46 gifts to get the boss who has everything

My boss is usually on his fourth cup of Dunkin black coffee by 2 P.M. If your boss is anything like him, give them the upgrade they deserve with a surprisingly affordable French press "The filter does a great job of forming a seal and filtering out coarse coffee grounds," writes freelancer Owen Burke.

If they spend long hours at their desk, this footrest can help improve circulation. Its high-quality foam and two-piece adjustable design let them choose the height that feels best, easing pressure on the legs and lower back while encouraging better posture and overall comfort. The non-slip base keeps it steady, while the zip-off cover makes cleaning easy.

Whether they're curious about their distant surroundings or simply nosy, this handy tool let's them get a closer look. When we tested the Nocs Zoom Tube, it was easy to travel with thanks to its lightweight design and complimentary protective sleeve. It's also water resistant and was comfortable to use even with sunglasses on.

Bosses spend so much of their day bouncing between meetings and emails that staying hydrated can be surprisingly difficult. A tumbler like the Stanley Quencher H2.0 keeps water cold for hours, so it's ready whenever they finally get a breather—and it works just as well for hot drinks like coffee or tea. The sturdy handle and rotating lid make it easy to carry from room to room, and it comes in a slew of fun colors so you can match it to their style.

Although it may seem trivial, a small desk game can serve as a welcome break during long workdays, and this mini golf set doubles as a trio of pens your boss can actually use. The "clubs" are real pens, and the tiny putting green is a quick way to take a breather between tasks. All in all, an excellent pick for bosses who appreciate a touch of humor.

Comfier Wireless Hand Massager with Heat

"The hand massager has beads that compress around the pressure points in my palm," writes senior associate editor Gabrielle Chase.

"I've used it at work, and I always take it with me when I travel to use as a bedside fan in a pinch. That way, I never have to worry about whether the sleeping accommodations will be as frosty as I prefer."

"Its signature GelFlex Grid design makes sitting at a desk all day a lot more comfortable and even helps me to maintain my posture. (This is the same stuff the brand uses on its mattresses to relieve pressure on your back.) It's also very breathable, and it comes with a washable cover in case you spill anything."

Dagne Dover Seoul Dopp Kit

Dagne Dover's durable and quick-drying neoprene is most notably featured in the brand's popular backpacks and gym bags, but it's also well-suited for this small bag that organizes your boss's travel toiletries while they're on the go.

"My favorite space-saving feature is the gusset pockets located on both sides of the bag. Above, you can see one of these pockets stuffed with tampons on one end. Containing items this way allows them to bulge outward rather than take up internal room, saving so much space," writes style editor Samantha Crozier.
