Deciding on the best gift for your boss can either be a walk in the park or a huge pain, depending on how well you know her. Not to mention, there’s no rulebook on how much to spend, or what’s deemed “office-appropriate.” But not to worry—even if you have just a general idea of your boss' taste, or at the bare minimum, a working relationship with her, it's hard to go wrong with one of the gift ideas on this list.
We’ve scoured the internet to find the best gifts for your boss come the holidays, from a neck massager to lavish hand cream (which would also make a great gift for your coworkers). As soon as your boss opens one of these gifts, you’re sure to stand out from the rest of the office. Did I hear someone say “Employee of the Year?”
Is your boss glued to her coffee mug? Now she doesn't have to sip on room-temperature coffee any more, thanks to you—and this warmer set! The sleek, modern mug comes in three colors and boasts a custom charger to heat up the liquid inside.
Does she carry her lunch to work every day in a plain old Tupperware container? This chic bag will change all that. With an insulated interior and vegan leather exterior, no one will be able to tell you're carrying last night's leftovers. Available in over 15 colors and the option to add a monogram, this makes for the perfect gift for your boss who loves to meal prep.
Since lighting candles is generally frowned upon in the office, gift her this luxe room spray to make her office smell amazing.
Now she'll never not have the chance to send you an on-the-go Slack message. Plus, these leather gloves are far more stylish than your typical touch screen options.
Journals are universally needed by everyone and this one feels extra luxe, making it the perfect gift. It features a customizable foil-stamped linen cover and lined pages in a variety of styles. Plus, it comes with a ballpoint pen. Your boss (or coworker) is going to want to pull this out during your next team meeting.
I can all but guarantee that this cashmere beanie will not leave your boss' head this winter.
If your boss travels a lot, gift her this amazing weighted eye mask. It instantly soothes in-flight headaches and will let your boss get some much-needed sleep.
Who doesn't love a blanket? It's especially hard not to love one covered in your initials and smiley faces. Choose from a ton of cute colors and prints and add your boss' initials, and you've got a personalized gift she'll keep around forever.
This rose gold band will instantly make her Apple Watch feel like a piece of jewelry on her wrist rather than a techy accessory.
Buying your boss jewelry doesn't need to be scary. This pair of chunky gold hoops are so classic, she'll want to wear them every single day.
You can’t really go wrong with a candle, especially one with a cheeky saying. Choose from one of three universal scents: Mango Guava (my personal favorite), Moroccan Amber, Spices and Evergreen, or Musky Amber and Rose. Then pick one of the brand’s fun phrases or customize with your own. And they make room sprays too, if that’s more your vibe.
We love an on-brand holiday gift. Sunday Riley's C.E.O. Glow contains Vitamin C and turmeric to decrease redness and instantly brighten skin. Your boss will be reminded of how much of a badass she is when she does her skincare routine after coming home from a long day.
Speaking of decor, Marcellas Reynolds' beautiful book celebrating iconic Black women who revolutionized fashion, including industry icons like Tyra Banks and Joan Smalls, is filled with gorgeous photos. After you're done perusing through the tome, it makes a great coffee table book.
There's a good chance your boss is on her phone for a good portion of the day, and all of those germs and screen time builds up. This small, but mighty device will charge your boss' phone and sanitizes it at the same time thanks to UV-led technology.
The holidays can be a stressful time so your boss may be in need of some TLC. There’s nothing like a mid-day neck massage to relieve some stress.
This desk-friendly cactus isn’t just cute decor. At the touch of a button, it becomes a handy humidifier, making your boss’ time in the office a bit more enjoyable, especially in the dryer winter months.
Whether your boss is a huge jet-setter or just needs a little extra neck support, this pillow will do it all. With its versatile shape, this pillow can provide all kinds of comfort whether it be a back pillow or headrest.
If the pandemic taught us anything, it's that we can never be too careful when it comes to germs. Your boss will surely appreciate this set of moisturizing hand sanitizers that smell amazing.
If your boss travels a lot for work, this handy gadget is the perfect gift. It connects your AirPods to the in-flight TVs so your boss will never have to use those uncomfy wired headphones again.
Not everyone is a coffee drinker, and that's ok! There are plenty of gifts for the tea lover, like this bundle. Filled with best-selling tea and a cute to-go tumbler, this set is a thoughtful gift for a tea-drinking boss.
Don't let your boss' hands suffer in the winter. This gift set includes hand creams in three different scents: Almond, Lavender, and Shea Butter. Her hands (and cuticles!) will thank you.
A uber-luxurious scarf isn't something people tend to buy for themselves, which makes it the perfect gift. This scarf is 100 percent cashmere, doubles as a wrap, and even hits on the hot pink trend.
Bosses tend to be extra busy, so why not help them keep track of meetings and events with a cute planner? You can even make it extra special by personalizing the cover.
What do you get your boss when you haven't got a clue what she likes? How about a gift that hits on three different interests? Firstly, this chic decor is a candle inspired by the iconic Le Labo Santal 33 perfume). Inside the wax you'll find a clear quartz crystal, perfect for your boss to use against negative vibes. Once the wax is gone, you can turn the label into a plant with some soil. It's a win-win-win!
