Gift for Boss?

Hi everyone,

In the next month I will be concluding my internship at a boutique AM. I worked closely with the CEO of the firm and developed a good relationship with him, and I'd like to get him a gift. I'll definitely be getting him a hand-written card. But what else? Many people have mentioned gifting wine but I'm not 21 yet, so will it be weird if I get him wine?

What are some of your gift suggestions?

 

Dude. What?!??! $20 to $50. A couple of hundred!?!?!? You are a student!

Definitely not a pen. Try some sports memorabilia is he likes a specific player or team. Maybe a cool executive toy, like some floating magnetic thingy. Definitely not a pen or wine. Cigars are okay, but you want something that last so you LEAVE a good impression; you don't want it all to just go up in flames (pun intended).

 
NYU:
Nobody thinks its inappropriate to get the CEO a gift? Have you received a full time offer? Or are you hoping for one in the future?

Nope, no FT, this internship is strictly to transition to IB recruiting.

Thanks for the responses, everyone -- so far 2x have said Macallan 12 and 1x said Woodford Reserve.

To add some more info, I have been interning here for ~6 months which I think makes it more appropriate to give a gift, right?

I like the liquor bottle idea... I'm a fan of bourbon. But honestly, why wouldn't you just buy something that you know he will enjoy? Make it personal.

Bought whiskey for analyst and senior associate for Christmas. One liked scotch, so I knew he would appreciate it. But even if the other didn't, he could regift it. That's the beauty of alcohol.

 

Why would you give your boss a gift? A job is a transaction: you give your time, your boss gives his money. I would field incredibly awkward giving my boss a gift after my internship. It would give a kiss-ass impression. Plus, like you, I am a student. There is a reason why bankers never let you pay for their coffee. It is just awkward for a student, who is stereotypically poor, to buy you a gift.

The job is a transaction, but the mentorship gained by an intern from the CEO of the firm is not. If someone has gone out of his or her way to not only transact with you, but to invest time in your development as a professional and as a human being in general, then it's totally appropriate to be grateful. It's just good business dude.

Agreed NR. I have completed a number of 6 month internships, on my third now, and for each of my prior two I got my direct manager a small token and the same for anyone else who has gone above and beyond to help me progress.

My first internship I knew my boss liked cooking, so (in Boston) there is a olive oil store (Newbury, if anyone is interested) and I picked him up a nice bottle of olive oil. I knew his favorite dish to make (asked a few months ahead of time for this reason) and found him a great oil to pair it with.

My second internship my manager was a big tea afficionado, I had a friend that worked at Teavana and got a great reccomendation on some blooming teas I did not think he had tried yet. From those I still stay in touch with at the firm he still uses the teapot and reguarly buys blooming teas.

I think its all about personalization - getting a generic gift, to me, says you had a generic experience. I'd rather give a short, personalized, card saying thank you for the expereince than a bottle of scotch.

This kid knows what's up. Extravagant gifts are thank yous for extravagant fees or a way to make the point that you are very successful.

 

Friend got his boss a bottle of JWBlue after the internship. He drank a shot out of it and then wraped it up and sent it to his boss with a note that said "I always wanted to do that shot with you". No homo.

Did the note also say no homo?

 

If you can find out his favorite type of hard liquor, get him a 750ml of that. Otherwise, if he golfs, then maybe a sleeve of Pro V 1s? A simple gift of expensive golf balls that every golfer appreciates (and prob doesn't buy.) Maybe even get them personalized if u know him well, nothing gay tho, no offense to gays.

 

what do you know about him on a personal level? Get him something that relates to what he had shared with you that is more on the personal side than just biz. Standard gifts like alcohol and pens are too typical.

If he ever shared anything private, like how he loves soccer or traveled to some far corners of the world, then you should get him something that will remind him of those moments.

This is the advice you should follow if your boss is also your gay lover.

 

A bit off topic, but I have never given/received a gift to/from a boss, for any occasion. In my first job (boutique ibd), the CEO received homemade cookies from a chick for Christmas and she got ripped behind her back as being a kiss ass.

Is giving/receiving gifts common at all of your companies? Sorry to hijack... but, I agree on the Macallan 12 recommendation.

 

Do not spend a lot of money on a gift. That is what will make you look like a kiss-ass. You are giving him a gift as a form of respect and as a thank you. Definitely go with the handwritten card as well. I like to go with a gift certificate to a good restaurant in the area. It's simple, and everyone's gotta eat.

