NRMA’s CEO Rohan Lund. “Working across
various companies over the years I have
myself received everything from hampers
worth hundreds of dollars to very generous
gift cards.”
BUYING FOR YOUR BOSS
When choosing a gift for her boss at
Christmas, Nadia is able to draw on her
knowledge of his interests. “We have worked
together for six or seven years across several
different companies,” says Nadia, “I know
Rohan loves to travel with his family so I
sometimes get him a guide book for his next
holiday. I have also given him gold class
vouchers for the movies so that he and his
wife can enjoy a night out.”
Etiquette specialist Anna Musson agrees
that a gold class movie voucher is a lovely
gift idea. “When it comes to a gift for your
boss, you need to think about what you’d like
your Christmas bonus to look like next year,”
says Anna, who runs The Good Manners
company and conducts a range of etiquette
courses for businesses.
“Think about their lifestyle and what they
and their partner both enjoy.”
Anna’s recommendations for a gift
for your boss include a beautiful quality
pen, French Champagne or something
monogrammed.
“Anything that provides an element of
luxury is a lovely gift. You could give a
monogrammed leather bound notepad,
a luggage tag or personalised stationery,
depending on your budget.”
