Gift ideas for supervisor?

Write her a nice card. Something from the heart about how much she's meant to you will probably mean more than any gift.

Other than that, I'm of the belief that something small is always the way to go. Presents that are too grand can make people uncomfortable. But a candle, a jar of honey, some toasted almonds, hand lotion, or a book related to the profession would all be nice without being over the top.

I got my LCSW supervisor a Kintsugi bowl. It’s basically a bowl that has been broken and repaired. The broken pottery is repaired by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer.

The meaning behind it is that people can become broken and seemingly useless, but if time and patience is taken to put it back together, it then becomes a more beautiful piece, and even stronger than it was before being broken.

Basically- we receive patients who are broken. It’s our job to figure out how to help the patient put themselves back together, and the scars will always be there, but now they’re areas of strength.

You can find those types of bowls on Etsy or eBay. I gave her that and a lb of coffee from our go to spot along with a card.

She keeps the bowl in her office and is now a conversation starter for clients who are feeling broken/helpless.

I think a good quality card with a thoughtful message is all you really need to give in a situation like this but if you really want to give a small gift in addition to that, dont spend more than $10-20. Maybe a small succulent house plant or a small piece of art/wall hanging (maybe something inspirational/career-related) that she could put in her office.

My last supervision session is at the end of the month and I've planned out a gift bag for my supervisor. Spent more than is being recommended here-- something like a hundred dollars-- but it feels right. She's provided my supervision for free despite not working for my low-on-LCSWs agency out of the kindness of her heart and really got me out of a big jam these last two years.

Bought her a few cute items that matched with her personality and interests + a play therapy item that she mentioned being interested in. And plan to write her a heartfelt message in a card.

I gave my supervisor a rare, exotic amaryllis bulb that was potted and in bloom. It was a beautiful plant that blooms each year and is super easy to take care of. I think that whole thing set me back 50 bucks. She really appreciated it.

When I graduated I wrote her a personal card and gave her a big yankee candle in the Gardenia scent. She really liked it.

None. I've already paid them $50/hour for 100 hours.

There are some cool social work gifts on Etsy and through the NASW.

I think the hand written heart felt thank you note is the way to go. The supervisor may or may not want to socialize with you at dinner. You want to not be cringy or overly demonstrative. And in giving a gift, we think of what the receiver would want. A low income person might not appreciate a crystal vase if they can't purchase enough food that week. A vegan may not appreciate a gift card to a steak restaurant. I had a boss give me a gift card to a hair salon that I had quit using due to the place having management issues for a leaving the job gift. Talk about a backhanded and passive aggressive thing to do! So if you want to give a gift, think about this person's life and hobbies. I love getting a nice thank you note. I have kept them in a drawer for years in the past. And read them several times. Something inexpensive also puts you on equal footing, the supervisor doesn't have to feel they owe you something because you gave an expensive gift. They likely do not see you as a friend, but as a client. Some people like the professional distance. Congratulations to you!
