A classic steel click pen that survives life in a scrubs pocket. It's a small, smart gift for a new doctor.
The Glencairn glass is the tasting glass used across the Scotch whisky industry. Its tulip shape gathers the aroma towards the nose, so they'll get more from every dram than from a tumbler.
A zip pouch with slots for chargers, cables and a power bank, so they stop rummaging for leads. The compact size fits in a day bag.
Moleskine's Classic notebook has a hard black cover, rounded corners and an elastic band to keep it shut. This is the large 13 by 21cm ruled version, with ivory acid-free paper, a ribbon bookmark and a pocket in the back.
Bullet journal fans love the Leuchtturm1917 because it's set up for planning. The pages are numbered, there's a blank contents page at the front, two ribbon markers, a back pocket and stickers for labelling the spine. The dotted grid suits lists, sketches and writing alike.
A brick-built bonsai tree that you can set up with green leaves or pink blossom. It is a calm desk or shelf model.
Two Glencairn nosing glasses in a presentation box. The tulip shape is the standard whisky tasting glass.
A desk stand that charges an iPhone and AirPods at the same time with Qi2 magnetic charging. It tilts the phone upright for use at a desk.
A folding charging stand that charges an iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods from one plug. It packs flat for travel.
A glass-style paperweight with a calendar that works for 50 years. It sits on a desk as a small ornament.

A boxed trio of Molton Brown bath and shower gels in woody and aromatic scents.
A gift card for Virgin Experience Days that the recipient spends on activities, spa days and meals.
The best gifts for your boss are professional, not personal. A good pen, a notebook or a pair of whisky glasses are safe choices that fit most offices. Keep the cost modest and ideally agree it with colleagues so the gift can come from the team. Check company gift policies before spending much.
We picked each product for what your boss enjoy and because it makes sense as a present. The order is our own choice. The pros and cons come from published product details, not customer reviews.
