Thoughtful Farewell Gift Ideas for a Parting Colleague
Itβs bittersweet when a beloved colleague is making the move to leave the company. On one hand you reminisce about the times spent working together after work hours, perk-me-up water cooler chats and of course, the great support theyβve been. On the other hand, youβre excited for their next chapter and whatβs to come for them.Β
Here are a few gift ideas to give a little thanks and wish them all the best in their endeavours.
Candles
Leaving the company may be a stressful decision and candles are one of the easiest ways to create a relaxing ambience. We have a selection of apothecary and hand poured soy candles that make the perfect gift.
Here is our Natural Hand Poured Soy Wax with different floral-infused scents such as Wood Sage & Sea Salt, English Pear & Freeasia, Cherry Tea, Rose and Pine:
On top of that, this gift can be a cheeky way to say how much youβll miss them - they will think of you every time they see and smell it.Β
Salt lamp
Another way to help your former colleague relieve stress would be salt lamps. Pink salts are thought to release negative ions into your space, which would be able to get rid of dust particles that may affect your health, thus purifying your space and helping the air quality of your home. Other beneficial claims include: increasing energy levels, alleviating symptoms of allergies and even boosting oneβs overall mood that helps oneΒ sleep soundly. Plus, itβs a pretty stylish design that can seamlessly blend into any space.

Office essentials
First days are always nerve-wrecking. What better way to give your support to your colleague than giving them support on the day. Gift them with functional and handy office essentials such as a moleskin notebook, trusty pen and an office mug to wish them good luck for their first day.
With a sleek and modern design, Ana Hanaβs two-in-one set of a Vacuum Flask and Cup is the perfect choice to spruce up the work desk.
Handwritten Letters
Nothing really beats a compilation of thoughtful words from the office. Itβs the people you work with that makes work dynamic and exciting.Β
Get everyone involved! To make it more interesting, you can prompt each person with a few general questions to make it personal and memorable. E.g.
- What was your first impression of him/her?
- Whatβs your favourite trait of him/her?
- Memorable projects youβve worked on?
- Favourite moment youβve shared with him/her?
Farewell flowers
Flowers are the perfect gift for any occasion! Weβre sure your colleague will be more than happy (and pleasantly surprised) to receive a fresh bouquet of flowers on their last day.
