Upward gifting is a minefield with a simple map: keep it professional, modest, and ideally from the whole team. A quality desk item, an elegant notebook, premium tea or chocolate, flowers for a milestone — all safe. Individually gifting your manager something expensive or personal (jewelry, fragrance, anything intimate) creates awkwardness in both directions.
