When someone leaves, whether a friend, family member or colleague, you can make the farewell easier by giving them a small gift to remember them forever. However, choosing the right gift could be difficult as most tend to be too general or too sentimental. Some gifts are unsuitable or are quickly forgotten. But there are several options available that fit just right as farewell gifts for friends and colleagues.
A farewellwith a colleaguecan be embarrassing and emotional. Humor is a good way to lighten the mood. Look for gifts that would make the recipient laugh and every time he sees it later, he would remember you. Some ideas include humorous books with a relevant topic (new city or new career), mugs with funny sayings, or wall calendars with funny photos.
If someone you love, like a good friend or family member, has to go, opt for a more personal gift that represents your friendship. Photo albums or notebooks work well for this. Look for gifts that relate to a specific memory or experience, like a song you both love or a postcard from a place you vacationed together.
Another option for colleagues or friends would be to give something practical as a gift. If the recipient is changing cities, a travel guide is perfect. If he's going abroad, try a pocket dictionary. For someone who has received a job offer in another career field, a diary or personalized coffee mug with this theme would be a good idea.
