What are y'all doing for your bosses next week?

Mine will be on vacation, but I want to surprise her when she gets back.

But with what? Flowers, lunch, a gift basket?

Suggestions, please.

What I should get the man that forgot admin day- NOTHING

What did I get him? Some loose tea and a loose tea travel mug and a smart azzed card

Well, luckily there is no "magazine layout person/staff writer's day" for her to forget. She's a good boss. I want to get her something nice. Usually my co-worker and I go in on something, but she gave her HER present today before her vacation.

Hmmm...Lets see, you're in Tennessee? How about tickets to the Grand Ole Opry? Maybe dinner as well?

It'd be a nice thought if I weren't the only person in the office who likes country music.

I am thinking maybe dinner. She mentioned that she and her husband liked a certain restaurant the other day...

Lulu, what does she like? I love chocolate so a box of chocolates that I wouldn't buy myself is a great idea - this site has amazing chocolates - I love the fleur de something carmels. These chocolates are beautiful and delicious http://www.recchiuti.com/index.html

I also love good loose tea - try www.teavana.com.

My boss is a real BIATCH... I hate she stares back at me in the mirror every morning.

I am thinking either a coffee gift box or a Starbucks gift card. But I got her a Starbucks card for her birthday... She does love chocolate and coffee.

She also loves wine. Hmmm... maybe I could get her a nice bottle of wine.

Have Ruth send you a lb of the Voodoo coffee - it's a unique gift and it's only $20. If she loves Starbucks, she'll love that!

I have an idea...Nancy_B just posted that she's going to Napa soon...Ask her to send your boss a case of wine from the Valley.

Now, we could almost combine these two new threads!

Unfortunately, you can't ship wine to Tennessee, because I was totally thinking something along that route.

Ordering something from Ruth isn't a bad idea at all. It might take a little while to get here, but she won't be here on Bosses' Day anyhow!

Personally, I hate all these special "days". Who comes up with them, anyway? It's just another subversive plot to get us to buy stuff we don't need so we can give it to someone else to add to their stuff they don't need.

But, I'd go with the dinner idea. Food's always a good choice in my book.

Lulu, you'd be surprised at how quickly Ruth's shipments arrive. I usually receive them within 3-4 days. I'm sure she'll appreciate whatever you give her.

Lulu - A pound of "Kiss of the Jumbie" coffee from Ruth will satisfy both the coffee AND chocolate issues!

And for sure it's nothing she could buy for herself!

Boss's day is particularly ridiculous. The reward for being the boss is, well, being the boss. On top of getting to boss people around, you get a present?
