need ideas for a farewell gift

One of our co workers is leaving the company and moving out of state and we are throwing her a party on the 30th. Were are trying to think of a nice gift we could give her.

We had thought of a framed picture of the whole group but not everyone is around to do that.

Any ideas?!

 

Thanks!

  • Kohls has some nice Texas themed items, like dish towels, that you might be able to make a cute gift out of.

  • as much as i like people i have worked with in the past, i wouldn't really ever have a framed pic of us on the wall in my house... and if i did, after a while that would kind of lose its luster.  i'd go with something more useful, or if you want to do a momento, something functional.

    i like the idea of a texas something : )

    I don't know what your budget will be but what about getting her a nice point and shoot camera?  That way, she can take pictures of everyone herself and have them to look back on.

  • some texas fun sound fun. I would add gift cards to Home Depot or Lowe's if they have in them near where she lives. Because they will more than likely making a few trips there when they move.

    YES! LOL. We went 100 times when we first moved into our house. And we always end up going twice in one day - we either forget something, break something additional, or require something we didn't know we needed. Every. Time.

  • Instead of the framed thing, you could do just a small book that people could write well-wishes in.  Especially if she worked with some for 30 years...It is a thing in the hotel bus that when you leave you get a framed photo of the building, but everyone signs the mat.  I love looking at them in the offices of people who have been around because people will sign the funniest stuff.

    Or you could frame something Texas-ish and have people sign the mat around that.

  • Does she have a business card?  Instead of a picture, you could use that for the center of a mat-type picture, and have everyone sign around it - like pp suggested.

  • A co-worker is moving out of state and we gavre her a huge Texas themed basket with some wines from Texas along with some other novelties from Texas.
