Farewell Gift Ideas

Farewell – Gift Ideas

 

Good-byes are always hard to say but farewells are as important as greetings!

Farewells are inevitable, whether its family, friends, colleagues or neighbors, people do move on in life. Its indeed a roller coaster of emotions, you are sad as your colleague or friend would go away and at the same time you are happy that friend of yours is moving ahead in life, which he and she always wanted.

Your friend whom you are bidding a farewell is also going through a gamut of emotions, he or she is sad to leave his friends and a settled life behind, apprehensive about the new job, new location and at the same time excited about what this new and better life.

All these emotions should be cherished, good old times should be recounted. The celebrations should be sealed with an exchange of farewell gifts.

This write up is about selecting a suitable send off gift. The things you should consider, including budget and common pitfalls you should avoid.

While selecting a farewell gift, you should consider -

Gift should be as per his or her liking or style. Please select color designs as per likings of the person whom you giving the good bye gift

The gift should be lasting and have long life span. Say your budget is $100 then instead of buying a big bag made of PU or synthetic leather, buy a small sling or wallet made of real leather, as leather lasts for long time whereas PU starts to disintegrate in 6 to 12 months

The gift can be personalized with name or initials of the person written on it. This little personalization makes a lot of difference in making the person feel special. This is highly recommended.

The budget, brand is NOT important. As long as you take care of above, the amount of money you spend is not relevant.
