Seeking Unique Birthday Gift Ideas for Our Jovial CEO – What Would You Suggest?

Dear Seniors, in a few weeks' time, we are celebrating the CEO's birthday, and all of us are planning to give him a gift or gifts. He is a very jovial person, and we want to give him something that will be worth remembering. He already has trophies, cards, gold gifts, silver gifts, flower baskets, a flower vase, a desktop calendar, pen stands, and wall clocks in his cabin. Something other than these will be greatly appreciated.

Inputs, please!!!

Thanks! Swetha Shenoy

You guys can buy large-sized kraft papers or KG cardboard papers, wish him on his milestone, and have all of you autograph the greetings. Also, assure him of your best cooperation and contribution in the years to come. Maybe you can try something like a mega greeting card signed by you all and aim for the Limca Book of Records as well! This kind of gift will be cherished by him in the years to come. A boss always wants trouble-free, cooperative, performing employees!

Dear Shwetha, I would suggest a gift like a 'chocolate bouquet' for you. Actually, you won't find it outside, but there's an entrepreneur who supplies this to corporates on various occasions. This gift would be something different and pleasing.

Also, you could gift him a coffee mug/calendar with a photograph(s) of the entire staff. You can get this at a digital photoshop shop that provides this facility.

Shwetha, meet his wife and collect all his childhood and teenage photos (e.g., his school photos, college photos, photos with his friends, his wedding photos, office photos) and put those in a big chart or get them framed. Present it to him; he would be thrilled. Also, invite his wife to the office during the cake-cutting ceremony and make it a surprise for your CEO. He will never forget this birthday!!

Hi, you can gift him a greeting card with the signatures of all employees, a small desktop bamboo tree, and a wooden pen with his name on it.

You can gift him a greeting card with the signatures of all employees and arrange a one-day picnic with his wife and/or children. He would be happy as these people may not find enough time for their families.

Gift Idea for CEO's Birthday

If you have a good-quality group photo of the team with the CEO, consider enlarging it and getting it framed nicely. Ensure the photo is of excellent quality to enlarge and frame. It should complement your CEO's office decor and taste.

Recently, I too had such an occasion. What I did was enlarge his photo, get it framed, get a cake, distribute one lunch pack to all staff. As usual, flowers were given by the ladies and girls, and we took one group photo. We distributed them free to all staff, and so it was a small-time but quality time. They shall see the frame at their house and remember it throughout the years, at least up to the next celebration.

You could collect his passport-sized picture and have his portrait done by an artist. You can then frame it and gift it if you are keen on a material gift. I would also suggest what Babsi has recommended. However, I feel that if you all together wish him cheerfully and invite his spouse for a cake-cutting ceremony, that would equally be a great gift.

Dear All,

Thank you so much for your suggestions; some of them were valuable, and a few were hilarious. It turns out that our CEO will be out of town for two weeks, and it is really disappointing that we will miss him on his birthday. 

One of my gifts was for him as he is a nature lover, so I planned to gift him a table plant where he can grow the plant by watering it every day—a short and natural gift.

Well, otherwise, I really thank all of you for your suggestions!

Take care,

Swetha Shenoy

Dear Swetha, You would have already had photographs of several occasions where your CEO interacted with you, your teammates, or your department associates, other department associates, management meetings, interactions with guests, and likewise many other events and occasions. Collect those photographs, choose the best ones, and make a collage in a large frame (all in one frame of A3 size) and present it with a bouquet and a small, tiny synthetic cake with the year of celebrations. These moments will be cherished whenever he sees it on his table in the office or at home.

Thanking you in advance...

Even CEOs appreciate materialistic things if they are really good. Show some creativity, guys. Shweta, gift him a wall painting or a sketch of his own drawn by a good artist. Cheers.
