The Hardest Gift to Find
A Christmas gift for the boss is one of the most challenging social negotiations in working life. Too little and it looks disinterested. Too much and it can be misread. Too personal and it is awkward. Too impersonal and it is meaningless. There is one answer that always strikes the right note: something of timeless quality, useful in everyday life, not too cheap — but not too expensive either.
Royal Selangor meets all of these criteria. These are gifts with cultural weight and a tradition of craftsmanship behind them — and it shows, without shouting about it.
Gifts That Work for the Boss
Credit Card Wallet Ace2 — NOK 1,099
A pewter card wallet is almost always right as a gift for a manager. Useful, discreetly exclusive and shows taste without overstepping boundaries.
Impression Hip Flask SM — NOK 1,780
For the boss who travels a lot or appreciates a good drink — a pewter hip flask signals that the giver knows the person. Can be engraved with the boss's initials and "From the team — Christmas 2026".
Desk Tray — NOK 1,549
A desk tray that sits visible for years. For the boss who spends time at a desk — a product that organises daily life and looks impressive. Can be engraved with the boss's initials from the team.
Tip: Give from the Team, Not Just You
A gift for the boss works best when it comes from the whole team — it is easier to justify a higher budget, and the gift feels more meaningful. A Royal Selangor gift from four or five colleagues is an investment of around NOK 400–500 per person for something that rarely reaches that level of quality.
