Intro/Advice

Hi all! I post here sporadically, but I don't think I ever officially introduced myself either. I moved to Buffalo from Syracuse three years ago, and married my high school sweetheart last November. We live downtown and LOVE it. I work at a bank and my husband works for Erie County. We've been adjusting from the college mentality to grown-up working people, but we're both really happy in our careers. I lurk here all the time, and respect the opinions on this board immensely.
 
Now my question. My H's boss invited him to the NCAA games on Friday. H is super excited, and it's really generous of his boss to invite him (tickets are selling for $200+). I think he should do something to reciprocate, but H thinks it'd be weird to bring him a thank you gift. Any idea of what would be an appropriate way to say thanks?

  • Hey there, and welcome!

     Maybe a really nice bottle of wine?  Thats what I might do in this case.  I agree that a TY gift would be a nice gesture though.

    Hello and welcome back!

    I agree with Tab and I would do the same thing.  Although not everyone drinks wine, so maybe his fav beer or a bottle of liquor??

  • Will they be drinking at the game? Eating dinner during/before? I'd pick up some of his pre-/in-game enjoyments. :) That way, he doesn't have a "gift" but a thanks is reciprocated.
  • I would say wine or beer or something. I know you can't buy alcohol in the arena, but he could take him for drinks/food after or something..

  • Thanks everyone! I should've mentioned that his boss doesn't drink - major stumbling block. I suggested he invite his boss to a meal before/after the game (thanks GlenLake!). He liked that idea, so I think we're good.

  • Hello and welcome!!  I really like the idea of him taking his boss to get dinner before or during the game!

    This. Or maybe he can offer dinner prior or something.

    Baby, you've got the sort of eyes that tell me tales...

  • I would offer to take him to dinner before the games, but I wouldn't keep pushing something if he declines.  It's not always appropriate for employees to 'gift up'.
