This always reminds us of Captain Holt bouncing off an exercise ball in Terry’s house in Brooklyn 99.

When your CEO is fit and healthy, they’ll be able to give their best to the organization.

When someone uses their special talents to create or handcraft a gift, the sentimental element of the gift is amplified, and there is no more unique gift than one that was made especially for the receiver. If you are an artist, you can draw their portrait, frame it, and gift it to your boss.
Those who are good with knitting can weave a sweater or a scarf with their boss’ initials and gift it to them. If you are a baker, gift them some warm muffins or cookies, or if you are good with crafts, make a personalized desk organizer, leather cord roll, fabric coasters, etc. The sky's the limit!
1.6.3. Artwork with Everyone’s Contribution
Sometimes simple gestures go a long way in creating a unique gift for a CEO. Grab a large piece of cardboard, have everyone in the team or office add their handprints or write a few words and sign it, decorate the board, and gift it. Your boss wouldn’t want to keep it anywhere apart from his desk.
1.6.4.Be a Hobby Enabler
We all have faced this – grew out of our passions and hobbies as we climb up the ladder due to lack of time. Find out what your boss is passionate about – photography, gardening, cooking, yoga, dancing, musical instruments – Identify the best classes and enroll them. If they are already good at it, find opportunities that will help them pursue it further. Be the gentle push that they need.
1.6.5. Party Weekend
Your CEOs have likely taken you out on the town for a fun night. Return the favor by pooling funds from your colleagues and treating them to a night out.

1.7.3. Pamper Me Kits
Everyone deserves soothing self-care-time once in a while, especially managers and leaders who tend to ignore it the most. Do them a favor and present a home spa kit as a gift for the boss lady, and she will forever thank you every time she re-emerges from the bath rejuvenated. We especially like this 10-piece set of jasmine and lavender scented bath items.
1.7.4. Hand Cream Gift Set
A couple of us were prescribed BY THE DOCTOR to use hand cream regularly because all the hand sanitizer use had caused cracks and the nails to become very brittle. Also, the nightly ritual of applying hand cream is known to calm the nerves, alleviate anxiety, and unclog mental pores. We like this hand cream gift set as an excellent gift for the boss lady as it includes 8 fruit & flower-scented hand cream, one-foot cream, and one lip balm.
