How much to spend on a gift for a boss who's leaving?
This can be a tricky one because you want to show your appreciation for all they've done, but you don't want to break the bank. So, how much should you spend? Well, it depends on your budget and your relationship with your boss. If you're close with them and they've had a big impact on your career, you might want to spend a little more. But, if you're not that close, a heartfelt card and a small gift like a nice pen or notebook should do the trick. So budget wise you could be looking at anything from $20 to $100. Usually, you might settle around the $40 mark as this would cover a nice gift basket, floral arrangement, couple of bottles of wine.
In many cases you may be lucky and the gift will be one where everyone in the office chips in to get the boss something with a value you couldn't afford or wouldn't want to spend yourself! Usually, the person who organizes the gift determines how much each person should contribute. It can be anything from $10 (£10) to $40 (£40) ! It might be more if the office is small as then each person might need to contribute more. if you're forking out for the gift on your own, check out our thoughts on boss leaving gifts and the budget!
