What is appropriate to get your boss for Christmas?

While the rules of business etiquette dictate that it is not necessary to give a Christmas gift to an employer, many people choose to do so as a display of goodwill and appreciation. Often a group of employees get together to buy a single gift for the boss.

A gift for a boss is generally something practical that relates to her work or personal interests. Some appropriate gift ideas for employers include food, gift cards, desk stationary or other work-related objects. In essence, anything that indicates an employee is appreciative of the boss, without becoming too personal, makes a valid Christmas gift.