If nobody hates you, you're doing something wrong
 

I personally like Talisker 10. By experience, young people like it but old people don't.

But definetly go with scotch, cigars and order some good food that will be dropped in his office.

 

After reading the comments from a couple of teenagers advising you to buy him scotch or "something special", just like for your girl friend...

I'll advise you not to listen to most of those idiots. This is what I do with clients Whiskey, Cigars etc... Is a no if you are on a budget. The minimum you are looking to spend is $100 on a bottle of Whiskey. Cigars if your client is Muslim can be a good touch (no alcohol), otherwise you are not buying for Geiko here... Buy him a good bottle of wine at $40+ that's a good touch. Very safe as well, and a good neutral gift.

The other thing you can think of doing, get lunch on your last day for your whole team, or office if it's a small office. I always encourage my interns to do that. If really on a budget get some cakes for the afternoon; but pizza is cheap and a good touch.

Again, ignore the penis crossing from above about the different types of cheap whiskey you should be getting him.

You are clearly either Canadian or know nothing about good scotch.

 

um, no. you will probably look like a tool. Usually, everyone will pool in cash to give a bonus to the admin. It'll usually be scaled based on your seniority (For example, our MD gave about $2k, SVP - 1500, VPs - 500, associates - 250, and analysts - 100 or something to that extent).

If you are intent on doing something, I think the most you should do is maybe a holiday card. What are you thanking him for? Not laying you off?

 

At my bank, gifts always flowed downwards, and never upwards. I'd only recommend getting your superior something if it has meaning. For example, if you were in a region that you know your MD really likes, perhaps bring him a postcard or something super cheap. You certainly won't be expected to produce anything for anyone.

Still waiting for the Robb Reports "Gifts for the person who has everything list" Liked the affordable custom yacht and A380, yours for the low price of $500 million!

 

OP, an underage freshman/sophomore in college giving a nice bottle of scotch they've likely never tasted or experienced to his internship boss is remarkably douchey and presumptuous. Definition of trying too hard...sounds like something you would read on TFM.

Whoever suggested something personal was right. My first internship boss liked flyfishing, got him a guided trip for two later that August. Got my second internship boss a home brew kit because he used to own a few bars and is a beer nut. Get him and his wife some tickets to something: music, basketball, theater, etc...Macallan 12 from a 19 yr old is a fucking eye roller.

 

No for the tie, obviously he already has nice ties. Make sure he's Christian before you assume. A really nice bottle of wine ($50-100) is what I would do.

$50-100? Your'e so cheap. Barboon got it right. I was trying to get an internship with a prestigious boutique firm during my xmas break. I gave a big investor of the firm I've known the past two years at my school (he's invested in our school) a bottle of JW: Blue Label for xmas to show my appreciation for help over the years. He told me to forward him my resume. Got a call the next day. Currently interning.

didnt write $50-100 anywhere, dont know what are you reading. nonetheless, point taken. i like Johnnie blue as well.

  • my beloved copy of 'Essays of Warre Buffet' autograph and special note by Warren on front page (both of us love buffet, ....who doesnt?)
  • blu ray set of Godfather

just throwing ideas

 

Have you been in his office? What does he have displayed? Figure out his interests and I would imagine you already know his personality, so get him something that acknowledges his interests and reflects his personality. For example, if his big interest is sailing and he got the in-depth-research type personality, get him a beautifully bound reference book of different hulls and sails or of yacht races around the world, something like that. Btw, if he has several interests, I'd pick the more obscure one, chances are he got more people sharing and "approving" his love of yachting, than he has acknowledging his love of underwater basketweaving let's say, so a framed high quality print of a basket would produce a stronger response than would a print of a yacht.

I wouldn't buy alcohol, $150 gets you bottle of 21 year old glenlivet, not bad but not impressive, especially to someone who has everything. It's like if someone got you a bottle of sky vodka. Gifted horse is a gifted horse, but a sincere thank you letter would beat alcohol any day.

thanks. I agree.

ur display picture is dope

 

I think Argonaut's got the right idea. We can't really help you because it should be personal. If he's boring and doesn't do anything interesting, then at least give him a non-cliche present.

 

Another problem with alcohol: unless you are 100% sure the person is not a recovered/recovering alcoholic and hadn't lost a close one to drunk driving/alcohol poisoning, it really becomes a gamble. But even if u r sure the giftee partakes, a set of high end accessories (wine opener, whiskey stones, etc) is still classier. A bottle of liquer is a better gift for ur frat brother.

