Souvenir for Male Boss?

[sdomino11]

My DH feels a bit as though he's leaving his boss in the lurch because of the long duration of our upcoming trip. We want to get him a souvenir to thank him for picking up the slack during my DHs absence. We don't usually spend much time wandering the shops, though. So I thought someone here might have a good suggestion for a souvenir (and which shop to find it in) for an adult male for under $50. We'll be at the 4 parks and Disney Springs. Thanks!

When I buy work gifts (though I usually just bring something back for the whole office, not for a specific person), I go for consumables. It's hard to judge what someone will actually want, but most people like cookies and those who don't can offload them easily. I'd go for something Disney-specific, like the Mickey shortbreads or a package of candy.

I'd look for something from the business section, like a Mickey padfolio or something more high tech.

Thank you, Daisy! Is there a business section in most of the shops? Or were you thinking of a specific store?

The larger, generic shops have a business section, although most of the smaller, specialty shops don't.

Coffee tumbler/mug, bear mug or if he's like me anything Star Wars.

I always bring my boss a necktie. He wears them often, so I assume he likes them.

If he likes beer, Germany in Epcot has some nice beer mugs. Or in England, there are some great British rock tee's that are fun. Or as someone else said, anything Star Wars. Have fun!

I wouldn't buy anything too expensive or else it may look like you are a brown noser to your co-workers. Also, clothes like a t-shirt would be difficult to give because you have to know the exact size of the person. Personally, I never get anything just for the boss when I get back from vacations. I do however, sometimes get food items, like a box of chocolates to share with our team. If you are inclined to get the boss something, maybe candy and pair that with a souvenir cup/mug. Probably limit it to $20 though.

Shot glasses. Small, easy to pack, useful, and available in a variety of designs.

Ok 2 suggestions: My boss loves coffee and tea. I've seen many different coffee choices so that may be an option for you...maybe a mug too.

Here is my biggest suggestion: We downloaded the Shop Disney Parks app. I thought it was going to be expensive and have limited choices but let me tell you I loved it. My mom is kinda picky (love her but it's true, lol). She really wanted a Disney shirt and I was dreading going shop to shop (to shop) with her to find the perfect one. So we downloaded the app and I had her scroll through every single shirt Walt Disney World has available on the property and she picked out a few. Then we purchased the shirt she wanted (in fact it was the day before we got there) and it was waiting for us in the gift shop at our resort. Come to find out that the shirt she picked was only available in HS so we would have looked everywhere and never found 'THE' shirt because we never went to HS this trip. It saved us so much time and because for you, this is a 'guilt gift' you could get it out of the way without spending any real vacation time on it.

I just did a quick search for you too and found some great coffee options. Choices like a few different specialty grounds, to mugs and coffee presses. The great thing is if you end up not liking it in person you can return it right there in the gift shop.

Have fun on your trip!!

Another suggestion: If you like shopping and plan on being in Epcot, the World Showcase has some amazing shops in each country with really unique gifts and food items. There are so many shops that we never get enough time to go in all of them. I especially loved Japan. It's time consuming but fun!

A few years for we got the water tight cases for the water parks for souvenirs . They are great on any trip. Life guards at Vegas even asked about them and had never seen them before.
