What will you do in your boss' birthday?

This is the first time I'm invited to my boss' birthday party. I don't know which I can buy for him. I talked to my colleagues, we'll gather money of all and we'll buy a birthday cake. How do you think?

if it is his birthday, it is just the same day as it is. it is normal and would be the same as everyone else's birthday

Getting a birthday cake on a birthday instead of gifts and present is always a good idea. This is what I feel in such cases. Because, I think we should not bring items having monetary value as far as professional relationships are concerned. If at all you want to gift him, then gift him as a group and not individually. You can get a really useful item for you boss. Communicate your boss's spouse about likings of your boss so that you can get a really good one. If you boss is not married you can talk to his/her friends, co collegues or family member, whomsoever that is possible for you. Happy Birthday to your Boss, anyways.

Hi. tkonlinevn. I think that a cake would be an excellent gift. Or either a gift certificate or money would be suitable too. It is very nice that you all are willing to do something so nice for your boss.

We too buy cake for our boss on his birthday. My boss just don't like big parties and so he doesn't even celebrate his birthday. And i guess the cake you will be buying for your boss will be greatly appreciated. It's the thought that counts and not the most expensive gift that one can give.

I think that would be better than each one of you thinking of an individual gift. When our boss had his birthday, we contributed money and had a mini-party at the office.

the boss' birthday is a hard one,i've only ever bought 1 boss a present and it was diabetic chocolate,coz i didn't know what else to get him,i didn't know what he could and could'nt eat or drink,in my opinion you can never go wrong with a gift voucher,that way they can get something that they actually want

A pleasant day to you tkonlinevn, First of all, your topic is very timing. Today is my boss birthday. I just greeted him sincerely by giving a small piece of note. With regard to your query, I think, a birthday cake is sufficient enough as a gift for your boss.

I would suggest a personalized gift like a mug or a pen. sound cheezy but i'm sure he'll appreciate it, especially if you bring him coffee everyday
