Choosing a gift for your boss is not easy. It should not be too expensive, the chef's banal pens and diaries are also unlikely to please. In order to present a truly interesting present, find out in advance the tastes of the boss, take an interest in his hobbies, and be aware of possible dislikes.
The main rule of a gift for a chef is not too high a price. An overly expensive present can be perceived as a bribe. Expensive watches, collectible wines, jewelry will be presented to the chef by partners or close friends. Your task is to please your boss with an original and memorable gift.
Be careful with funny presents. They're usually pretty commonplace, and everyone has a different sense of humor. Gifts from a joke store should only be presented to those executives who really love unusual things. Items with religious symbols, weapons, perfumes and cosmetics are considered inappropriate gifts.
You should not donate office supplies, especially those decorated with corporate symbols. Each executive has a collection of diaries, calendars and pens in his desk drawers. An exception may be an original writing instrument or table clock. Such a thing must be performed at a very high level and is usually presented on behalf of the whole team.
An ideal present for a female executive is a stylish floral arrangement. Instead of a traditional bouquet, present a flowerpot or basket with flowers fixed in a floral sponge with a special impregnation. Such a bouquet will last for a long time and will not require a special vase. Choose a composition that will fit into the interior of the boss's office. It is even better if you know in advance her preferences in varieties and shades of flowers.
Instead of cut flowers, you can give a beautiful potted plant: an orchid, poinzettia or flowering begonia.
A variety of delicacies can be considered a good gift. These are the gifts that are usually given in Japan, believing that good food, as opposed to useless souvenirs, will never be superfluous. You can purchase a basket of exotic fruits, a selection of expensive cheeses or deli meats. Good alcohol is a great option for both men and women. Of course, he will not suit the boss who is a convinced teetotaler. But if the chef does not mind alcoholic beverages, feel free to buy him high-quality cognac or whiskey. A more exotic drink will also pleasantly surprise the manager: grappa, armagnac, tequila or sherry brandy. It is better for ladies to give wine or liquor.
Choose alcohol for a gift not in an ordinary supermarket, but in a wine boutique.
If you know the boss's hobby, you can present a gift of the appropriate theme. However, if you do not understand the issue at all, it is better to present something neutral. For example, a motorist should be presented with an original handmade keychain, a bibliophile - a beautiful book cover, a cigar collector - an unusual ashtray. Gifts brought from other countries or cities are very good. These can be products of local craftsmen, which are not too expensive, but they look original.
A good gift can be a gift certificate to a good store of cosmetics, computer accessories, books. The amount should not be too large. Pack the certificate in a beautiful envelope. The only disadvantage of such a gift is the clearly marked amount that you spent on it.
