commemorative coin);
for a car enthusiast - a certificate for extreme driving lessons, an expensive radio-controlled model of his brand or new personal belongings for the interior of his car;
the manager's time for rest is always insufficient, so a ticket to a performance or football (you can also have an autographed ball) will be a pleasant surprise. Check with the secretary only for the time in his work schedule.

Chef's buddy - faster? a special case, in the rest you need to think about subordination, because any of your present speaks about your attitude towards your boss.

With humor

A gift with humor seems to be a non-binding win-win option. And it will cheer you up for the holiday. The main thing is that the boss's sense of humor coincides with yours. And the opportunities for this in cool gift shops - eyes run wide:

a briefcase full of currency with a profile picture of the boss instead of the president;

a nominal medal of the type "To the coolest boss", a souvenir with gilding "Big Shot", a figurine in the spirit of "under the Oscar";

an artistic portrait of your boss in an unusual design ("like Napoleon or Ivan the Terrible");

Only an easy and confident boss can appreciate such a gift.

What gift will not delight any chef and? An envelope with money is inappropriate here, and clothes, hygiene products, household appliances, perfumes are personal, intimate.

Souvenirs for work

What to give the boss on his birthday from the team? A proven option is business gifts. What boss does not care about the solid appearance of his office? Therefore, anything that will add points to him in this topic will be appropriate:

expensive author's service for receiving important guests (can be ordered with company logos);
a set of glasses and decanters for the same purpose, complemented by a bottle of his favorite brandy. It can be named in honor of the birthday person (at factories - manufacturers provide such a service);
a globe-bar or a mini-safe in the form of a book will find its place in any office;
a flash drive with a jewelery finish, a wireless mouse of a designer execution or other computer novelties.

If you opted for traditional stationery, then make an unusual design, a gift inscription from the engraver.

Gift - relaxation

Making a relaxation corner in the boss’s office is a great idea and an opportunity to save the nerves and performance of not only the boss.

according to the laws of feng shui, an aquarium or fountain must certainly be in the place where people think about money, about profit;
a special lamp for relaxation or the starry sky;
a luxurious orchid, homemade bamboo or a fruiting tangerine tree;
a large money tree decorated with coins of different countries;
a set of cigars, a gift hookah or a jewelry lighter with an aphorism engraving;
a photo collage of employees headed by the general director helps to strengthen the corporate spirit;
mini-roulette "Make a decision", divided into "now - later - yes - soon - no" - a toy-entertainment at the end of the working day.

Impression

Is your boss young, energetic and extreme? Adrenaline on a festive day will be added to him by a gift - an impression. But only if you know your leader well.

skydiving or rope jumping;
flights by plane, helicopter, paragliding (they even give a steer!);
riding a buggy or high-speed motorcycle;
a certificate for a spa salon (preferably with an open date) - a quieter option;
a map-plan of conquering the world with a protective layer, which is removed from the fragment that the conqueror has already visited or a guide to the countries of the world.

wall or hourglass design work;
gold tie clip;
set of handmade chess pieces.

jewelry box;

The real scenario of one such anniversary

In the morning, at the entrance, the first lady of the company is waiting for a car of her favorite brand.
At work, in the reception, her favorite music sounds.
The path from the entrance to the office is strewn with flower petals.
The air in the office is scented with her favorite scents.
The office is festively decorated with balloons.
The native team lined up and greets the birthday girl with their favorite flowers and congratulations.
The gift is presented with an artistic portrait of a business woman surrounded by colleagues.
The festive table is set taking into account the taste preferences of the hero of the day.

In the design of the table there are three heart-gifts: an icy crystal one symbolizes the clarity of mind, the mind and will of the leader, a heart of scarlet roses - love, respect, devotion to the team, a heart-shaped cake - the prosperity of the company under such talented leadership and sweetly - the happy personal life of the heroine celebrations.

The test for loyalty and good taste is over. The boss is happy with the gift, and you are happy with the kind attitude towards you, forgotten mistakes, forgiven delays and additional bonuses. An excellent solution would be to organize a corporate party with colleagues on the occasion of such an important holiday, to arrange with congratulations and original congratulations.

Choosing a gift for a loved one is not easy. When the question arises of what gift to give to the director for his birthday from the team, doubts increase many times over. Well, if you need to choose a gift for the head of the department or the head of the group, with whom you have to communicate closely. But what to give to the general director of the company for DR? How can you make your boss happy? It would seem that he already has everything.

A cool present can not always save the situation, the authorities may not appreciate the creative approach. Buying an expensive gift for a leader is only for an anniversary, buying something expensive for an ordinary holiday is violating the business style of relationships in a team. Moreover, not every company can boast of high incomes of its employees, allowing them to shell out a large amount for a gift to their boss. What kind of birthday present for the boss from the team will look worthy?

The tradition of giving gifts goes back to pagan times and is associated with the religious offering of gifts.

Subsequently, gifts to people of their circle began to mean a demonstration of a good attitude, a desire to do something pleasant. In modern relations, giving aims to give pleasure, to convey a useful thing that a person needs or wants to receive. The same rule should be followed when discussing the question of what to give the boss for his birthday.

