Gifts that Men Like

generally speaking:

a. Car-related gifts and non-ricey accessories (e.g. garmin, etc.)
b. Watch
c. Shoes
d. Cologne, perfume or personal hygiene products
e. Polos/shirts
f. Gadgets
g. Fine pen (like parker, cross)

avoid giving underwear. iba ang iniisip ng lalake pag binigyan mo kami ng underwear. and personal products like hankies and socks.
imho. ties are already not in. seldom do we wear that anymore dahil pwede na namang business attire ang shirt and coat na walang tie.... mainit eh.

to summarize, nasa pagbibigyan yan. since your boss is a football fan, try to give him something football related like jerseys, an actual signed football, a memorabilia, trading cards, his favorite team item, etc.

what about a paperweight or other office object, in the shape of a football shoe or helmet, or other similar football-themed object...

boss nya eh.....hehehehe. baka parang simon and leah yan.
dapat maintain professionalism.

although ako personally, i do not want my staff to give me gifts... baka isipin porke binigyan ako ng this or that, merong favor na kapalit sa work. at the same time, di rin naman ako nagbibigay ng gifts sa boss ko dahil baka sabihin humihingi ako ng favor and ma label ako na sipsip. alam nyo naman how office politics goes.

kung may boss - subordinate relationship, a simple happy birthday greeting will be sufficient, imho.

Yup that's why I don't want anything too personal. I owe a LOT to my boss so a small token is the least that I could do for his birthday. But since he is in HQ now, it should be something I could buy in Amazon hehe.
