How to choose
Keep it professional. Engraved pens and desk calendars suit almost any boss and stay on the desk long after the occasion.
Match the tone of your office: the Boss or Midnight Boss pens for a sincere thank you, the Wisecracks calendar or Chaos Coordinator pens for a boss who likes a joke, and the Stoic Daily Calendar for a reader.
For a gift from the whole team, pick one set and sign the card together.
