A desk toy
Even adults love toys. You can find a Bobble Head, Funko Pop, sand garden, or desktop fidgets.
Amazon has these desktop punching bags. Your boss or coworker will laugh when you give them this gift.
Alcohol
You can give your boss alcohol for several different reasons. You can acknowledge in a humorous way that alcohol makes the job easier or helps employees. You can also provide it as a gift, mainly if you spend much on specialty liquor or wine.
Before you bring alcohol to work, ensure the company’s policy allows it.
The blanket for the cold office
Is your office always a little chilly? A cozy blanket as a birthday gift for your boss or coworker is funny and thoughtful if cold offices are an issue or an inside joke.
Blankets and throws are available in different price ranges, depending on the budget you have set for your gift. You can choose something simple or luxurious.
Birthday gifts for your boss or coworkers? Here are some ideas
Check the company’s policies. Be sure there are no specifics regarding cash or alcohol or a policy prohibiting you from giving gifts to your supervisor.
Keep professional boundaries. Don’t give gifts that are too expensive or cheap. You may appear unethical.
Take into account the recipient’s personality and interests. After working with coworkers or your boss for a few months, you will get to know their personalities. A coworker with no sense of humor will not appreciate a humorous gift.
Buy a birthday gift for a coworker or boss as a group. This will avoid awkward situations and the appearance of favoritism.
