Ready to get started? We've prepared a ready-to-use farewell gift collection for you.
There's no need to set a 'mandatory' amount: the idea is for everyone to contribute according to their means or their relationship with the person.
€5 to €10: large team / many participants.
€10 to €20: the most common amount for a nice gift without pressure.
€20 to €30: small group or if you want a more significant gift (for a retirement, for example).
Suggesting a range helps avoid hesitation and makes the collection more inclusive.
Once the collection is complete, here are some ideas that are always a big hit:
New professional adventure: travel bag, headphones, gift card, subscription (sports, books, music).
Retirement: experience (spa, restaurant), souvenir album, activity box, equipment for a hobby.
End of internship / work-study program: gift card, book/training, useful accessories, small team souvenir.
Group gift: voucher for a getaway, group activity, contribution to a personal project.
If you're unsure about the gift choice or if you've collected more money than expected, you can also purchase an Amazon.fr gift card free of charge within the app when withdrawing the funds from the money pot.
