There are certain moments in every person’s life when he or she has to go away and leave behind their homes, friends, family, jobs and sometimes even cities to look for better opportunities in education, work or simple surroundings. We have a weight in our hearts when they leave, but we also know that most of the time, them leaving means that they are going to be better off, happier or more at ease in their life, and for this we can only try to be happy for them. A good way to express this bittersweet happiness is by giving these people we love Going Away Gifts.

But what are considered appropriate Going Away Gifts? Well today we shall give you some ideas on what to get that special someone as a present to remember you by, and do so every time they look at said gift, so you can have a good idea on what to make or buy. Let’s begin!

If leaving work.

If you’re an employee and one of your co-workers is leaving the office (in good terms of course) Going away gifts are very easy. You simply get all the people in the office to sign a big going away card; or take a group picture and print it as a poster, and then have everyone sign it. If however you’re an employer or the boss, depending on the years of service the employee had, you can choose to give him a watch. Mind you, a watch is normally given at retirement, so it doesn’t have to be an expensive watch, but it is a one of the best Going Away Gifts one can receive, because it symbolizes respect.

If leaving for School

Whether it’s your friends or family leaving for college, or leaving as an exchange program to another country, it can be a difficult task licking god Going Away Gifts. Your best bet is to get their family members and classmates to pitch in and give that person some money to get started, so that the person in question doesn’t start out with zeroes on their bank account. But this is a rather impersonal gift, so an engraved bracelet or wristwatch is a good gift, and one that they will cherish a lot more. Make sure that whatever you choose it’s something that will bring fond memories to your friend embarking on this journey.

Choosing what to give these people can be hard, because there are always mixed feelings involved, so I leave you with a quote to think of: “Parting is all we know of Heaven and all we need of hell”.

Thank you for reading! We hope you have found these ideas for choosing Going Away Gifts useful. Be sure to share this with friends and family and we hope you have a Happy New Year. Goodbye!
