To give this gift

[Clappingforjoy]

Womam at work and its her last day at work today as going on maternity leave. Everybody including myself put together and got her a gift that she recieved yesterday. Because its her last day today am I been ott on wanting to give her a gift off me personally as I've been told its unnecessary. I get on well with her at work and like her but we are not sort of mates out side of work. What do you think would you only expect this off a colleague you was especially close to or is it okay.

It’s really kind of you

Thank you

Aw, I'd be touched by that

There's nothing wrong in being a generous person. I would think you were very kind and thoughtful. You say you get on well so what's stopping you both from keeping in touch?

Nothing at all really im just a bit socially awkward I feel

You certainly don't sound socially awkward. You sound a lovely, kind person and anyone would be lucky to have you as a friend. Remember that x

Thank you for your kind words Nos

Oh no it’s a lovely thing to do!

Someone I knew from work but wasn’t particularly friendly with hand knitted a cardi for my baby, I was really touched they’d thought of me and spent their time and money

That's a lovely thing to do.
