Boss's Day Gift Basket Ideas
Boss's Day is a national holiday that honors bosses across the country. Traditionally, office employees gather together to do something thoughtful to honor the boss on this day. This year, show your boss how much you care by presenting her with a gift basket filled with items like office toys or stress relievers. Does this Spark an idea?

Stress Relievers
-
Many bosses feel stressed at some point throughout their work week. You can help relieve some of your boss's daily tension by putting together a gift basket filled with items aimed at stress relief. Fill up a basket with handheld stress balls, lavender- or vanilla-scented aromatherapy candles and relaxing CDs of classical music or nature sounds.
Office Toys
-
A variety of toys can be placed around an office to inspire humor and fun among coworkers. On Boss's Day, gift your boss a few of these items to bring a smile to his face whenever he sees them. Fill a basket with office toys like an over-the-door basketball hoop or a small, desk-sized pinball machine. Not all bosses will enjoy such a whimsical gift, so use your discretion when considering giving a toy-themed gift basket.

Refreshment Basket
-
Taking a break from work to enjoy a cup of coffee or tea is a welcome retreat from the grind. To appeal to your boss's sweet tooth, put together a refreshment basket that is based on her favorite brands of drinks and snacks. Fill a basket with a personalized mug, specialty coffee or tea products, and portable snacks like microwavable popcorn and nut packets.
Supplies
-
Every boss uses offices supplies in his day-to-day work. As an eminently practical gift, put together a gift basket filled with office supplies that are more unique than the run-of-the-mill items found in most office supply closets. Consider novelty items like rubber bands in various fun shapes (including animals), erasers that look like characters from "Star Wars," staplers painted red a la "Office Space," and even paper clips in shapes like stars and hearts.
