Struggling to find the perfect present for your boss? Our Christmas Gifts Ideas for Bosses in 2024 will help you impress and spread holiday cheer. From classy to quirky, we’ve got something for every type of boss. Let’s dive into the best gifts to make your boss’s holiday bright!
Boss Lady Tote Bag
A boss lady tote bag is the ultimate way to show your boss some appreciation at Christmas. She can use it for everything, from work items to makeup.
OASSIE makes a bag with an encouraging message: “A woman who prays, slays, and makes her own money, minds her own business, does her best, and trusts GOD for the rest.” The bag is 100% canvas and hand-wash-only with plenty of space for all her items.
Wireless 3-in-1 Magnetic Charging Station
A wireless 3-in-1 magnetic charging station is the perfect Christmas gift for the boss who always needs more battery. It provides easy charging at work or anywhere with access to a plug socket. Managers and leaders simply place compatible electronics on the pads and wait for charging to commence.
We like the Belkin MagSafe 3-in-1 wireless charger. It comes with three charging modules (for smartphones, watches, and earbuds) and is compatible with most recent Apple products. The brand claims it can charge most handsets from 0% to 80% in less than 45 minutes.
Natural Sunlight Desk Lamp
Sitting by a window with natural sunlight is the gold standard for healthy working environments. It improves mood, productivity, and sleep patterns by mimicking the natural daily rhythm.
Unfortunately, bosses working in windowless rooms don’t always have this luxury. Therefore, a natural sunlight desk lamp from Honeywell could help. These emit a soft, natural light with zero flicker or ghosting to recreate the effect of the sun. Modes include 3000K warm white, 4000K natural white, and 5700K cool white for the brightest days.
Honeywell supplies the light with an adjustable stand, 10W LED, and 48 full-spectrum lamp brands. The light is also foldable and easy to store when your boss wants to take it home.
Portable Air Purifier
If your boss is always complaining about the stuffy air in the office, consider getting them a portable air purifier. These remove microparticles from the atmosphere, helping them breathe better while working at their computer.
PureZone’s Mini Portable Personal Air Purifier takes this concept to the next level. Its lightweight design means bosses can carry it with them and purify the air in any environment. Remove dust, pollen, smoke, pet dander, and other irritants to reduce the risk of allergies and respiratory problems.
Cooking Classes
Cooking classes are the gift that keeps on giving. These provide your boss with skills they can use for a lifetime.
International chefs lead the top classes. Celebrity instructors teach students the shortcuts to creating incredible dishes and avoiding common mistakes. Bosses can learn everything from making sandwiches to souflées, online or in person.
Google Mini Nest
Google’s Mini Nest is a special thank-you gift for bosses who worked hard all year. The personal assistant can answer their questions and provide helpful information (like telling them they have an appointment in 30 minutes).
Because Google’s Mini Nest uses the brand’s sophisticated artificial intelligence, it is more capable than similar products on the market. The device connects to the search giant’s cloud servers to provide weather updates, scheduling information, and detailed answers to random work-related questions. It’s like having an ashtray-sized assistant with them all day!
Digital Photo Frame
Getting photo frames is something employees have done countless times before for their bosses. However, buying digital photo frames is new and original.
Atatat sells a digital photo frame with an IPS screen for wider viewing angles at 1080p resolution. The technology means the viewer can observe photos realistically (instead of subjecting them to that washed-out common on most laptop screens). Bosses can scroll through images using a remote control, set the device to slide-show mode, delete unwanted pictures, and connect to SD cards and USB HDDs for additional data.
Air Travel Compression Socks
Bosses who travel a lot for work are at risk of nasty health problems, like deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The condition occurs when clots form in the legs after long 12-hour flights.
Fortunately, getting them air travel compression socks could help. These reduce swelling and the risk of DVT, helping to keep them feeling fresh once they arrive at their destination.
2XU sells a flight compression sock that extends from the toes to the upper calf. The light cotton blend fabric has an anatomical design for additional support and swelling reduction while the vented toe panel offers extra breathability in stuffy aircraft cabins.
Horti Subscription
If your boss’s desk needs extra greenery, consider signing them up for a Horti subscription. This service provides them with curated kits containing hardy plants that spruce up their workspace and keep everything looking fresh and dandy.
