Step 1
Try to find a way to ease your boss's load, make them feel appreciated, or even support them. Listening can be a great gift. When your boss starts talking about something that he/she is worried about, listen carefully and offer to help if possible, or just empathize with them.

Step 2
Leave a post-it note on their desk that thanks them for a favor or for their encouragement. This is a very simple way to say thank you to your boss and is probably the least awkward way also.

Step 3
Buy a bag of Lindt truffles and attach a small gift card saying "Thank You Boss! Lindt truffles go far with anyone, and chocolate contains chemicals that help you relax and relieve stress. Perfect for every boss!

Step 4
Offer to help them with a simple task that they don't have time for. Sometimes a thank you is best when it is not said aloud. Relieving a bit of your bosses burden will speak louder than any words.

Step 5
Invite your boss and their family over for dinner. An informal barbecue is always relaxing and fun. This is a great way to show that you appreciate them as a person and they are worthy of friendship.
