A lot of people have issues finding a good not too personal but not too generic holiday gift for their bosses. The Wall Street Journal wrote an article featuring Young Yun from American Express and tips for how to find the perfect gift.
1) Listen throughout the year for tidbits about what they like. Ex: Your boss likes to cook and likes a certain restaurant... Gift basket with sauces from that restaurant and how to use them
2) If you haven't been listening for useful bits of information, a little facebook--- "searching" doesn't hurt either. Google, facebook, twitter, and even foursquare can tell you a lot about the person AND can lead you to a great gift idea!
3) People like to eat - even better if its something they can share with their team!
4) Flowers are okay, but not the best idea
5) Avoid anything prepackaged
And that's your Holiday gift advice!

If you’re looking for a great gift for the boss for Christmas and one that’s on most people’s ‘bucket list’ and one fellow employees can pool their money for, then a balloon flight is the perfect gift.
An adventure gift like a balloon flight is just what the doctor ordered for parents too. That’s why the so-called "experience" gift is so popular, because people who have accumulated everything material they could want don't really need anything. The only things they want to collect anymore are experiences. A balloon flight is the ultimate experience.
The balloon flight costs $695.00 for two people. Gift certificates for flights in the area over Kensington Park in Milford, Michigan can be purchased by calling 734-667-2098 or by visiting www.westwindcos.com/balloon
