A Feminine Gift
From designer bags to silk scarves, perfumes, string of pearls, spa retreat gift baskets, etc, all would appeal to the feminine side of your boss. Considering the life that your boss has outside the office, selecting a gift that she is most likely to use would make for an excellent present. A potted plant, ornamental or decorative like orchids, Meyer Lemons, dwarf citrus fruits, etc. could brighten up the decor of her house as well as office. A window herb in a pot could serve the dual purpose of being both a decoration as well as a cooking ingredient! If your boss has an active funny bone then wrap a 'Chia pet' around the plant or the pot and present it to her! If you happen to know of her taste in books then you could even buy her the latest edition from her favourite author or genre. A scented candle or a collection of aromatherapy candles is, of course, a popular gift item for women of all age groups.

Gift Vouchers
Sometimes, when you don't know what to get for your boss, you could play it safe and get her a gift voucher from a mall, or a spa or fitness centre, or even a book store. Gift voucher to a restaurant, movie or even to a game of sports is a great idea. These vouchers not only show your concern and thoughtfulness but also depict your intelligence in letting your boss choose whatever she likes. This is a good option when you are a new employee and do not know much about your boss's likes and dislikes as yet.

Customised Gifts
Turn the timeless memories into wonderful customised gifts by choosing a favourite picture/s of your boss and getting it printed on a mug, sweat-shirt or even a t-shirt. Include a personal message to deliver your thoughts and feelings if you are planning to make a collage. You can customize almost anything, starting from a coffee mug, coasters, mouse pads, magnet arts, calendars, photo frames, photo books and photo albums, tee shirts, aprons etc. A medal, trophy or a certificate saying 'Best Boss Ever' can also make her feel special, appreciated and loved at the same time.

Although you'd like to think that you are the best possible gift that she can have as a boss, gifting a random thing here and there would still be a good idea. After all, how else can you make her feel how special you are as an employee!
