Leaving gift - from the leaver

[ivrytwr3]

I am moving on soon from a role i have been in for almost 10 years. People have come and gone, but i have had a great time and i am leaving behind a great team.

I know they have been collecting for a leaving gift (hopefully!) but rather than just doing a runner, i would like to give them something too.

There's only about 20 of us, so was thinking a cake or cake and donuts - just a little something to say thanks.

Any ideas? (it was a great place to work so i won't be leaving behind a steaming turd before anyone suggest it).

Steaming tu....oh .

Are you sure they all like you? Because if not, a set of darts would go nicely with the portrait.

Cling film the ****pans... Oh.

A pub visit is always a winner but 20 is a big round.

I like them, but not that much

It will be in our tea bar, so after the presentation and the huge tears and sobbing, i'd like to say thanks and here's a little something from me............ what that "me" is though?!

Donuts, or similar, cake is too much like something they should buy you.

I hear ferry tickets are all the rage nowadays, perhaps one of those?

Could you buy a few bottles of posh soft drinks (or a bottle of spirits if appropriate at your place of work) so following the presentation, you can all raise a glass and toast each other's future success?

When I left I shipped in a load of Papa Johns pizza, but a couple boxes of donuts (Krispy Kreme's would be a winner) or buy a couple of tubs of chocolates that have appeared in the supermarkets ready for Xmas

Mouse mats with your face. 20 of them is probably less than donuts

Pies, pizzas or cakes is the done thing here.

Take 'em to the pub. Sod the expense

 

[chaparral]

When someone leaves my place that been there a long time we normally go for a few drinks one night at one of the local pubs..

Or mouse mats and portraits of this fella. Lots of portraits remember, at least 1 in each room.

I like that!

We do donuts etc, quite a bit, but i will keep an eye for the Xmas tins of Celebrations etc. I've also had scout about and think I've settled on a decent cake with a personalised message, "I'm leaving, sorry for you loss, ivrytwr3 x"

Hold on to your security pass and every now and again, pop into the toilets - unseen but wear a disguise just in case - and roll some fruit under the stall next to yours.
