Baby Shower Ideas for Your Boss

Courtesy

Having a truly great boss can be—let's be honest—hard to come by. Horrible bosses are definitely a thing, so when you have one who's actually kind of amazing, you can't help but want to show how much you appreciate them. The right holiday gift for your boss will let them know that their guidance (not to mention those last-minute pep talks) don't go unnoticed.

Of course, if you're not super close with your boss, it might be tough to figure out where to start. You don't want to go too casual, but you also don't want to overdo it with anything extravagant. Finding that middle ground is tricky! Although, if you two are basically BFFs, you definitely want to go all-out with a gift that's thoughtful and heartfelt. No matter your boss-employee situation, we've got good news: In case you're stressing about what present to give 'em, we've rounded up plenty of gift ideas for the holiday season. From fancy cheese boards and chic home office decor to dainty everyday jewelry, there's a lil something for every type of boss.

And sure, many of us are still working from home. Which means the annual in-person office holiday party may or may not be happening—who even knows anymore. But that doesn't mean you can't treat them with something special, even when your entire team is still working remotely. You can ship any of these directly to them to make sure that they receive it. And remember, if you're still coming up blank with gift ideas for your boss, we will never judge you for going the gift card route. Considering this year's shipping delays, it might be a great last-minute option.

Here, 26 gifts for your boss that are functional, funny, stylish, and everything in between. Maybe, just maybe, whatever you choose will secure your nomination for employee of the month. (JK, but also not really?)

1

if they're into fancy décor

Marble Moon Coasters

As someone who can't stand ring marks on furniture, trust me: There's no such thing as too many coasters! These marbled coasters are oh-so-chic with or without a drink on top.

2

if charcuterie is their middle name

Unique Bamboo Cheese Board

They'll definitely appreciate this classic cheese board set, featuring side trays for crackers and nuts. It's the ultimate fancy appetizer setup that will come in handy for years.

if they're the note-taker

Weekly Color Block Notepad

Because to-do lists are more manageable when they're color-coded. It's just science.

if they're serious meal preppers

Lunch Box With Utensils

Buh-bye, boring plastic containers. Meal prepping lunch every day might actually be — dare we say it —fun if you have this box to pack it in.

5

if they like personal touches

Herringbone Throw Blanket

You can never have enough blankets, especially in the wintertime. A cozy throw monogrammed with their initials is a thoughtful gift they'll use year-round.

6

if they always have fresh flowers

The Tangelo

Everyone loves fresh flowers! Floral arrangements add life to any desk area, and deep-red blooms with pops of orange and yellow are the perfect thoughtful gift.

7

if they're into vases

Optic Color Glass Vase

And they'll need a vase for that bouquet, right? So get 'em a chic tinted one with a gold-accented rim.

8

if they need a refresh

Colorful Cool Mini Humidifier

They'll feel so much more refreshed with a mini humidifier by their desk area. Plus, it just looks so fancy.

9

if they're *really* into the holidays

Classic Shimmer Star Small Ornament

If they always talk about how much they love the holiday season, a sparkling, star-shaped crystal ornament will be a great addition to their tree or mantle.

10

if they're organization pros

Office Desk Accessory Desk Organizers

An interlocking desk organizer to fit their papers, pens, pencils, clips, and everything else is a stylish-yet-practical gift for a boss who's meticulous about their desk space.

11

if they're not-so-serious

I'm Kind of A Big Deal Desk Plate

A funny plaque will lighten the mood in their office and make them chuckle when they open your gift. And hey, they reallyare a big deal!

if they're obsessed with their plant babies

Giraffe Savannah Garden Pot

Got a boss with a green thumb? Upgrade their plant shelf with this adorable giraffe-shaped pot that's an instant conversation starter.

13

if they like their coffee

Traveler Leak-Proof Insulated Travel Mug

A leak-proof insulated mug is just the thing for their hot (or iced) coffee so it stays the same temp all day long. The convenient ring also makes it easy to hold wherever they're going!

14

if they love music

Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker

A tiny portable speaker with quality sound is handy for bike rides, hikes, and impromptu beach days. We love that it can be clipped onto a backpack or tote for peak functionality.

if they need to unwind

Ganni Park Life Scented Candle

A soothing candle that smells like a crisp fall day — with notes of fig, sage, sandalwood, and more — will make any super-stressed boss feel instantly relaxed.

Mosaic Desk Organizer

This stylish organizer fits their phone, tablet, jewelry, and other trinkets. It's an ideal, super handy addition to their desk or any room at home.

17

if they're not fussy

Essentials Skin Care Set

Sure, they've said over and over that they "don't want a gift," but who can deny the simple pleasures of some luxe skincare? It's inexpensive and low-key, but still super considerate.

18

if they're all about the comfy life

Unisex Tulia Sweatpant

A cozy, casual pair of sweats from this Black-owned athleisure brand is so soft and versatile, you know they'll wear itconstantly.

A gold and pearl necklace is simple yet striking. A thoughtful jewelry piece that's unique and goes with everything will make this gift their favorite yet.

if they appreciate a good cocktail

5-Piece Bar Tool Set

If they have a bar cart at home, a silver tool set is just the present to complete their cocktail crafting setup.

22

if they're the snack connoisseur

Popcorn Snack Medley

They'll get through that 3 p.m. wall with a bundle of nibbles, including butter-toffee pretzels, dark-chocolate-covered cherries, popcorn on the cob, and salted peanuts. Don't forget to order some for yourself ;)

23

if they need a last-minute touch-up

Go practical with a set that includes freshener, wrinkle releaser, and stain remover. It'll help prevent any potential outfit disasters — truly a lifesaver before any big Zoom meeting.

Instead of adding to their ever-increasing book collection, give them a pair of playful bookends to decorate their shelf (and to help keep all those titles from tipping over!).

Because really, are cookies ever a bad idea? These might be just the thing for your sweets-lovin' boss.
