It’s time to celebrate the head honcho with some Boss’s Day gift ideas!
Boss’s Day, which is observed every year on Oct. 16, is a day for employees to acknowledge their managers for all the hard work they do throughout the year. The idea came about when an insurance company employee named Patricia Bays Haroski registered the day as a holiday back in 1958 in honor of her boss — who also happened to be her father. She chose Oct. 16 because it was her father’s birthday, and she wanted it to be remembered as the day that strengthens the bond between employers and their workers.
Nowadays, we still honor our supervisors by giving them a thoughtful token of our appreciation. But how do you pick the right present for the captain of the ship? The first step is to think about their personality and management style.
Here are some helpful Boss’s Day gift ideas that are a perfect fit for any type of boss.
