Question re work etiquette (office, best, corporation, people)

[chilaili]

Is it creepy for me to get my boss (a really great guy) and his really nice wife something for their 10-year anniversary coming up this year? Or would that be inappropriate?

Ideas include
10th Anniversary Traditional Gift: Tin or aluminum. The pliability of tin and aluminum is a symbol of how a successful marriage needs to be flexible and durable and how it can be bent without being broken.

10th Anniversary Flower: Daffodil. Trumpet-shaped daffodils represent joy, cheerfulness, and happiness.

Depends on your relationship with your boss. Are you guys close? Then no, it wouldn't be creepy. Also, it depends on the work environment. If you're part of a small staff that's pretty close it wouldn't be a big deal at all, but if you work at a larger office or corporation it could be inappropriate.

I think I pretty much agree with this. Unless you are close friends, I wouldn't think of anything more than a card--and probably a card signed by the office staff at that.

This. Unless you just want to be tagged as a suck-up.

Even a card to me is creepy unless you are very good friends with your boss.

I think a gift from the people you work with together is the best answer for this, but even then I would be cautious. Probably better not to give a gift.
