First impressions matter, which is why they should be pulling out business cards from a handsome leather case. It has a no-fuss, invisible magnetic closure and can hold up to 20 cards. Choose from pebbled or smooth leathers in a variety of colors, or upgrade to a premium leather. You can also add a monogram for an additional $10.

5. A delicious and unique food gift

Mix and match jars of fig preserves, triple berry preserves, apple butter, pumpkin butter, and more to create a sweet breakfast starter kit. The size is also perfect for their desk if they ever want a small and sweet afternoon pick-me-up.

This portable cable charges up Apple devices quickly and claims to be six times stronger than the standard lightning cable, boasting a 10,000-bend lifespan. The knotted cable also looks great and makes it easy to fish out the charger from their bag, cites business insider.

7. Best Heated Foot Massager: Gideon Quilted Shiatsu Foot Massager

Does your boss constantly complain that their feet are cold? If yes, then get them the Gideon Quilted Shiatsu Foot Massager to keep their feet feeling toasty. They can also simultaneously set it to massage to work the kinks out of their ankles and toes.

They can even remove the top foot muff and use the massager on their back, shoulders or even her legs. It measures about 12 x 12 inches wide and it has eight little built-in nodes that gently rotate to relax knotted muscles. Users claim the nodes feel just like a masseuse’s fingers.

8. Best Brewer: Coffee Gator Pour Over Brewer

Don’t make your boss walk into the kitchen every time they need another hit of caffeine. The Coffee Gator Brewer is the pour-over variety, which makes it suitable for their desk. And pour-over brews are known to be smooth as silk, so you’re not just giving her coffee. You’re giving her good coffee.

The Osaka Brewer includes a surgical grade stainless steel filter, so they won’t have to keep buying the paper variety to keep it going mug after mug. The carafe is made of borosilicate glass, which prevents months and years of coffee from penetrating and imparting a bitter taste after a lot of use.
