Here are some great gift suggestions for co workers who are going to leave the company for one reason or another:

The key to ginving gifts to colleagues is to make it professional and appropriate, especially if you do now know much of them on a more personal level.

Personalized desk items are thoughtful and practical gifts. This is most suitable for collegues who are leaving the job for a better job offer or for a promotion. Desk items such as planners, a pen set, etc. can be used in your co-workers new work place.

Another gift idea is to frame a special group photo. You can also put up a small scrapbook or photo album which can remind your co-worker of some good times during their stay in your company.

You and your other coworkers can always pitch in and have a plaque engraved that would commemorate your colleague’s stay in the company. Include their names, the dates of their service and any other special detail you can include there.

A last resort, though a bit impersonal, is a gift certificate to a favorite store or restaurant. Women co-workers will surely appreciate a spa gift certificate.
