Default Re: Gift Ideas for a Female Boss

A nice Christmas tree ornament, or more than one arranged nicely in a basket. After Christmas this year, use the sales in January to get next years.

Picture frames. (I don't like knick knacks and I do like frames, but she may be different.)

Does she have an office with walls? A nice calendar, theme of something she likes.

A coffee or tea basket: specialty teas or coffees, maybe a couple cookies, a nice mug for work (that way you aren't decorating her house!), fancy sugar (turbinado, raw), honey, dried lemon or orange peel. With this them a lot can be very frugal/home made - for the coffees just google for recipes using ground coffee or instant coffee.

Stationery...great for some. (I never use it, I know people who love to use notecards and fancy paper all the time.)

Food basket...can be smaller...three to seven tasty little items.....nice crackers, maybe two kinds, shelf stable jarred dips/spreads, such as tapenade or pesto or garlic aioli, capers, nuts, marinated artichoke hearts or marinated mushrooms. Anything you know of that she would especially think is a treat; cashews, fancy olive oil, whatever. Can be done frugally.

Does she have a pet? Dog toys or treats, cat toys or treats. Can be arranged in a basket.

Depending on your work staffing/vibe: a framed picture of "the team."