With the month-to-month service, your boss will receive plants every four weeks, species information, and potting instructions. Most items arrive in a six-inch clay pot and saucer for placing on desks, window sills, cafeterias, and refrigerators. Plants ship immediately and then every month after that (depending on the subscription you choose), giving your boss something new every month.
Cold Brew Maker
Hot coffee is available and accessible in most offices. But what happens if your boss wants something colder to drink?
That’s where Ovalware’s RJ3 cold brew coffee maker could help. It features a large carafé with infuser and spout, ready to extract all the goodness from the beans.
Bosses like cold brewing because it is 70% less acidic than hot brewing. The taste is richer and more refreshing, making it the perfect foil for Christmas turkey roast.
Ovalware’s product uses a medical-grade stainless steel filter and cap with extra-thick borosilicate glass and a BPA-free airtight silicone seal. The rubber cushion mat on the base prevents sliding or rocking around – perfect for offices.
Stadium Seat
If your boss likes to watch the big game, consider getting them a stadium seat. These improve comfort immensely and eliminate the need to perch on hard plastic for 90 minutes.
Picnic Time makes a padded stadium seat offering additional support. The design features a cushioned back with armrests on either side for resting tired limbs.
What’s more, bosses can take it anywhere thanks to its flat-pack design and use it in all weathers, due to its water-resistant underside. There’s also a zippered storage pocket for keeping valuables safe during matches.
Alternative Christmas Gift Ideas For Bosses
EVOO Sprayer
If your boss loves to cook on the grill, consider getting them an EVOO sprayer. These disperse extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) and vinegar evenly across food, improving their cooking (not that they would need any help, of course!)
EVO Oil Sprayers come in various shapes with special non-aerosol nozzles that dispense cooking oil and vinegar in a fan-like pattern. The brand does not use propellants to release a consistent 0.25 tsp of cooking oil with each squeeze.
Portable Bluetooth Keyboard
Bosses often need to work on the move but don’t always want to travel with their laptops, just in case work never arrives. That’s where a portable Bluetooth keyboard could come in handy. These connect to smartphones and allow word processing and email-writing on the move at the last minute.
Rykwurde makes a Bluetooth keyboard with a handy folding protective case smartphone holder. The setup allows bosses to instantly turn their smartphone into a notebook computer wherever they go without the risk and bulk of a laptop.
Visual Analog Timer
A visual analog timer is an ideal gift for bosses on productivity kicks. It helps them break their work into blocks, improving time management and enabling them to get more done.
Visual analog timers have a 60-minute clock face with the first 15 minutes for breaks and rest, and the next 45 minutes for deep focus. The Time Timer Store comes in four removable silicone colors and an optional audible alert sound once work time is up. Just pop an AA battery in the back and it’s ready to go.
Desktop Vacuum
ODISTAR’s desktop vacuum cleaner lets your boss automate their desk cleaning, picking up debris like a regular robot vacuum. It saves them time on a Friday evening and adds fun to long office hours.
ODISTAR equips the vacuum with a 360-degree rotatable design, allowing it to move across desks in any direction. The capture nozzle at the front picks up large debris (unlike some designs), making it perfect for sucking up biscuit crumbs and stray raisins. Furthermore, it is quiet so it won’t disturb them (or anyone else) while in operation.
Desk Storage Bar Organizer
With all the work they have to do, some bosses have messy, unkempt desks. Worse still, no amount of tidying seems to solve the problem.
That’s where Yamazaki’s desk bar organizer could help. It provides trays and storage compartments for pens, pencils, erasers, highlighters, paper clips, notes, watches, phones, money, and cufflinks. The Japanese company makes it from high-quality steel and walnut wood, giving it a wipe-clean design – perfect for cleaning up spills and other issues.
Acupuncture Mat
Bosses with neck and back pain issues might benefit from an acupuncture mat, a slightly painful-looking appliance with rave reviews for alleviating discomfort over time. These products feature thousands of tiny studs that press into the back when your boss lies on it, delivering ancient pain relief.
Nayoya’s acupressure mat has 6,210 points of contact and pairs with a pillow with a further 1,782 points for rapid neck and shoulder relief. Used correctly, it can improve circulation, eliminate headaches, and improve sleep quality in some individuals (or so the company claims). Bosses can use it while watching television or playing on their phones for a relaxing and enjoyable experience.
