Anyone who's been part of the workforce knows that a good manager can make all the difference in your career. If you're lucky enough to have a boss who is also a friend and mentor, a thoughtful "thank you" gift, no matter how small, is a great way of letting them know they're appreciated. To help you out, we've rounded up unique gift ideas for any boss.

It's not easy finding the perfect present for a manager, especially if it's their birthday or upcoming retirement celebration. You need a gift that reflects their personality, but doesn't feel too personal. For this reason, we've sprinkled in no-fail ideas for the boss who loves coffee, a work-from-home manager you've only met on Zoom or the busy executive who's in desperate need of self-care (a candle warmer lamp and shiatsu massager are just a few suggestions). We couldn't help but to include a couple funny boss gifts, too.

Keep in mind that many of these gift ideas for bosses are under $25. However, if you spot something a little pricey while you scroll, consider asking your co-workers to go in on a group gift. Your boss will be delighted either way!
