But remember: it is not accepted to present your boss with very expensive gifts because:
- it can be considered as a bribe
- it makes your boss feel obliged
- it testifies about your illiteracy in the matter of business etiquette.
A watchA watch is undoubtedly the best option of a Christmas gift for your boss - a watch of the world known watch brand, such as for instance Patek Philippe , Breguet, Vacheron Constantin, Audemars, Piguet Blancpain, Franck Muller etc.
According to the etiquette rules, a boss should have at least several prestigious watches for all of life emergencies.
Usually a man-boss earns well enough, has a good car and especially likes watches. That is why a timepiece will certainly fit the bill.
And of course if your boss is a woman, she will be happy to get a high quality watch as a Christmas gift as well.
Alcoholic drinks
First of all you should keep in mind that such gifts are presented only for bosses-men.
If you are going to present your boss with alcoholic drinks as a Christmas gift, you must remember that they have to be of the highest quality: collection wines, expensive liqueurs, cognacs, whiskeys. Such a gift has to be bought in a specialized shop.
But there is a nuance here: your boss can be an abstainer, a member of an anonymous alcoholic club, Moslem etc. Keep all these things in mind when making a decision to choose such a gift for him.
An exception can be made if you know your boss's preferences and is certain that he will like your gift.
A book
If your boss likes reading, one variant of a Christmas gift for him/her can be a book.
You can present it as an addition or as an independent gift. Choose a book about hunting, fishing, or with famous painters' reproductions - depending on the hobby your boss-man is interested in. If it is a woman - choose a book about flowers cultivation, about cuisine preferences from around the world etc.
An official business gift
You can make an official Christmas gift to your boss. It should remind about your collaboration, accentuate your business relationship, and not look too bright in his interior - in majority of cases, bosses like severe style of their studies.
You can also choose a high quality leather folder or wallet, a good calculator, an original cardholder, a good pen of the world known brand, an electronic diary, etc.
A gift basket
A great option is to present your boss with a gift basket. It can be a set of coffee beans or teas, different spices and food from around the world etc.
Also it is possible to fill the basket with not very expensive stuff such as CDs with his/her favorite music, several books on the subjects he/she likes, several magazines about things he/she is interested in or a magazine subscription etc.
Just use your imagination and think whether everything you choose will be of his/her likes.
