Gifts for Team- I'm the one leaving!

Help! What can I get as gifts for my team?

Team of 6 - all female aged between 30-50. Diverse team with three religions, half don't drink.

Budget is £10 pp - I was thinking a little candle or a little pen set but now thinking that seems a bit naff!

I need them by Tuesday evening so ideally something I can go out and buy on the high street!

TIA

As others said there is really not much you can buy for £10 that isn’t tat. Stick to the lunch and maybe some nice chocolates each and a personal card. Personally I wouldn’t like a mug or cheap candle.

Nice pens.
Mugs.
A small plant for desks.
Something related to the business or an in-joke.

I think mugs are a lovely idea

One of my lovely colleagues had a hobby making greetings cards. When she left she gave us all a personalised card including a heartfelt message. That meant more to me than a 'thing' like chocolates. Anyone can buy some chocs but the fact she had taken time to compose and write the message meant I knew how much she valued my friendship.

That's £60 on something that people will look at once & laugh, and that's it.

OP, you can do something lovely for yourself for £60

Thanks for all the suggestions. I made up little Kraft bags for an emergency tea break- some nice coffee sachets and teabags, some biscuits and a Kit Kat! I already had the bags and tissue paper so sorted the rest via Sainsbury's and Amazon!

A colleague leaving bought is all really stylish little candles in glass jars from sand and fog. They were from tkmaxx I think. So thoughtful I think of her when I see it on my bookshelf. Not expensive and so neutral I thought.