Portable Utensil Kit
Getting your boss a portable utensil kit sounds a little strange – and it is. But it can also provide all the tools they need to eat the foods they love on the go.
DEVICO makes a utensil kit with a knife, fork, spoon, straw, chopsticks, and straw cleaning brush, allowing your boss to eat whatever they want when out of the house. All the cutlery fits into a small pouch with a toggle for convenience. Bosses can slip it in their bags or put it in their lunch carriers, ready to use when they finally sit down to eat something.
Balance Board Standing Mat
Standing desks are okay, but balance boards may be even better according to science. These accessories wobble, twist, and turn underneath your boss’s feet, relieving knee pain and enabling position changes when working in one place for a long time.
Trobing’s mat wobbles to an 8.2° angle, keeping the body busy and reducing fatigue risk. It also comes with a foot-massaging roller ball in the center to relieve tired soles and heels after long sessions standing. Complete with a 5-year warranty, it won’t let them down!
Convertible Waist Pack
A convertible waist pack is another fantastic Christmas gift for an outdoorsy boss. These help them carry sundries and other small items without carrying a backpack.
Samsonite’s product is our favorite. It can transform into a waist pack, fanny pack, and cross-body sling for ultimate versatility and has a water-resistant nylon body material for keeping everything inside dry.
The main zippered compartment is suitable for compasses, small cameras, and other on-the-go necessities while the RFID front pocket provides additional protection for valuables.
Duffle Bag
Is your boss always struggling to fit everything they need for the day in their bag? If so, a duffle bag (smart enough for work) could be the solution.
Restore makes a sporty duffel bag that combines function and style for the active boss. It has side zippered pockets for clothes and a hidden slash for smartphones, keys, and wallets. The top flap is large enough to secure a yoga mat and the dual-carry handles make the bag straightforward to lift and dump inside lockers.
Cheap Gift Ideas Bosses Love
Rechargeable Hand Warmer
Nothing is more annoying than cold hands at Christmas time. Freezing fingers and thumbs take the joy out of everything – even for bosses.
Given this reality, why not get your boss a rechargeable hand warmer? These affordable devices keep their mitts toasty even when the weather disappoints.
Orastone makes a portable hand warmer that takes just two minutes to hit 42°C. It also comes with a sizable battery, allowing it to run up to four hours – more than enough for a last-minute Christmas shopping trip. Simply wrap the attached cord around the wrist and experience the joyful warmth.
Fidget Pen
Like the rest of us, bosses sometimes want to fidget. The constant need to move is often all-consuming.
That’s where fidget pens could come in handy. These feature magnetic sections that bosses can rearrange into everything from stick figures to bicycles. Simply rotate the interconnecting blocks to create swords, robots, and monsters. It certainly beats thumb-twiddling!
Body Back Buddy Massage Tool
If your boss always complains about a stiff or uncomfortable back, consider getting them a Body Back Massage tool. These affordable accessories provide relief fast, targeting pressure points in the neck, back, shoulders, legs, and feet.
Body Back equips the massager with hooks and knobs designed to alleviate pain and soreness across the body. Unlike single muscle tools, the massager can rock back and forth, providing deeper relief and more massage styles than single-hook products.
Furthermore, unlike most cheap bits of plastic, it’s made in Knoxville, USA, and built to last. Now that’s quality!
Combination Bike Lock
Does your boss cycle to work? If so, consider getting them a combination bike lock. These keep their wheels safe during long office stints.
Ottolock makes a combination bike lock called the Hexband. Its steel and kevlar construction make it heavy-duty and flexible, capable of resisting the most powerful tools.
Better yet, the whole thing only weighs 250 grams – much less than standard locks. It also coils neatly into a circle when not used for stuffing into rucksacks or putting inside coat pockets.
Boss Lady Candle
What smells like a woman with strong leadership skills? A boss lady candle, of course!
We like Kreations USA’s candle because of its beautiful peony, water lily, and tea leaf aroma, and witty messaging. The product is made from 100% hand-poured natural soy wax and will burn for fifty-plus hours, meaning it could last until March!
