Would you give a little something?
DH came across a decent size error at his job (he's a sr accountant). The CEO said that him and the controller (his boss) will get a $1000 bonus each. His controller didn't want any of it since my DH really found it, so he is getting $2000 extra in this paycheck.
DH wants to know, do we get her something to thank her? His boss treats him so well so I said we can get her a panera gift certificate (since she loves that place for lunch) and just write inside thanks for everything.
Opinions? Views? TIA!

Re: Would you give a little something?
That would be very nice and appropriate, but not neccessary! The definition of generosity.

Re: Would you give a little something?
Great idea. I don't think it is expected to give a little something but very generous if you do!

ditto! or maybe do the "we'll take you out to dinner sometime" thing that no one ever really takes you up on.

Re: Would you give a little something?
I would but Ithink I would write more in the card. Like:
Dear Boss,
This is a token of mine and my familys' appreciation for all that you do. It's bosses like you that help to make a job fulfilling. Thanks again.

Re: Would you give a little something?
i think sending flowers (or anything to boss's house) would be weird.
a small gift certificate given in-person would be the perfect gesture

Re: Would you give a little something?
I really do not think you need to do anything. I'm sure your husband works hard and deserves his bonus. You shouldn't have to then spend money on the boss.

Re: Would you give a little something?
i absolutely think you should give something to the boss. if i read your post correctly - he has a $2K bonus instead of a $1K bonus bc of his boss. MANY bosses would have taken the $1K regardless of whether they had picked up the error or not. The fact that he gave it all to your hubby is awesome.
so... while certainly not obligated, i do think it would be nice to give the boss something.

I agree with this - or the gift certificate is fine, but to her house, not the office. DH's company has issues with this, maybe his does too.
