How to pick a going away gift for a coworker

Keep it light and public friendly. Jokes about corporate life land well at a farewell; jokes about the boss or the company they are leaving do not.

A group gift goes further. A mug plus a notebook or a tee makes a great "from all of us" gift for under $50.

Order early if it is a surprise. Items are printed on demand and usually arrive within 5 to 13 business days in the US.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good going away gift for a coworker?

Something small, funny and useful at their next desk, like a mug or notebook, plus a card the team signs. Funny gifts about corporate life are a safe choice because everyone can relate.

How much should you spend on a coworker leaving gift?

Individual gifts are usually $15 to $30. Group gifts from a team often land between $40 and $75, which covers two or three items here.

Is a funny farewell gift appropriate?

Yes, as long as the joke is about office life in general and not about the company or the people they are leaving.

Can I ship it to their home?

Yes. Enter their address at checkout and add a gift message. Prices are never printed on the packing slip.

When should I order to get it before Christmas?

For delivery by Christmas, order by Thursday, December 10 for US addresses and by Monday, November 30 for Canada, the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Everything is printed on demand, so earlier is always safer.
