A year-end gift for a CEO or boss in Uganda is really two different gifts. When the team gives, it is one gift paid for together, with one card signed by everyone. When the company gives, it comes from the board chair or the owners, with a personal card. Keep them separate, choose something the person will use, and for a team gift agree the contribution per person before anyone shops.
The team's gift
One gift, one card, everyone signs. A team gift works when it is clearly from all of you. One person collects contributions, one person orders, and the card goes round the office before delivery.
Is it okay for staff to gift the boss? At year end, a modest gift from the whole team is usually fine. What can feel awkward is an expensive gift from one person, or pressure on junior staff to contribute. Make contributions voluntary and keep the total sensible.
The company's gift
This one comes from the board chair, the owners or the head of the group. It sits in the executive tier and is delivered to the office or home, with a card that names the year's work. See executive gifts and our guide to executive corporate gifts.
