So, I got a two-part gift for my director. An Olympics toque and some smoked salmon. Are those good?
Other than the two-hands thing, what's etiquette for giving it to her? Do I just say "hey, look I got ya something" and hand it to her? A little help, please. |

Get her some cream cheese and bread to go with the salmon, and tell her it is a famous sandwich from your country, and you wanted to share some of your culture with her, because they have been sharing theirs.
Also, get some outrageously wasteful wrapping. Even a gift bag. If you're green, go to a dollar store and get a cheap tote bag. |

!!! Whatever you get your director she'll love, because you decided to do something nice for her. I get my co-teachers things randomly because they are nice to me and geniunely good people. My gifts were a pencil/pen holder, nail polish, I even got them green tea cookies once for the whole teachers lounge. Mandarin oranges are always a hit too. So are pears.
But awesome you're getting gifts. That's really nice of you.  |

Shhh. Don't tell anybody that the toque was free swag given to me while walking around the Olympic pavilions in Vancouver. The salmon I bought.
But yes, I think it's a nice gesture. |

I'm thinking about giving her my suitcase full of spam. It was an unopened gift from 12 months ago.
I'll even give it to her using both hands. |
