Office Boutique Shares Ideas for Leaving Gifts for Work Colleagues

Bradford, United Kingdom, August 23, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Ideas for gifts for colleagues at work

With the uncertain work climate, Office Boutique has seen an increase in requests for leaving gifts. Office Boutique has put together some ideas for gifts together with adding that personal touch:

- A distinctive address book - include all your contact details and a short message - perhaps great to work with you, stay in touch
- A photo album - if you have some pictures (or take a group picture), include this in the album together with a special message
- If they are going to new pastures - a new job, you can never go wrong with a business card case. An essential item to hold business cards professionally - Office Boutique has a great range
- A cork board with personal messages/pictures pinned on - you can add some champagne, flowers, luxury chocolates (cheesy, but, Hero chocolates are great as you can say - you have been one of our heroes working here)
- Decorative clock or distinctive desk accessory - works well for men and women. The silver plated Crown Weather Clock is a good seller for men and the Art Deco Clock/Photo Frame is a lovely present for a woman
- Leather journal - a really luxurious journal is a lovely gift and you can include a personal note in the front
- Pick and mix of fashion stationery - if they are going to work elsewhere this will come in useful or if they are retiring, many people are now assigning an office space area at home
- Vintage print - buy a lovely frame and voila, you have a really distinctive item
- Do they have a laptop or iphone? Why not choose a skin - such as Marilyn Monroe and combine with a DVD
- Add a balloon - Miss Smarty Pants or one called Mr Smarty Pants
- Depending on the time of year - a calendar or diary - add a special message, if you want to stay in touch mark a date to meet up for dinner - you could buy as part of the present
- Stationery gifts perhaps featuring William Shakespeare and Oscar Wilde. You could also include one of their plays/books or book a ticket to a show featuring their work
- Luxury Guest Book - you could all add some personal comments. An example, is a lovely coffee leather guest book featuring the work of Frank Lloyd Wright the architect. You could record a special moment/achievement they did in the workplace. You could add a luxury pen and letter opener - we tend never to buy these for ourselves but they make great gifts
- Leaving work is leaving work behind so how about some fun - perhaps a desktop basketball game or a silver plated yo-yo
- Retiring? How about a great organiser book for the home - Garden Cuttings Book and Recipe Organiser - add some seeds, plant or some luxury food
- Gift stationery voucher - if you have a money collection, buy a voucher and let the recipient choose for themselves

Whatever your gift the key Office Boutique has found is to add that personal touch.
