Personalized Farewell Gifts:
14 Thoughtful Ideas for Employees Who are Leaving
In today’s extremely mobile society, it’s likely that some of your employees will move on from your company. Some will be relocating out of town or pursuing a different career while others may find opportunities at another organization. Regardless of the reason, it’s a good idea to have employee farewell gifts on hand. Giving a gift to departing employees is a great way to thank them and show your appreciation for all they’ve done for the company, especially if they’ve been with you for a significant amount of time. It also creates a positive and professional experience for those who are staying.
Here are some going away gift ideas to consider:
1. Food Gift Set.
Who doesn’t love a thoughtful gift that revolves around food? Send departing employees an appreciation food basket with some delectable favorites. The Charcuterie Gift Box invites recipients to graze their way to deliciousness with this box of crackers, pickle chips, salami and cheese.
2. Flowers or a Plant.
By giving a living gift, you can send a message that your departing employee will continue to be remembered. We offer several garden and plant gifts that are appreciated by many including our Modern Sprout® Shine Bright Take Care Sunflower Gift Set. This self-care focused gift set offers a botanical take on traditional gift giving. It includes a sunflower grow kit, non-GMO sunflower seeds, energizing facial mist, and a brightening sugar scrub.

Our customized drinkware makes perfect personalized farewell gifts. For example, our 12 oz Vinay Stemless Wine Glass features a double wall construction for insulation of hot or cold liquids, Snap-on sip through lid and non-slip bottom. Other best sellers include:
4. Going Away Appreciation Card.
It might seem small, but a classy card with a heartfelt message can be one of the best corporate farewell gifts to give. When you have co-workers sign it, it provides an irreplaceable memento. For a little more fun, consider gifting Crestline’s InstaCake Appreciation Cake in a Card, which includes everything the recipient needs to make a cake with water, a microwave, and a few minutes.
5. Employees’ Choice.
To go one step further, consider setting up your own custom company swag store. Crestline can help you with all the details, and you can take the guesswork out of employee gift giving, both for going-away parties and other occasions throughout the year.

Regardless of season, personalized coolers make great employee farewell gifts. Our Igloo® Seadrift™ Coast Cooler features MaxCold® insulation with 25% more foam to keep drinks and food cooler longer. Its dual zippered opening opens to a large main compartment with handy dual side pockets for water bottles and other belongings.
8. Gift Card.
Although it’s often a last-minute gift for everyone, gift cards never go unappreciated by recipients. Choose a favorite local shop or restaurant or cards to big box retailers or Amazon. To pair it with a lasting reminder of your time together, tuck the gift card into an debossed leather luggage tag or RFID cork phone wallet.
