How to Give Boss's Day Gifts. National Boss's Day, every October 16th, is a reminder that
to get respect, it helps to give it. Make your boss's day memorable and build office
comradery -- all while getting a few moments of fun. You will need Party Coworkers Gifts
Jokes and flowers. Step 1. Throw a potluck party with your coworkers and have someone
bring the boss's favorite dessert, or homemade cookies. Step 2. Give a bobble head, t-shirt,
or DVDs from the TV hit _The Office,_ ideal for the occasion. Check with HR about the
company's gift policy to make sure your plans conform. Step 3. Surprise the boss with desktop
accessories, like a puzzle cube, a paperweight, a novelty pen, an electronic diary, a leather
desktop catchall, or colorful stress balls. Look into a customized coffee mug with goofy
sayings. Remember to honor the boss out of genuine regard rather than hoping to gain
points, or you may be disappointed. Step 4. Drop a load of boss jokes on your boss's desk
anonymously to start the day with a laugh. Make sure to choose at least a few that feature
a boss who comes out as a funny part of the joke, rather than the butt of it. Step 5.
Chip in with your coworkers and buy tickets to your boss's favorite team's game, a musical,
or a theater event, or go in on a book, CD or DVD based on what you've picked up over
the year about their personal tastes. Step 6. Send a bouquet with a card with sincere
appreciations expressed individually from everyone in the office. Did you know Patricia
Bays Haroski registered National Boss Day with the Chamber of Commerce in 1958 to honor
her boss -- her father.
