HELP!!! Need Christmas gift ideas for my boss!!

So I just recently started a new job and every year my new company pools money together to get the President of the company a Christmas gift. They also make the new guy at the company pick it out. So, I have no idea what his interests are only that he's a Cub's fan. Oh, and I have $350 to spend on him.

Any ideas? I really need some help1!

Get him a gift card to somewhere, it's hard to go wrong with that. :)

Get a very nice and very expensive bottle of brandy or something.

but make sure he drinks before you do that..

hmmmm, I'll have to check and see if he drinks, maybe some Johnny Walker blue label. I don't think anyone has gotten him a gift card before, I think they're looking to get him an actual present. Also, while the Axim would be a wonderful idea, I'm not planning on putting any more than the $10 of my money into it.

Thanks for the responses, any more?

get him a wall poster of a cubs stadium or a shot of "whatever" year team. and get a surround where all the employees can sign and make wishes or whatever.

and it's not that much so with the left over you can then buy him some alochol(sp)

Johnny Walker! JOHNNY WALKER! Lets have no more talk of blends. This site is only for the purist. You need a single malt, such as Talisker or Lagavulin if you want to make an impression. Follow the link below into whisky heaven.

Long live Scottish Whisky!

Send a memo out from the boss' desk giving everyone an extra day off for the holidays! :approve:

Everyone will love 'n hug the boss, showering him with compliments!
The boss'll be everyones' hero during this holiday season!

Do not admit to anyone you sent the memo out. That would be the boss' downfall.

The boss'll never admit "HE" didn't send the memo, after all the :love: he feels!

Then purchase some single malt for yourself and enjoy the extra day off too!

Makes perfect sense!

a zune is a good idea I think, I'm not sure how technologically savvy he is though. I'm frustrated now though, I was told to ask a few of the other new people here for ideas and they have none either. Oh, and I've got to get my hands on some single malt scotch, for love of my Scottish ancestry at the very least.
