Leaving Prezzie

[Milims]

Even tho we still have a week and a bit of the term left, we had our end of term "do" after work tonight, with leavers presentations. I'm really chuffed - they clubbed together and bought me a crab apple tree I think it's lovely - I can make jelly and think of them all every time!

That's lovely - they obviously know what you are into!

[Annpan]

That is fantastic



One leaving pressie I got was a cuddley lion - I am not a cuddly toy kind of a person, and I was leaving 'the bear factory' and the lion was from clinton cards
Didn't get anything, not even a leaving doo, when I left the clothes shop - I only worked there for 4 years doing more than my fair share too... and organising leaving nights and pressies for everyone else.... sigh..... not that I am bitter or anything...

It's so nice when people put thought into a present and buy something they know you would like, rather than buying something they like. When I went on maternity leave, my colleagues clubbed together and gave me a load of Mothercare vouchers so I could buy what I wanted for LO. Then, when I resigned they clubbed together again. The person in charge of the money said she wanted to give me gift vouchers so I could buy what I wanted and asked what store I would like the vouchers for. She insisted it had to be to buy something for me, not LO, and that they would not buy me Mothercare vouchers again. So I got exactly what I wanted - B&Q vouchers!

When I left my job in Australia, they all put together a scrap book with loads of photos and messages from everyone I had worked with. They also bought me a lovely necklace, but nicest of all, they sponsored a child through World Vision 'in my memory' (made it sound like I had died!). Apparently, I was their conscience and they wanted to be reminded of that when I left!

That's lovely. How nice of them to think about what you would like. I love giving trees as presents (when it's suitable) and gave my friends an apple tree as a wedding present a few years ago.

When I left my last job they gave me B&Q vouchers which went towards my wood burning stove .
