One of the best things to do when a colleague leaves is to buy them a nice gift to say good luck and goodbye. Buying a gift is great fun, it’s fun picking something you know someone will like and it’s really satisfying seeing them smile when they receive the gift.
Whether you are planning on buying a custom plaque, a meal voucher, a new drink launch, or an experience, there are so many different things that you can buy for a work colleague leaving. Our advice would be to set a budget and give yourself as much time to buy a gift, this way you are not in a rush and don’t panic buy.
Below are four gift ideas for a work colleague leaving.
Custom Plaque
If your work colleague is known for doing something special, why not get them a custom plaque as a gift? You could engrave their record sales month onto it, a nickname that they are known for, or write a nice message that they can cherish forever. Custom Plaques are not particularly expensive and are a great way to share a personal message. You can have a plaque designed and delivered the next day or within the week and there are plenty of designs that you can choose from – why not try and match the plaque to their favourite colour or something that would compliment their home interiors?
Experience Day
Experience days are very popular gifts as they are often something different to do and are not material gifts (Experiences are often preferred to material gifts). Experiences can range from cocktail making or kayaking to a chef’s table experience or a spa break as well as many other things. Vouchers often have to be used within 12 months of purchase and in some cases can involve a friend, partner, or family member. The price of an experience day varies depending on the type of experience you are choosing. When choosing an experience, we would recommend reading the reviews, as this is a good way to see what other customers have thought of the experience.
Kitchen Gift
If you know your colleague enjoys cooking, then a kitchen gift might be right up their street. Kitchen gifts can be anything from a new appliance to a set of kitchen knives, a cooking book, or a new set of glasses – you can never have enough glasses in the kitchen. The best thing about buying something for the kitchen is you can match any budget you have set. You can easily find something affordable or something expensive. If you need some suggestions, Pinterest is a great place to look.
