Cool Gifts for Bosses
Who doesn't want to make a good impression on the boss? After all, being on his or her good graces can make the difference between getting the promotion or getting the boot (hopefully you're aiming for the former!). From the first day on the job, to the holiday office party, we're always doing our best to impress the chief, and when it comes to finding the perfect gift for them, taking your time and putting in some effort can really make a big difference. Especially because not all bosses were created equal. Think you can get away with another executive pen set? Guess again. If you really want to make a good impression on your boss, you better do some research. Are they a golf pro? A wine lover? Outdoorsy? Skip the boring personalized stationery and check out these one-of-a-kind gift ideas for your one-of-a-kind boss!
Golf Lover
If your boss's idea of a fun weekend involves a day on the green followed by a toast at the nineteenth hole, then you'll definitely win extra points with this fun and unique poster. Personalized Golf Scene Wall Art, $80, available at Red Envelope.
Wine Lover
If there's one thing your boss loves more than his or her job, it's wine. You know because they won't stop talking about their latest wine country escape. So what better gift than the gift of wine? Wines of the World Super Flight, $80, available at TastingRoom.com.
Coffee Lover
There's nothing that can stop your boss from doing her job. That is, of course, unless the coffee runs out. Surprise them with their very own single serve coffee maker; they'll love not having to share with the rest of the office! Keurig® Elite 40 Gourmet Single Cup Brewing System, $172, available at Bon-Ton.
Music Lover
If it weren't for his day job, you're pretty sure that your boss would be on the road with his band headed to their next sold-out show.

Nature Lover

Moss Terrarium Bottle, $38, available at Uncommon Goods.
Funny Boss

Health Nut
