You\u2019ve entered your name in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/secret-santa-generator\/\">Secret Santa generator<\/a> and are ready to see who you\u2019re paired with this year. Will it be your friend in accounting? Your favorite lunch buddy? Or the new woman, who you\u2019d love to get to know better? Oh, the endless exciting possibilities!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh, wait\u2014you got your boss. Well, might as well quit and find a new job.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay, so you don\u2019t have to be <em>that<\/em> dramatic, but drawing your boss\u2019s name can seem nerve-wracking. You want to get them what they want but don\u2019t want to be obsequious about it. You don\u2019t want to disappoint. And by gosh, you certainly don\u2019t want to offend. I have vicarious shiver-cringes at the thought of my boss opening a present and saying, \u201cWhy did you think I\u2019d find this funny?\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily, you can avoid that. Here are some great Secret Santa gifts for the boss, as well as advice on how to make the gift exchange fun for all.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for an Office-Safe Gift Exchange&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a lot of ways to make sure Secret Santa is fun for everyone. You don\u2019t want anyone to feel like they either have to participate in something they don\u2019t enjoy or risk being a \u201cwet blanket\u201d if they decline. So, think about what will be fun and comfortable for the whole group.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow these tips for an office-safe Secret Santa:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>If doing a theme, make it work for everyone. <\/strong>Office-safe themes make for <a href=\"\/blog\/2019\/10\/03\/9-office-safe-secret-santa-theme-ideas-for-work-parties-elf\/\">office-safe gift ideas<\/a>, like books or coffee or fandom.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Include an option for a <\/strong><a href=\"\/blog\/2019\/09\/26\/7-virtual-christmas-games-for-remote-office-parties-elf\/\"><strong>virtual office gift exchange<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong> That way, no remote workers are left out, and if you all suddenly have to work from home, the gift exchange can easily go home with you.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Consider setting a price limit.<\/strong> This is usually good advice anyway, and that way, you won\u2019t have to worry about breaking the bank to please the boss. (\u201cOh, I\u2019m sure she\u2019d like this fully-intact dinosaur skull!\u201d)<\/li><li><strong>Use a Secret Santa generator that lets people make wish lists.<\/strong> The best ones let you make <a href=\"\/blog\/2019\/11\/07\/can-i-make-a-wish-list-using-multiple-websites-elf\/\">wish lists from multiple stores<\/a>. That way, no one has to worry about guessing what gift someone would like, a strategy that can lead one down a short path to Cringe City.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Encourage people to make multiple wish lists. <\/strong>After all, what your boss has on their friends\u2019 gift exchange list might not be right for you to get them. Separate lists, happy employees.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Make sure people <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/secret-santa-rules\/\"><strong>play by the rules<\/strong><\/a><strong>. <\/strong>Stay within price limits. Nobody likes the person who adds a homemade scrimshaw carving or whatever. \u201cIt\u2019s free, but also priceless, boss!\u201d <em>Blech<\/em>.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Use a Secret Santa generator that lets you <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/shop\/\"><strong>browse gift guides<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong> This makes it easier for the boss to find exactly what they want, so you don\u2019t have to worry about getting the wrong thing.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what are some great Secret Santa gifts for the boss? Here are seven that should work nicely.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7 Great Secret Santa Gifts for the Boss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re not saying that these gifts guarantee a promotion, but\u2026okay, we\u2019re absolutely <em>not <\/em>saying that. Legally, even as elves, that would be ridiculous. But these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/shop\/gift-guides\/389\/\">gifts for the office<\/a> definitely de-stress the opening experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/shop\/search\/?q=lumbar%20support%20pillow\"><strong>Lumbar Support Pillow<\/strong><\/a>: This attaches to nearly every office chair and is perfect for relaxing neck muscles. It offers support and could very well reduce headaches, stress, and grouchiness. Really, it\u2019s just a nice thing to have. It\u2019s a thoughtful gift that says you genuinely care about their health.<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/shop\/search\/?q=standing%20desk%20mat\"><strong>Standing Desk Mat<\/strong><\/a>: Sticking on the subject of health, a mat encourages subtle movement while standing up. People will flex their feet, calves, and thighs, almost unconsciously bouncing up and down. This is especially needed if working from home, where we have a lot less incidental movement.&nbsp;<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/shop\/search\/?q=planters\"><strong>Planters<\/strong><\/a>: From good for the body to good for the soul. For a busy boss, consider a planter that can hold water for a week. Pick one that is small enough to fit on any desk and just lovely enough to let a person enjoy the slow miracle of growth. After all, it can never hurt to remind your boss about patience!&nbsp;<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/shop\/search\/?q=wall%20organizer\"><strong>Wall Organizer<\/strong><\/a>: Does your boss have a crowded desk? Are they always looking for things? Well, a wall organizer can get things categorized while keeping everything important in front of them. An organizer can also be good for mental health and could potentially free up desk space for even more little plants.&nbsp;<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/shop\/search\/?q=tumbler\"><strong>Tumbler<\/strong><\/a>: Keeps hot drinks hot! Keeps cold drinks cold! Prevents spills! Can be, like, dropped from great heights, or at least knocked off a desk, and suffer nary a ding. There\u2019s a reason why quality tumblers, like Yeti, are extremely popular. This is a great way to say to your boss, \u201cYour coffee temperature matters to me.\u201d Really, is there anything office workers can say that means more?<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/shop\/gift-guides\/813\/\"><strong>Coffee Accessories<\/strong><\/a>: Think we don\u2019t live in a new Renaissance? Think again. There are loads of handy coffee-related gadgets out there, from your choice of coffee maker to grinders to a neat little device that keeps mugs warm throughout the day.&nbsp;<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/shop\/search\/?q=adult%20coloring%20book\"><strong>Adult Coloring Book<\/strong><\/a><strong> and <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/shop\/search\/?q=colored%20pencils\"><strong>Colored Pencils<\/strong><\/a>: Your boss has a hard job. You recognize that, and you appreciate them. So, give them the gift of art to take their mind away for a little bit. Adult coloring books are all the rage now and are a genuinely good thing to give to someone.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Needless to say, these are pretty generalized. Not every boss will like these things. You have to know the person. But, these are the kind of gifts that are the least harmless\u2014they are actively helpful and thoughtful while remaining 100% appropriate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Be the Boss of Secret Santa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Honestly, getting a gift for the boss shouldn\u2019t be stressful. They\u2019re a human being too. They\u2019re someone you know. And, they likely have the same stresses, aches, and pains that you do. When considering their Secret Santa gift, think of them as a person, and not just the boss, and go from there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you use a Secret Santa generator that lets you create wish lists, and if you just remember that you\u2019re all just people trying to make each other happy, everything will be fine. It\u2019s a time to be happy. Let yourself be happy, and happiness will flow in all directions&#8230;even up the hierarchy chart.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"cta-box\"><strong><em>Looking for an easy gift-buying experience, for the boss or anyone else?
