Hi,

A colleague is leaving on ML for her 3rd child. We all want to celebrate her leaving and give her a good send off. We've got her a card & flowers & chocolates. Anything else we could do? We've discarded 'Going down the pub'

Thanks in advance

We went out for afternoon tea on my last day and my team bought me flowers and books. It was lovely!

I think nice food would be a good addition.

Afternoon tea? If you can't go out can some people bring the scones, cream & jam, someone else the finger sandwiches, someone the mini cakes etc?
