How to choose?
When choosing an elite gift manager should take into account several aspects.
- Floor. Plays, perhaps, the main role in determining the gift. Despite the fact that the majority of VIP gifts for bosses are made in a business style and are suitable for both men and women, gifts for women are usually decorated more softly, edges are rounded off on the diaries, accessories of lighter tones. And certainly a rare woman can give a weapon or a wine set.
- Character. Management methods for all chiefs are different. Some directors hold employees in the “yoke”, and some, on the contrary, have familiarity with the team. Business accessories or interior gifts are more suitable for the first type of bosses, while the second type can be easily donated and things for personal use.
- Preferences. Choosing a personal gift, you need to pay attention to the leader's hobby. So, if your boss likes fishing, give him an expensive fishing pole, likes to relax in the fresh air - a tent.
- Amount. The spread of the cost of VIP-gifts is quite large, so you can choose a gift for the amount that you have.
What should be given with care?
But there are elite gifts that should not be given to your manager or should be chosen with great care. These are all kinds of cosmetics, even if they are very expensive. Not every man uses them, and a woman can regard this as a hint that she looks bad. If you do not know exactly what kind of perfume your head uses, then it is very difficult to please both women and men with the scent.
Be wary of giving alcohol. The boss may have problems with drinking, which he does not share with anyone. This also applies to lighters or cigars, as your manager may try to break the habit.
If you give a gift to a manager who is in a public office, then you should also be extremely careful with the cost of the gift. Expensive gifts can be regarded as a bribe.
Care must be given and pictures.
This is especially important if the gift is presented to a person who is well versed in painting.
This should in no case be a cheap copy or a framed poster. It is better to choose a picture from the author or a good reproduction of a famous picture.
Recently, it has become quite popular to give exclusive caricature statues as expensive gifts to managers. When presenting such a gift, you need to be confident in the sense of humor of your boss, otherwise such an image may offend.. This gift is more suitable for a not very strict manager.
