No. 2Biltong & Wine Bro Bucket
Droewors, nuts, Pringles and a small bottle of Beyerskloof Pinotage in a bucket. Casual rather than formal, so it suits a boss you actually get on with.
Skip it if the workplace does not allow alcohol as a gift.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 3Dark Chocolate Nut Tray
Lindt, Ferrero, peanut clusters and Montagu nuts set out on a tray, in two sizes. It sits open on a desk and gets shared, which is how a boss's gift usually ends up anyway.
Not for an office where somebody has a nut allergy.

No. 4Personalised Classic A5 Notebook
Hardcover A5 notebook with his name on the front, in black or blue, or as a set of three. Useful in a way most boss gifts are not, and it stays on his desk.
Skip it if he runs his whole day off a laptop.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 5Craft Beer and Bites Hamper
Craft beer with droewors, peanuts and chocolate packed around it, in three sizes. Right for a boss who talks about beer, and wrong for one who never mentions it.
Skip it if alcohol at work would be awkward.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 6Snack and Wine Man Crate
Biltong, droewors and Lindt packed around a bottle, with La Motte or Meerlust as the step-up options. Worth choosing when the person knows wine and would notice which bottle turned up.
Not for a household where nobody drinks.

No. 7Personalised Get It Done Mug Gift Set
Mug printed with get it done and his name, packed in a hat box with a ribbon. Cheeky enough to be funny and small enough not to look like you are angling for something.
Not for a boss who would not find the wording funny.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 8Personalised Biltong Cutter
Engraved biltong cutter with his name on the wood, and an upgrade that packs in Halaal and Kosher droewors and biltong. For a boss who talks about his braai more than his weekend.
Skip it if he does not eat meat.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 9Classic Bon Appetit Hamper
Nougat, chocolate, biltong, dried fruit and a bottle of wine in one hamper, in three sizes. The full version, for when the whole team has chipped in and it needs to look like it.
Skip it if he does not drink and the wine will go to waste.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 10Hat Box Treat Gift
Chocolates in a hat box, four sizes, which is the one to send when you do not know him well. It gives nothing away about what you think of him, which is sometimes the safest thing.
Skip it if you want the gift to say something specific.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 11Munch Mania
Ferrero Rocher, Wedgewood biscuits and roasted nuts in a box, four sizes. Aimed at the drawer he raids at four in the afternoon rather than at his shelf.
Skip it if he never eats at his desk.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 12Munch Monster Hamper
Montagu snacks fill a hamper in standard, medium and large sizes. It suits someone who enjoys savoury nibbles and would share a larger selection.
Skip it if they prefer fresh fruit to packaged snacks.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 13Bro Got the Munchies Bucket
Bucket of Oreos, droewors, peanuts, Pringles and a Kit Kat, aimed at a boss who eats like a student. Informal, so it works better from a team than from one person.
Not for a formal office where this would look flippant.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 14Simply Savoury Box
Biltong, wasabi nuts, chilli peanuts and rice crackers in a box, with not a sweet in sight. For the boss who pushes the chocolate tin down the table without touching it.
Skip it if he cannot take chilli or heat.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 15Personalised My Team Mug and Notebook Set
Black A5 notebook and a mug, both printed with his name, with Sally Williams nougat in the box. Made for exactly this occasion, and it is the one that says the gift came from a team.
Skip it if his desk is already covered in branded mugs.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 16Personalised Signature Wine Giftbox
Wine in a black box with his name and a message printed on it, and a choice of Diemersdal, La Motte or Rothschild. The personalising lifts it above a bottle grabbed on the way in.
Skip it if company rules make alcohol gifts a problem.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 17Personalised Water Bottle in Sleeve with Name
Five hundred millilitre water bottle in a named sleeve, in pink, red, blue or black. It is water rather than coffee, so this belongs to the person who alternates a flat white with a bottle at the gym.
Skip it if they wanted something to drink coffee out of.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 18Snack Attack
Biscuits, biltong, chips and nougat in one Halaal-certified box, sized small through extra large. Straightforward when the office is mixed and the gift has to suit everyone who ends up eating it.
Skip it if he has already been given three hampers this month.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 19Personalised Classic Biltong Cutter
A wooden biltong cutter carries their name, initial and a short engraved message. The simple design suits a cook who enjoys cutting biltong themselves.
Skip it if they would rather receive ready-sliced biltong.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 20Black Box of Rothschild
Red wine in a black gift box, with a version that adds sixteen Ferrero Rocher. Rupert & Rothschild Classique rather than a bubbly, which covers the wine drinker who never orders sparkling.
Skip it if they drink white and red sits in the rack untouched.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 21Cadbury Sweet Treats Hamper
Cadbury slabs, Astros and a Crunchie in a hamper, in four sizes, all of it familiar. Nothing clever about it, which suits a boss who would find a clever gift uncomfortable.
Skip it if he never touches sweets.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 22Personalised Dressing Gown Adult
Adult dressing gown with his name embroidered on it, in four sizes. Too personal for most bosses, and right only for one you have worked beside for years.
Skip it if you do not know his size, or the relationship is formal.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 23Nutty Biltong Luxury Crate
Sliced beef biltong, nuts, chocolates and savoury snacks give a food lover several things to open. The three variations add different quantities and include droëwors in the larger option.
Skip it if they avoid nuts, beef or dairy.

No. 24Salty and Sweet Hamper
Savoury and sweet snacks packed around a bottle of wine, in a box or a basket. Delivery only reaches Joburg, Pretoria, Cape Town and Durban, so check where his office is.

How to choose a gift for him
Prices on this page run from under R200 to R750–1 000; 6 of the 24 picks are under R300. This list leans towards things to eat and hampers and crates. 23 of them deliver nationwide; the rest are metro-only, and the retailer page shows the next delivery date for your area. Start from the price band you have in mind, then read the note under each pick: it says who the thing is really for and who should skip it. Where a pick is filed for him by the retailer itself we say so; where a page borrows from a neighbouring list we say that too.
Where this list comes from: we read NetFlorist's whole catalogue, keep only what it files for him itself (Chocolate & Nougat, Wines, Dried Fruit & Nuts among the categories here), rank by where NetFlorist places each item, what its buyers have said and how the price sits, and write our own note on who it suits and who should skip it. We have not handled these products and do not say we have. Commission never touches the order. Price bands come from NetFlorist's prices on 7 September 2026; the retailer page is the truth on the day. The full method.
