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."

Nevada Police Official Who Taught Policing Classes Fired After He's Caught On Video Calling Cop Gay Slur During Traffic Stop

One of Nevada's top cops—who provided training for law enforcement across the state—gave a master class in how not to act during a traffic stop when he was pulled over for distracted driving in a state vehicle on August 18.

Chief investigator for the office of Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford, William Scott Jr.—a retired Las Vegas Metro Police Department (LVMPD) captain—did almost everything a person shouldn't do: arguing, name dropping, threatening retaliation, getting out of his vehicle to confront the traffic officer, and verbally berating and mocking the officer while using a homophobic slur.

AOC Hilariously Reacts After Fox News Makes Stephen Miller Watch Her Brutal Takedown Of Him

After New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller during an Instagram livesteam, Fox News played the video for Miller, only for Ocasio-Cortez to laugh at the awkwardness of it all in her follow-up response.

During her livestream, Ocasio-Cortez said “one of the best ways that you can dismantle a movement of insecure men is by making fun of them," urging her followers to mock MAGA men. She then called Miller "a clown" and suggested he—the architect of President Donald Trump's immigration policies—takes out his anger on others because he's "like, 4 feet 10 inches."
