Gift Card

  1. Let them pick their own present with a gift card to their favorite place. Gift cards are great because you don’t have to worry about whether your recipient will actually like them or not. An Amazon gift card for any amount you’re comfortable with is the perfect way to let your coworker choose something they really want or need for their next position.
    • If your coworker is a foodie, go for a gift card to their favorite restaurant!
    • The female or makeup-loving coworker who always comes to work with a perfectly done face might love a gift card to places like Sephora or Ulta.
    • Lest we forget the glorious gift that is a massage! Consider giving your coworker a gift card to a spa local to their area so they can relax in preparation for their job transition.

Money

  1. When in doubt, give money. Select a card, write a sweet note, and insert whatever amount of money works best for your budget or what you’re comfortable with.[6] Giving the gift of money allows your coworker to use it for whatever they want or need. It’s nice having freedom over your own gift!
    • Fear not– it’s not tacky to give money; it’s classy! Just make sure you put it in a nice card first. Money cards are fantastic because they have a specific space for you to insert your bills.
