Need gift help!

[Callalily]

I need to purchase a gift for my male boss. Apparently people give gifts to their supervisors around here. I'm not too thrilled about this tradition, but when in Rome . . . Anyway I don't know what to get him. He's a super nice guy, but single, so I don't want the gift to seem anything more than that, just a gift.
Any help would be appreciated!

4. Oh sorry,

he's 35. He's an art history major, so I shy away from anything like that. He also knows his wines, so I shy away from that too. He loves cooking and was my "Iron Chef" partner last spring! Hmmm, maybe a cooking gadget?

2. Do you have any market type stores around you that do up baskets?

We have a place called Nino Salvaggio's that does gift baskets for just about every taste(and budget). They are elegant and not the typical "tacky type" fruit basket. I get one for my boss every year. Last year I got him the fixings for gourmet spaghetti. he looks forward to it every year...and in return, always gets a Disney T'shirt for my son when he's there. :hi: Good luck.

3. a bottle of wine

for example or another beverage. Just an idea.

5. A gift for the boss from each of you...

That seems a little unnecessary. Why don't you guys all chip in and get him a gift together...IMHO

7. A book, DVD or CD is about right for a boss

taking the time to give me suggestions.

9. How about a gift certificate? Nothing is less personal.

... to a store of one of his interests. That way, you don't have to bang your head figuring out what he may actually like and doesn't have.

10. Give him a thank you note for not being a prick.
