Dear Annabella

I am leaving my office after 2 fantastic years and would like to buy the office a gift to mark my leaving.

Any ideas?

Dear Lauren,

My advice when it comes to leaving presents depends on the size and personality of your office and, of course, on your budget. Are they a sociable lot? Our office is very cheery indeed, the only thing missing is common sense when it comes to selecting tea.

Sweetie hampers make good leaving presents as they’re great for sharing, the Big Kids Sweetie Hamper is particularly fun.

If you’re looking to leave a lasting impression with your gift then a Mirror Spoof Newspaper Presentation Pack can be customised with funny office-related stories, perhaps a series of tea-related mishaps due to a horrific misordering problem? There’s two copies included in the price so this gift makes a memento for you as well.

Finally, for a fun gift, why not Adopt a Penguin on behalf of the office? They’ll get regular news on how the cuddly chap is getting along and a rather attractive gift pack as well.

Do let me know how you get on with your gift selection,

Annabella
