Leaving gifts for a colleague starting somewhere new
A new job gift gets unpacked on a desk surrounded by strangers, so it does the introducing. The Moodboard Desk Plaque comes with magnetic letters. Mr Whiskers is a cat-shaped mouse. The Overthinker's Desk Pad is a desk pad. Day one, they already have something people ask about.
Leaving gifts for colleagues, handed over with everyone watching
Gifts for colleagues get opened in front of the room, so the object has to carry the moment on its own. The Emergency Sticky Note Dispenser sits behind glass. Robo Vac 2000 clears a desk. The Choculator is a calculator. Nobody has to explain the joke on your behalf.
Farewell gifts that fit in the box they are packing
A farewell gift competes with a cardboard box and a lanyard. The Cassette Hub is a USB hub. The Baguette Keyboard Rest is a wrist rest. Hot Lips is a ceramic trinket dish. Small enough to pack, odd enough to unpack.