More is good, all is better
 

Yeah, I think JW Blue is a bit of a cliche. It's something that an analyst gets his MD for Christmas, not something you get a person with whom you share a special bond. I would try to go more personal, find an obsure interest,ect. If you decide to fo the JW Blue route, then try to add something special to it. Like glasses with his family's crest, or glasses that are nicely engraved.....something that he will keep and won't go in the garbage when the bottle's empty.

"Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, for knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA."
 

I would not go for the JW: Blue at all. In fact, I think it's just a bad gift to give. If you are spending money on Whiskey, buy something nice in the 200-350 range, because it's something unusual that no one else would expect to give. If you're going to spend the 250 on JW: Blue (At least based around the price that my local store sells it for when it's not on sale) then find something at the same pricepoint. I would recommend the Highland Park 25, John Jameson's Rarest Vintage Reserve or the Talisker 25. I really would consider something unusual, as it stands out a bit more from other booze since the selection given is pretty limited across the board.

 

Usually old guys get nostalgic about older movies. Find out what movies he's into and find him a vintage poster and get it a nice frame. Poster is ~$25, frame is probably ~$75. If you're willing to spend a bit more than that, you could probably get an original for ~$200 and have it framed for the same amount. It's a nice gesture, shows you know your boss, and you went out of your way to do something nice for him. Can't imagine this going badly

Since she's legal, and apparently a stoner, I mean really, who in their right mind will believe that she was smoking Salvia? Really. Really. Really? What's next? Is she going to become a coked up washout?

You can put a movie poster just about anywhere in your home. Chances are he has a home study or a tv room or something where it would fit.

Idk why people are bashing the JW:Blue label. It's not so much the alcohol as it is the brand. If I got him a bottle of 21 yr old ABC brand liquor that tastes better but no one knows what it is, he probably wouldn't know it costs so much. JW:Blue Label I feel is less about the liquor and more about "hey, I thought of you this holiday season and to show my appreciation for everything you've done over the past year(s), I thought I'd treat you to a bottle of well known fine liquor".

Also, for the record, I tried JW and...uh...it tastes like crap. Glenlivet any day over that trash. But Glenlivet 25yr is like 350 down here and being as I'm a college student and the guy hasn't secured me an actual paying FT job, JWB was the way to go.

Maybe he's waiting to see what kind of gift you come up with before he gets you that FT job...the Glenlivet could be the catalyst...never know

You are NOT going to impress someone who makes 7-8 figures with mid price range alcohol. And even if you were to spring for last century's Chateau Lafite, you would just be inappropriate.

First off, Miley Cyrus? Gross. Megan Fox or Scarlett Johansson I could understand.

Secondly, I got my MD two Clinique de-puffing eye rollers (since he has been complaining about the bags under his eyes) and all four seasons of Mad Men (it's his new favorite show...).

Generic gifts are the worst. He will forget who even gave him the gifts.

 

Vito,

Go with something Dodger-ish. Do a little recon, possible ride out to Chavez Ravine. A man his age (if he's a lifelong Angelino) would probably shit himself over a Koufax/Drysdale mural? Maybe a Vin Scully autographed pic from the late 50's? You get my drift. Fuck all this other shit. If you really want to warm an old man's heart give him a piece of the infield, so to speak.

Imagine getting him alcohol and he ends up being muslim ... niiice

If he really really likes sailing and the open seas, I'd probably buy him a nice big shipwheel to hang somewhere in his office. Ofcourse, if you want to go that route, get him one that would match his decor and the color hues in the room (makassar wood shipwheel if it's a darker-toned kind of room).

Also, I saw this nice frame somewhere with 20 different types of knots inside of it. Looks really classy and probably suitable for a person like him.

Sounds like an amazing person to have as a friend and boss!

This might depend on how close you are with him, but to think outside the box you could gift him something that will let him share it with his family if he's married, with kids, etc. Sometimes they can be more personal and reveal small bits of information about their family life, such as his daughter constantly asking him or something or his son wanting to go somewhere, tickets to a broadway show his wife has expressed interest in, etc. Not every CEO I've come across drinks, so that is something to consider. Some places, such as the brokerage firm I worked with had compliance restrictions with receiving gifts over a certain value. Again this isn't for everybody, so use discernment based on what you know.

 

Not a bad idea, I don't think. I'm going through withdrawal, so no ideas for ya
