Boss Birthday Gift - Help?

[MrsMB]

Shoot. Her Birthday is the 10th and I completely forgot. She's out tomorrow and Monday.

I have a Walgreens nearby. Any gift ideas for something quick I can go get?

That's quite a time crunch! Is there any chance you can give her a gift on Tuesday so that you have time over the weekend?

If Walgreens was my only option, I would pick up a card and put together a small gift basket with some combination of candles, picture frames, a nice coffee mug, and/or fancy candy and hope for the best.

[MrsMB]

Yes, I knew it was coming up as it's in October. But because it's on the weekend, so it didn't show up on my Outlook calendar. I've got to put myself a reminder for next year during the week.

You're so nice, it would never occur to me to buy my boss a birthday present

They might have a fancy journal/pen set or 2016 planner (might be a long shot). Maybe that would work?

Does your Walgreens sell gift cards for other retailers? Perhaps pick one of those up and a nice card?

[MrsMB]

Yeah, I'm thinking a gift card or something. I can probably go later today and grab one. She had gotten me a gift card for mine so that wouldn't be that far fetched.

Unrelated but my team has been figuring out our gift for boss's day next week. Half the time my response is "Uhhh...when is under appreciated employee's day?"

Flowers and a Starbucks gift card.
