Any gift idea for welcoming my friend to Canada & my boss for thank you?

I was thinking of some lovely native gifts that could be small enough to pack. Canada has been blessed with beautiful Inuit art and sculpture. Depending on where you live, you can visit a local craft shop that specializes in such gifts. In Quebec, we have beautiful hand painted scarves, woodcrafts, handwoven items and pottery. If you want something to consume, there are the maple syrup products, Laura Secord chocolates, Canadian wines (some good ones are available), baked beans,\nPacific or Atlantic salmon, lobster, freshwater trout. Lookk for\nHudson's Bay products and the beautiful Seagull pewter from Nova Scotia. Canadian picture books, small wildlife figurines, homemade items from craft shops like jams and soap and candles. There are even bags of chocolate moose or deer droppings, packets of Canadian wildflower seeds.\nAny of the above might be appropriate for your boss as well. You'll be buying Canadian and sometimes, we just don't appreciate the unique and beautiful products of our Canadian artisans. Hope this helps.

Take he/she out to a nice restaurant or if it is a nice day, how about a picnic. A nice card with a special message inside saying how much you have enjoyed their company and maybe write about what you both could look forward to. Like going to the beach, hiking, etc.. Hope I was helpful..

I would give her some luggage with a little note:  "Now that you have your wings, celebrate with flight."  If you have the money, perhaps you could get a deal on a ticket somewhere where she could go for a short vacation.  You could go, too!!\n\nBest wishes for both of you!!\n\nCosmicKelly :)

do NOT give gifts of thanks for your promotion. you EARNED what you got. i know you must feel thankful and all that but they do not expect a gift and its not even really appropriate .the best "gift" you can give them is to continue to do your best and show them you deserve it!

What a kind thought! I'm very proud of you for considering it. Most people wouldn't...or I hope they would.....\nI would suggest a gift certificate to her favourite restaurant or shopping place. You might invite her out for a nice dinner also on the evening before you leave. She is being very kind and you, in turn, are kind to consider that.

The suggestions that are here are great ones.\n\nI'd like to add the following:\n\n--- Season tickets to a favorite sporting team.\n\n--- Gift card to music store\n\n--- Leather Jacket\n\n--- Get a free pass to a good movie theater....say 20 movies or whatever you deem appropriate.\n\n--- Good set of headphones\n\n--- Does he have a car? Is it a decent car? How about going some place that details cars and arrange to have his done....inside and out.\n\n--- How about some kind of gift certificate at his favorite pizza place?\n\n--- How about tickets to a good amusement park, or water park?\n\n--- A new suit? \n\n--- New shoes?\n\nThose are just a few thoughts. I know some of those are pricey, but I'm just throwing ideas at you.\n\nAnd while you're at it.....I'm a large.\n\n;)

Gift certificates to their favorite restaurant

I would offer them some coffee, tea or soda as peace making gesture.Of course you will want to spike it with ex lax or lobelia, either one will keep them occupied and out of the office enough, that you won't have to put up with their crap.An added plus is you will shine as the employee who is always there getting the job done.

A great idea for a personal and unique gift is a handmade painting made from a photo that you send.\n\nCheck out this site: www.paintyourlife.com\n\nThe prices are reasonable and the outcome is amazing.

How about an I.O.U. for the gift you're going to give him when he gets home? ;)

Here are some ideas:\n\nUse newspaper wrapped around a box with different colored, bright ribbons.\n\nIf you can get a hold of a wooden crate stamped with a meat plant or restaurant logo, that would be cute to pack the knives with some rafia tied around it.\n\nDecorate a canvas tote bag and stuff it with a sweater - two gifts in one!\n\nIf the knives are not already packaged, you could order a silver knife box online and have it engraved at a local trophy/awards shop.\n\nPut the sweater on a hug teddy bear and place him under the tree. Pin the card to the bear/sweater/bow and place the gift receipt inside so they will know that the sweater is the gift and the bear is a bonus.

You could take out a classified ad in USA Today, that would \nreach many people. Perhaps an advertisement on CNN, worldwide coverage there. Time magazine, People, Peking News,\nlots of possibilities.\n\nAs far as a gift, he has you.....what more could he want.\n\nGood luck to you both.

This friend obviously shares a special connection with you, but the focus of a wedding present should be the couple in question. This gift isn't the time to express your gratitude, that should wait for another moment the two of you can share. If this person has helped you alot, take time out to honor this separately like with a dinner, balloons, or flowers with thank-you gift certificates. For a wedding present, try to think of something the two of them can share or won't realize they need until later. Spa treatments together are wonderful and come in different price ranges; I found that my favorite wedding gift was a good set of sharpened (not serated)kitchen knives; or you can be inventive and give them a special plant cutting or "wedding tree" for their garden.Good Luck:)

Maybe you all could get a pic of the group waving goodbye and put some saying or quote on the bottom of it, frame it and give it to her. Good luck w/the new boss.