What’s more, the glass jar and tin lid are 100% recyclable, making it just the sort of present your eco-conscious boss wants for Christmas.
Outback Cap
If your boss loves going on hiking adventures or spending long days at the golf course, buy them an outback cap. These protect their faces from harmful UV light while providing all the shade they need.
Enzyme’s cap is among the best we found. It comes with a buckle strap closure at the rear, a curved visor, a low-profile crown, and side panel grommets for additional ventilation. It is also available in numerous colors, including Columbia Blue, Bedrock, Navy, Mango, Royal Blue, White, Berry, and Khaki.
Phone Pop Grip
Bosses often have to text on their phones with one hand and type on the computer with the other. And, as you probably know from personal experience, this can create all sorts of hand-eye coordination issues.
Fortunately, there’s a solution: PopSockets PopGrip. Made with 35% plant-based materials to reduce emissions, these accessories stick to smartphones’ rear sides, giving users more control. Once extended, devices double as media stands, for snapping photos or watching videos hands-free.
Luxury Great Boss Gifts Ideas
Nutribullet 600W Blender
When Nutribullet introduced its first simplified blender system, it took the world by storm. Everyone wanted one (and other brands quickly copied them). Now the company is upping its game with its single-serve blender – a smaller product bosses can use in their kitchens or take to the office.
Nutribullets have a powerful 600W motor that turns fruits and vegetables into smooth pulp. Cyclonic action breaks down fibrous kale and collards into itty-bitty particles for gulping in the morning. These devices are also excellent for anyone on a plant-based diet wanting to make nutty sauces or soups.
Grown Alchemist Moisturizer
If your boss is at risk of dry skin over Christmas, why not get them some Grown Alchemist moisturizer? The brand’s daytime lotion contains plant-derived actives, including aloe and vitamin E to hydrate the skin without leaving a residual shine. It can also double as a makeup primer base, helping to save time in the morning.
Grown Alchemist’s moisturizer comes in a 65 ml or 100ml bottle size. Ninety-nine percent of people using the product agree it leaves skin feeling soft and refreshed, while 95% say it doesn’t make the skin look shiny.
Infinity Pillow
If your boss is always traveling, they might benefit from an Infinity Pillow. These twist and wrap around their bodies, allowing them to get comfortable on long flights, on the road, or at home.
We like Amsterdam-based BCXSY’s pillow because of its length and lumbar support. It’s available in multiple colors, including airy blue, burgundy, midnight gray, navy, and ochre yellow, and provides additional noise-canceling benefits.
Whiskey Tasting
Whiskey tastings are a wonderful gift for bosses who appreciate their drink. These introduce them to new spirits, helping them find the perfect single malt for the festive season.
The Whiskey Shop arranges in-store tasting experiences for guests, but there are plenty of tasting options countrywide. Good places to look for events include Facebook, Eventbrite, and Google.
Just make sure you choose something in your boss’s local area. You don’t want them trudging across half the country to indulge their single malt passion! (Or do you?)
Portable Espresso Machine
Standard issue office instant coffee is okay in an emergency, but shouldn’t be a staple. It’s bland and miserable compared to the real thing.
Therefore, consider getting your manager a Wacaco Minipresso espresso coffee maker. These let them make perfect brews without having to visit a coffee shop.
The device grinds coffee beans on the go ( like a regular machine), forcing water through them at high temperatures and pressures. The result is a shot of espresso your manager can add to water, warm milk, or cake batter.
Electric Wine Opener Kit
If your boss is lazy, opening wine bottles by hand is a chore. Screwing the cork and removing it with that satisfying “pluck” requires effort.
Fortunately, you can now get electric wine opener kits. These do all the annoying corkscrewing for you, allowing your boss to enjoy a glass of red in the evening without the usual hassle.
Witanhurst’s electric wine opener kit includes a battery-operated wine bottle opener, foil cutter, and charging stand. The elegant and opulent device works on all cork types, including plastic and synthetic corks. Simply place the WITANHURST over the wine bottle’s neck and press to activate cork removal. The tool’s corkscrew will begin boring into the cork, lifting it out without your boss having to go to any extra effort.
