Picking a going away gift
Choose compact, meaningful items like travel organizers, personalized luggage tags, portable chargers, or a curated travel kit. Experience-based gifts (gift cards for restaurants or activities at their destination) can also be incredibly thoughtful.
Add a personal keepsake — a photo book, handwritten notes from colleagues or friends, or a small memento — to give emotional support during the transition. Keep weight and shipping practicality in mind if they’ll be moving long-distance.
