Gift ideas for older female colleagues

[LongWalkShortPlank]

I started a new job in September and I work with 4 other ladies. I'm the youngest by 20 years and I'm a little stuck on something lovely I can get for them that fits in with the budget they have of around £5-10 per person. I dont know them well enough yet and I'm stumped! Help!

I'm old - 47- and a decent candle does me every time. White Co do lovely ones for a tenner

Someone else mentioned Nesti Dante soap- I just got 6 bars for £15 I think , on sale in John Lewis

(You could always keep half for any other presents needed!)

I agree with the nice bauble. I don't paint my own nails much any more, don't want cheap creams or candles etc.

A nice bauble and a cupcake.

And to the poster who said about fake chilly bottles! Are they real? Do they work?! I need 4 of them!

I'd love an amyrillas or nice wine,a rioja would be my favourite, Last year I found cashmere socks in TKMaxx I'd kill for another pair

I love the advent calendar idea!

An amazon voucher then they can pick something more useful!

You need to get to know them as this thread proves everyone is different. I am 50 I would love a kitsch bauble, a good paperback (maybe something you think I may like). I would hate nail polish - I never wear it. I would hate cheap hand cream but would love a matte red lipstick.

Perhaps a wax seal stamp with their initial (try amazon) and gold/red sealing wax. I use mine loads when sending cards, invites etc.

I saw in next the other day that they have cute little cacti. You could get them one each. They don’t really need watering much so people don’t need to worry about looking after it! Also it’s quite unusual and they will like the Novelty of it!

Hand cream is also a good idea. It doesn’t have to be loccitane but Crabtree and Evelyn do nice ones.

Wilko have a lot of gifts. They are doing mugs with initials in gold for £2. www.wilko.com/en-uk/wilko-gold-alphabet-mug-f/p/0473205
You could get each Person a mug with their initial and fill with Linder chocolates or anything that you want. I did this one year, where I bought really nice mugs and filled them with lindor balls. I then wrapped them in cellophane with a bow and then a candy cane in between.

Tbh I wouldn’t worry so much about whether they will like it. I’m sure they’d appreciate the thought especially as you haven’t been there long.

I had given a gift to my co-worker last Christmas. It's a Trackimo GPS tracker. She loves it because she likes traveling and trekking.
