Hi guys I am a new HC and wanted to give my coaches something at the end of the season. Nothing to elaborate and over the top but something that they can remember the season by. Each coach gets a picture signed and framed from the Program but I am looking to do something specific for each coach.
My ideas were a book, mini helmet. Anything you guys have seen done or done yourselves?

I buy my staff indivindual cards and write something positive they have done in it. As well, I place a gift card to either Olive Garden, Red Lobster, On the Border, ect. Tell them to take their family, girlfriend, whoever out and enjoy a night out.

I like the baseball game idea. Unfortunately for us that would mean spending time at a Royals game!!

Great food, beverage, and fun people. They tell me thank you for a while afterwords. |

Every year at state clinic I buy staff dinner one night out of my pocket.
We host post-game parties to celebrate or commiserate together, again provide food and drink. Also pre-season "Goodbye dear, football's here" cookout after Physical Fitness Test and equipment issue.
Year we won school's first undisputed league title (and first undefeated regular season) got them T-shirts and plaques commemorating the achievement, but used fundraiser money for those.

I have never received anything in 6 years, 5 with the same head coach. I usually create or make something for myself.
I think individualized gifts specific to each coach is creative.
1. Books
2. Gift certificate
3. Clothing
4. Trophy of some kind
Just make sure all are priced the same.

I try to pick up a dinner or two and an occasional breakfast here and there throughout the year.

Take em golfing (with beers). great way to spend time together and often a good way to see their character as many business bosses do.

candlesticks always make a nice gift, and uh, maybe you could find out where they' re registered and maybe a place-setting or maybe a silverware pattern. Okay, let's get two! Go get 'em.

I have never received, or bought a present to give at the end of the season.
That being said, I always try and the guys I've worked for (mostly) have always tried to make sure we're taken care of in clothing, an occasional meal on them, and other perks throughout the season.