Self-Care Gift Set
Stressed-out bosses can benefit from self-care gift sets at any time of the year but especially at Christmas when family pressures multiply. These contain everything they need to stay calm and balanced over the festive season and beyond.
Naturally, we like Confetti Gift’s luxury self-care box. It contains everything needed for your boss to spoil their inner child, including bath salts, rum, scented candles, body butter, and delectable chocolates.
Marble Bookends
If your boss is the academic type, you might want to treat them to some marble engraved book-style bookends. These are the perfect adornments for their bookcases and shelves, allowing them to display their reading materials tidily.
Personalized Engraved Gifts offers a custom engraving service to make this concept even more compelling. Simply tell the firm the font style and the text you would like engraved for incredible results.
Funny Boss Gifts Ideas
HR-Approved Ways To Tell Employees They’re Stupid
Bosses can sometimes find it challenging to tell employees they’re stupid. Coming out with it directly isn’t always an option.
That’s why Jerry Lee has written a booklet with so-called HR-approved alternatives. This entertaining gift is the perfect manual to make your boss laugh, with funny expressions to tell people they’re dumb as doornails.
Be warned though: the actual contents are certainly not HR-approved.
Tears-Of-My-Staff Tumbler Cup
Staff cry tears of misery in the office every day. The only problem is bosses can’t capture them and sadistically savor every last drop.
Oh, wait a second – now they can with Shqiueos’s “TEARS OF MY STAFF” tumbler. This practical drinks cup is ideal for bosses who want to delight themselves in the sweet nectar of their colleagues’ despair.
The cup is made of food-grade stainless steel and is suitable for hot or cold drinks. It also comes with a tight lid to ensure no staff tears can escape before your boss has a chance to guzzle them all.
“We Are Enough” Christmas Card
A Christmas card telling your boss how wonderful you are as an employee will always make them giggle. YiKaLus makes a funny option for boss ladies, mentors, supervisors, leaders, and managers that says “We think having us as your employees is enough of a gift” and in brackets “You’re welcome.” It’s the sort of card that makes sense when you have a fun and light-hearted relationship with your boss.
YiKaLus prints the card on recycled 300gsm linen card stock, giving the product a luxurious feel. The brand also supplies it with a handy matching envelope for gifting and mailing to a location of your choice.
Things I Want To Say At Work But Can’t Coloring Book
Bosses can’t tell their colleagues they are awful to their faces (not usually, anyway). However, this “Things I Want To Say But Can’t” coloring book might provide a workaround. It lets bosses doodle and muse about their dreadful team, getting it out of their system before they say something they will regret.
The book from the Paperland Online Store has 62 pages with hilarious gags and rude insults to fill in. It also comes with blank pages for extra doodles should the need arise.
Boss Bobblehead
Does your boss like putting pictures of themselves up in their office? If so, they might like a boss bobblehead figurine that looks just like them to sit on their desk.
The Cool Hand Craft Co. makes the best boss bobbleheads on the market using polymer clay. Simply send a photo of your boss and they will create a figurine in their image. Contact them via Etsy messaging after placing your order to send the pictures of your boss and any additional customization instructions for the figurine.
Big Butt Positive Potatoes
Bosses can sometimes lose their sense of humor and feel downtrodden. After all, running a company is hard and there’s so much to do!
But give them a Big Butt Positive Potato and they will be right as rain. These cute little stitched desk accessories convey positive messages, encouraging bosses to keep going, no matter how tough everything gets.
Each Big Butt Positive Potato comes individually wrapped with plastic pouches. The flat-bottom design makes them suitable for placing on desks, sideboards, coffee tables, and counters without additional support.
S**t-Show Supervisor T-Shirt
Finally, is your boss a s**t-show supervisor? If so, they might appreciate a S**t Show t-shirt from Shirt Tower. It provides a helpful definition of what that means: “A problem-solving expert who fixes issues that no one else can figure out” and “A person whose job is to organize the chaos that is created on a daily basis. Also see: miracle worker, superhero.”
Shirt Tower makes the t-shirt by hand from 100% cotton for solid colors and 52% cotton to 48% polyester for heather colors. It also accepts customizations, but you must inform the brand of any bespoke changes you want to make to the standard design before it goes to print. (Also, think long and hard before buying this gift, just in case it goes down the wrong way!)