The gift does not always have a positive content. A classic example is the Trojan horse. The expression "Fear the Danes who bring gifts" has not been lost for centuries, it is currently used. Many received gifts “with meaning”, and this “meaning” did not evoke positive emotions. However, such offerings speak primarily of the moral qualities of the donor. When deciding what to give the director for his birthday, you should not strive for hints or allow ambiguity.

birthday gifts

Hardly anyone has scientifically systematized birthday gifts for the boss by type. Nevertheless, in order to answer the question of what to give the manager for his birthday, let's try to highlight the main groups of gifts.

cool gifts

If everything is in order with humor, then it will not be difficult to decide what to give to the chef. In specialized stores, you can choose a cool gift of various directions and prices. In any case, it should be remembered that a self-respecting organization will not purchase something vulgar or base for the boss.

Cool gifts include souvenirs with funny inscriptions, matching paintings and office accessories.

When choosing a funny gift for the director, the following circumstances must be considered:

director's hobby;
features of the activities of the company headed by the director;
age, temperament;
features of relationships in the team.

As a rule, managers are happy to keep in their offices in prominent places various slingshots for “shooting subordinates”, squeaking hammers, etc.

business gifts

Business gifts to the head - the most neutral and versatile option.

These gifts include:

Desktop stationery sets;
Elite writing accessories;
Various accessories for the office and desktop;
Paintings;
You can purchase a gift set for alcoholic beverages, which will not be superfluous for the business environment of the office;
Some managers display hookahs in a conspicuous place, but this already depends on the personality of the director and the nature of the company's activities;
Business gifts can be VIP-class. For example, we can cite - a grandfather clock, stylized as an old one;
Wooden keyboard and monitor.

Do not get carried away and give items made of precious metals or inlaid with stones. Gifts of this kind are made by close people, and from the side of the work team they will look inappropriate. On behalf of employees, jewelry can be presented for some significant anniversaries or when the director retires.

At the same time, business gifts from the team are not the best option to please the boss. As a rule, the head himself creates a comfortable atmosphere for himself in the workplace. When choosing a business present, you need to decide how useful and interesting it will be for the birthday person.

Original gifts

An unusual gift will not only delight, but also surprise. An original gift may consist in organizing an event taking into account the interests of the leader (parachute jump, holiday trip to nature) or be of a material nature. Original presentations may include elements of fun. The main thing is that it should be unexpected, not fitting into the standard set.

Unusual gifts should take into account the personality of the donee and his hobbies.

It is foolish to give, for example, a fishing suit to a hunter or a rubber boat to a lover of a relaxing holiday. It will be unpleasant for both the director and the employees if a gift that is expensive in terms of money remains unclaimed and lies packed in the manager’s office or rest room. Just as in the case of cool presentations, you should not get carried away and reach in originality to the point of absurdity and vulgarity.

So, it’s worth trying to formulate what you can give your boss. With a man, things are relatively simple. What to give the boss for her birthday is a more complex and delicate issue. Gifts for the boss must be chosen taking into account the fact that she is first and foremost a woman, no matter how "iron lady" she may seem.

All of the above, for the most part, applies to gifts, both to the male boss and to the female boss. The main thing is that congratulations are sincere. In any team there are active employees who will gladly take care of all organizational concerns. An employee's contribution should not be onerous, and the difference in income of employees must be taken into account. It would be more correct if the heads of structural divisions contribute a large amount. Listed below, what to give the boss for his birthday, regardless of whether he is a man or a woman:

stationery;
business accessories;
cabinet accessories;
things related to personal hobbies;
paintings, books, objects of art (with the exception of antiques, expensive copies);
adventure gifts, events (taking into account the personality and interests of the donee);
flowers;
gift sets of tea, coffee.

For a male boss, the following presents would be appropriate:

elite alcohol;
tobacco, cigars, smoking accessories (for smokers);
gifts with jokes;
items and things related to hunting and fishing, outdoor activities (taking into account the personality and interests of the donee);
sets for alcoholic drinks.

Women will love:

coffee and tea sets;
original gifts made by hand (tapestry, blankets, embroidered paintings, etc.);
products from the skin of exotic animals;
unusual boxes, books in original bindings, other non-standard items;
expensive wines.

No matter how trivial it may sound, a sincere and benevolent gift will always be met with pleasure. Presentation of a gift must be carried out in compliance with corporate etiquette.

Before the manager arrives at work, it is advisable to decorate the office and the reception area with balloons and congratulatory posters. It will be nice if the team in full force meets the leader in front of his office in the morning.

There are certain restrictions on gifts to the leader. We must not forget that in the labor collective relations are built on the basis of subordination. Familiarity, frivolity, demonstration of some special personal relationship with the leader are unacceptable. You can’t make gifts with hidden hints, give things with a double meaning, especially those related to external data, physical condition.

Underwear;
cosmetics;
personal hygiene products;
jewelry, antiques, other expensive items;
kitchen sets for women, tool sets for men;
household appliances;
subscriptions to fitness clubs, gyms;
tickets for specific events (the leader may be busy at this time).

Exceptions are cases when the boss himself asked to give him one of the above.

Gift or bribe?

In conclusion, it is necessary to talk about some legal aspects related to donation.

In accordance with paragraphs. 3 p. 1 art. 575 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, gifts, with the exception of ordinary gifts, the value of which does not exceed three thousand rubles, are not allowed to persons holding public positions in the Russian Federation, public positions in constituent entities of the Russian Federation, municipal positions, civil servants, municipal employees, employees of the Bank of Russia in connection with their official position or in connection with the performance of their official duties.

In the case of receiving such gifts or when the value of the donated property is unknown, the official is obliged to transfer the received property into state or municipal ownership. This restriction was introduced as part of the fight against corruption and is due to the special status of state and municipal employees. Restrictions on gifts may also be established outside the state (municipal) sector. Prohibitions are contained in the corporate codes of many large companies and holdings.
