Most people can name one manager who changed how they work. Not the loudest one, and rarely the one with the biggest title, but the one who gave them something hard and then backed them up. This ceramic keepsake says it: "Great Leaders Inspire Greatness in Others. Thank You."
Glossy ceramic with a permanently fused graphic under a glossy glaze, made to keep. Holiday thank yous, a manager's promotion, the end of a hard year: this is the one.
Why You'll Love It
- "Great Leaders Inspire Greatness in Others. Thank You" - sincere, not sucking up

- Heart shaped, 2.875" across - modest enough that it will not embarrass anyone
- Sits on an office shelf as easily as it hangs on a tree at home
- A thank you that reappears every December instead of being read once
- Designed and hand pressed in the USA
Perfect Gift For
Holiday thank yous, a manager's promotion, National Boss's Day, the end of a brutal quarter, a mentor changing companies, a department gift, and the leader who took the blame that one time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a good Christmas gift for a boss you actually like?
A: A gift for a manager should be modest, sincere and easy to accept in front of other people, which rules out anything expensive or personal. A small keepsake with a thank you on it does all three.
Q: Is it appropriate to give your boss a gift at the holidays?
A: Giving up the chain of command is fine when the gift is inexpensive and the sentiment is professional rather than personal. Trouble only starts when the price tag turns it into an obligation.
Q: What do you give a manager who is leaving or being promoted?
A: Mark what they did for the team rather than where they are going next, since the promotion already speaks for itself. A keepsake keeps that message long after the goodbye email.
Q: How much should you spend on a gift for your boss?
A: Keep it small on purpose, because an expensive gift to a manager reads as awkward at best and calculating at worst. Under twenty dollars is comfortable.
Q: Can a whole department go in on one gift for a manager?
A: A group gift solves the awkwardness entirely, since it comes from the team rather than from anyone angling for a review. One keepsake plus a card everyone signs is plenty.
Q: How do I keep this looking new year after year?
A: Wipe it with a soft dry cloth and store it wrapped in tissue so nothing presses against the face of it. The fused graphic does the rest on its own.
