How to Save Money On Travel This Summer

What to Get Your Boss for the Holidays

Every year around holiday time, offices become sleepier, employees become a little more distracted, and everyone tends to bolt out the door a bit more quickly at the end of the day. Whether it's the food, the time off, or the family we have waiting for us at home, it's essential to remember your work life still exists around the holidays. One way to do that is to get your boss an awesome and unforgettable gift.

People often get awkward around gift-giving season, because they don't know what's appropriate to get. What budget, what category, and how long do you have to be working there to be eligible for giving? Here are some tips: keep it simple, keep it thoughtful, and don't go overboard. In order to not seem too over-the-top, it's helpful to first consider a group gift from all of your coworkers. Don't give cash, don't give something super personal, and don't spend a fortune. If you're in a crunch, try some of these items.
