Last year, for the first time, the department pitched in and got our boss a gift certificate at his favorite restaurant. When he received it, he was visibly uncomfortable and after an awkward 3 seconds of silence he came up with this gem, "Aw, you guys didn't have to get me a gift. Making your lives miserable 365 days a year is all the thanks I need." Another 3 seconds of awkward silence, then nervous laughter ensued.

We are still trying to figure out how to top last year.
