Gift Ideas for Your Boss (or Anyone Else) 2016

The holidays are here and once again you need to find the perfect gift to give to your boss. Forget the ties, the gift cards, and the cookie baskets. We here at Blue Chip Talent will help take the guesswork out of your shopping decisions by identifying some cool gifts that will get the office talking. The following products have all been used by our staff and come highly recommended.

1. CamelBak Eddy 1L Bottle

CamelBak water bottles are a great gift for anyone, physically active or not. Give your boss the convenience of less trips to the water cooler with a big 1L water bottle. The less time for your boss at the water cooler means more time for them to think about your promotion! Plus, it shows that you care about their health and well-being. In this germ-conscious, fitness-focused world, a new, big, reusable water bottle is a good way to go.

2. Nerf N-Strike Strongarm + Dart Pack

We love having Nerf gun fights in our office, so if your boss is as fun-loving as we are, then a Nerf gun will be a trip. Even if your boss isn’t into dart wars, maybe they have a child who would love a Nerf gun. The extra dart pack will help your boss reload quickly instead of having to dodge around collecting the fallen ammo. The less time for your boss to reload their Nerf gun means more time for them to think about your promotion! (Sensing a pattern yet?)

3. Anker Astro E1 5200mAh Portable Charger

Nearly everyone has a smartphone, tablet, laptop, and mp3 player. Well, those devices still have batteries that need recharging every so often. The Anker portable charger is a small, compact, slim battery pack that will give your boss the flexibility to charge any device they have whenever they need to. The less time for your boss to search for an open plug outlet…okay we won’t make the same joke a third time, but you get what we’re saying.

4. Mr. Coffee Mug Warmer

Nobody likes lukewarm coffee. Keep your boss smiling and “perk”y by getting them something to keep their java or tea hot all morning and afternoon.

5. PurseN Travel Pillow Organizer

Have a boss that travels a lot? This is a travel pillow that will not only save their neck from pain, but also save their items from getting misplaced or out of arm’s reach during their travels. This pillow is one of Oprah’s Favorite Things for 2016 so you know it must be good.
