Help! I need to buy a present for my colleague

17 replies

Eyelashesoffire · 11/09/2023 21:44

I'm absolutely rubbish at present buying and I have volunteered to buy something for my colleague's birthday. I've been putting it off not able to think of anything. Now I need to get something very quickly, ideally Amazon, as I won't have time to get to the shops in person.

I also feel bad because my colleague is lovely and technically I've known her for years but I can't think of a single thing she likes.

I know she likes reading, singing. We have a budget of £25.

Please someone help me !

If she likes reading then a Waterstones voucher.

White Company Candle, I think Seychelles is their most popular one!

The jewelry is very cute but I don't feel confident buying jewelry for people, I'm a crap present buyer.

How about one of those multiple picture frames? Perfect for people with kids. I got one for a collegue secret santa that said Family in the middle + she loved it. I would recommend one with all the same size photos though, as different sized ones are much harder work to fill!

Definitely a voucher

Yes that sounds nice, definitely with all the same size photos

Hi @Eyelashesoffire
On Amazon they have gift hampers, if you type in gift hampers for her, they look really nice especially for a birthday, pic of one of the hampers below x

Voucher has got a cool response from the group chat, possibly not personal enough 😞

I've found a lovely notebook and pen. I just need another little something for about £5 - any ideas?

Well let them come up with some ideas then.

Chocolates to go in with it.

Could you stretch to the scarf @Riverlee linked above?
