Do's and don'ts when buying for your boss

Make a good impression by keeping these do's and don'ts in mind when buying gifts for your boss.

DO consider a group gift.
One gift from a group of employees usually works well. If you do give a gift from the group, each group member should contribute the same amount. But if everyone doesn't want to chip in, giving individually is OK. A group card can be a nice gesture instead.

DON'T call attention to yourself.
If you are giving a gift on your own, avoid making a production of the gift-giving. This includes giving more than you can afford, or giving the gift in front of others.

DON'T force your boss to use your gift.
Giving a gift that can be used at home is best. If you do, your boss won't feel compelled to use or display it in the office. It also avoids putting your boss in the potentially awkward situation of identifying the gift-giver.
