6 Amazing Boss’s Day Ideas To Show Your Appreciation

If you have worked with a horrible boss before, you would agree that having a fantastic boss is an underrated privilege. Bosses who not only believe in you but also inspires and support you deserve to be celebrated. These Boss’s Day ideas would help you show gratitude to the fantastic bosses around you. 

But first, what is National Boss’s Day, and how did we get here?

In 1958, Patricia Haroski, who worked as a secretary for State Farm Insurance Company in Deerfield, Illinois, registered October 16th as National Boss Day. She chose this date because it was her father’s birthday, and at the time, he was also her employer.

Four years later, in 1962, Otto Kerner, the Illinois Governor at the time, backed Haroski’s registration and officially proclaimed National Boss’s day. Although the day is not observed as a federal holiday or non-working day, it is still a public holiday,

This day has been set aside for employees to show their appreciation to well-deserving bosses, supervisors, and leaders. It also is a perfect opportunity to foster an employee-employer relationship in the workplace.

Here are 6 great ways to show appreciation towards your boss or supervisor on Boss’s Day:

Create a Group Firacard

Passing a paper card around the office may be time-consuming and ruin the surprise altogether. But one unique way to celebrate Boss’s Day is to create a group Boss Appreciation Day Firacard for your boss. The beautiful thing about it is that everyone can add heartfelt messages, fun gifs, and photos of memorable moments to melt your boss’s heart.

Because a video is more touching and personal, you can also team record short thank-you videos and add them to the Firacard you have created. Don’t forget to use beautiful backgrounds that your boss would love. 

Once the Boss Appreciation Firacard is ready, you can either play it as a slideshow in the office or have it delivered to your boss on Boss’s Day. Undoubtedly, your boss will look back fondly at this Firacard and thank you for being amazing.

Organize After-Work Celebrations

Your boss works hard almost every day of the week, and one thoughtful way to help them de-stress is by organizing an after-work celebration. For example, you can visit a nearby park for a picnic while everyone brings a dish. 

Besides, who says you can’t invite the team over for dinner or a game night packed with activities that your boss would love?

The rest of your colleagues can also use this time to relax, bond, mingle, and get to know each other outside the workplace. 

Give a Gift

Gifts are a great way to show that you are genuinely grateful for having such a sweet boss. Your team can pool funds together to buy a group gift, or you can buy a unique gift for your boss. Whichever way, think about your boss’s hobbies and personalities and make it personal to them.

Dress Like Your Boss

If your boss is open to humor, pranks, and a good laugh, one of the most entertaining ways to make their day is by playing dress up. Show up in the office in similar outfits your boss loves to wear. Sounds like fun, right?

World Best Boss Merch

“World’s Best Boss” mementos can be cheesy, but they are a quirky and fun way to celebrate your boss. You can customize a mug, a notepad, or a T-shirt saying “The World’s Best Boss.”

Conclusion…

Recognizing your boss on this day would go a long way. Every little sincere gesture counts. From saying “Happy Bosses Day” as you walk past your boss in the hallway to dropping a “thanks for everything you do” note on his work desk. However you decide to celebrate Boss’s Day, always remember to have fun and be creative.
