What to give your boss for the New Year?
In our life there are people who are not our relatives, but well-being, good mood and other joys of life depend on them. You need to be able to give gifts to bosses on various occasions. It is necessary to consider in more detail what to give the boss for the New Year, what original gifts can be presented to the male director from the team, as well as symbolic New Year's gifts to the head.
Original gifts
It is recommended to choose a gift for an expensive CEO with a fair amount of discretion. It is important in this matter to maintain a sense of tact and, at the same time, official subordination.
A gift should evoke positive emotions - joy, pleasant surprise, maybe even admiration, but not anger, annoyance and irritation.
If you give your boss for the New Year, for example, a funeral wreath decorated with festive ribbons, you can instantly lose your job, be left without a livelihood. When choosing a gift for the boss, regardless of gender, it is recommended to pay attention to the following criteria:
- age;
- hobby;
- addictions or "human weaknesses";
- temperament and sense of humor.
If such information is lacking, then it is better to donate something neutral, related to work, for example, a Parker pen or a good portfolio made of the skin of an Indonesian lizard. The following can be versatile and inexpensive gifts:
- painting by Aivazovsky (copy);
- an original table lamp that no one else has;
- carpet with a picture of the northern lights.
The creative director of an advertising agency would be better off with something unusual, such as a free ticket (for two) for ten bungee jumps in the park. Jumping with his beloved woman from 50 meters upside down, the director can shake up a lot and strengthen family ties. It is possible that his wife will leave him filled with negative emotions. Then there may be problems for the one who presented such an unusual gift.
Gifts that evoke the following emotions should be strictly prohibited:
- sarcastic smile;
- feeling ambiguous or embarrassed;
- violation of command and etiquette.
You cannot give a boss tampons from a "good French company", and a male head of a school cannot give an innovative model of a doll "Marta" from a sex shop. Such "jokes" end up in the queue at the labor exchange.
Choosing a gift can be a deadly career trick for a young employee.

- a stack of favorite magazines;
