Buying a gift for your boss is one of the weirder social situations at work. Too personal feels presumptuous. Too generic feels like you bought it at the airport. Too expensive sends a message you didn't mean to send. The sweet spot is something that says 'I pay attention' without also saying 'I have opinions about your life.' The good news is that this calibration is not actually that hard once you know what you're looking for: quality everyday objects, consumables that feel considered rather than default, or something that connects to an interest you've actually observed them have. These land. The mug that says WORLD'S OKAYEST BOSS does not.
