Boss' Day 2017: Top 5 Easy Gift Ideas for National Boss Day

Boss' Day 2017: Top 5 Easy Gift Ideas for National Boss Day

October 16 is Boss' Day, also called "National Boss Day." If you are inspired and motivated by your boss, here are unique gift ideas to show appreciation.

Boss' Day was started in 1958 by Patricia Bays Haroski while she was working as a secretary for State Farm Insurance Company in Deerfield, Illinois, under her father. She chose October 16 for the date because it was also her father's birthday. She designed the day to recognize the hard work that bosses do and to strengthen the bond between employer and employee. According to Calendar Updates, Haroski also "believed young employees often do not realize the challenges bosses face in running a business." Time And Date writes adds, "Four years later in 1962, Illinois Governor Otto Kerner backed Haroski's registration and officially proclaimed the day. "

According to the Reading Eagle, the Hallmark greeting card company helped push the holiday into international recognition in 1979, and now it is observed in not only the United States but also countries like Australia and South Africa. In 2007, Hallmark company spokesperson said that they increased National Boss' Day production by 90%. She adds that the most popular Boss' Day are the humorous ones, and the best route to go for employees wanting to recognize their boss' hard work is "light and impersonal."

Here are some of the best National Boss' Day gift ideas with Amazon links to purchase.

Sorbo gripes about Vikings cheerleaders
