Gift for a colleague or the boss: elegant ideas

For a colleague or your boss, the right gift is elegant but not too personal: a candle, a quality soap, or a hand cream to keep at the office. Perfume, on the other hand, is an intimate gift: it's better to leave it to someone who knows them well, or turn it into a gift card.

Ideas that work

• A candle with a soft scent, such as La Difesa by Parco 1923.
• A soap from Savonneries Bruxelloises, such as Black Roses or Red Wine: a little luxury that everyone enjoys.
• A hand and body cream, such as the Nutrient Cream by Parco 1923, to keep on your desk.
• A gift card, for your boss or as a group gift: the Christmas gift card arrives by email.

The group gift

If the gift is from the whole office, you can opt for a more important home item, such as a Trudon candle with its bell: we talk about it in the history of Trudon.

What to avoid

• A perfume chosen blindly: it's too personal.
• Products for a skin problem: they can be misunderstood.
• Candles with very intense scents, if you don't know their tastes.

Frequently asked questions

Can you give a perfume to a colleague?

Only if you know their tastes well. Otherwise, a candle, a soap, or a gift card is better.

What to give your boss for Christmas?

Something elegant and neutral: a designer candle, a home set, or a gift card, perhaps from the whole office.
