Christmas time and the challenge of choosing gifts

New Delhi: Christmas is near. As soon as December arrives, preparations for the Secret Santa game begin in the office. When the name of a friend or colleague comes up, it is easy to choose a gift, but when the name of the boss comes up, the dilemma increases. The gift should be such that it is neither too personal nor ordinary.

A professional approach is most important when choosing a gift for the boss. It is better to choose a gift which is useful in everyday use and does not create any kind of misunderstanding. A wisely chosen gift can also make your image positive.

Safe and Smart Gift for Mail Boss

Office use items are best suited for a mail boss. A classic diary, premium pen, or desk organizer can be good choices. These are also attractive to look at and are not expensive. If budget is limited, coffee mugs or travel mugs are also perfect. These gifts are neither very personal nor strange.

Elegant choice for the female boss

It is better to choose elegant and soft gifts for the female boss. Scented candles, indoor plants or a notebook set with a subtle design make a good impression. It’s wise to avoid items like scarves or jewelry, so that the gift remains completely professional.

Unisex gift that fits both

If you’re confused about gender, unisex gifts are the safest option. Things like desk plants, Bluetooth speakers, coffee sample packs or office table clocks are considered suitable for both male and female bosses. These do not send any kind of wrong message.

Class should be seen in the budget also

Secret Santa doesn’t have to mean expensive gifts. Good options are available even between Rs 500 to Rs 1000. Pay some attention to packing, because good wrapping makes even an ordinary gift special. It’s also a good idea to add a small thank you note.

What things should you distance yourself from?

Avoid personal perfume, clothes, funny cards or very funny gifts for your boss. Such gifts can give the wrong message. Always choose a gift that reflects respect, professionalism, and a positive attitude.
