Question

When leaving a job, a good thank-you gift for a boss is personalized to your boss's specific likes and dislikes. It also does not need to be super extravagant. Sometimes, a simple hand-written note can be meaningful and is a budget-friendly option.

If you are looking for a specific gift, look for something that meets your boss's interests and fits your budget.

For example, you could get them something related to something they love, like if they enjoy knitting, you can get them nice supplies. If they are big into food, you can buy them a kitchen item or a gift card to a nice restaurant.

You could also just buy them something simple like a Starbucks gift card, some cookies, or anything small. A thank you gift does not need to be huge to show appreciation. Your boss should appreciate your effort to think about what works best for them.
