The worst gifts to give your boss

Of course, there are plenty of things you probably know not to wrap up for your boss. However, if your gifting conscience is not that strong, keep in mind that anything of the religious, political, or X-rated nature falls into this category, per ResourcefulManager. A great rule regarding things to remove from your list of potential gifts is anything meant to touch the recipient’s body. We know –- this sounds strange, but this can help you add things to the no-go list that you might otherwise think are good choices. For example, stay away from clothes, jewelry, lotions, and even perfume and cologne.
Keep alcohol-related gifts out of the equation and, of course, anything that could be considered too personal (via USA Today). You should also be sure to give the gift to your boss in person or have it sent to their office if you’re located elsewhere — sending something to your boss’ house is a big no-no.

Whatever you choose to gift your boss this year, remember that it’s better to be safe than sorry. You’d rather give your boss a gift basket than end up in an awkward situation.
