Name changed as outing but what's the best/worst/cringe farewell gift you've received or contributed to for a work farewell?

Light hearted - hugs to those who haven't received, etc. Posting here for traffic.

Mine? Colleague worked at the place for 3 months and they asked for (and we duly delivered) gift voucher for the fancy bra shop next door 😆

I worked at a place for 20 years, always contributing to every collection for retirements , birthdays, etcetera. I was medically retired after an accident at work and was extremely disappointed that my colleagues didn't get me a single thing, not even a card. And nobody ever came to see me or contacted me in any way after my employment was terminated.

What had your relationship been like with your colleagues?

This kind of thing doesn’t happen unless there’s a sizeable history.
