Same problem every year - gifts for team at work

And I’m leaving. So it’s a goodbye/ thank you as well. I really like them (well, some of them!) and genuinely want to say goodbye, thank you, happy Christmas with the gifts, but just can’t think what to get.
They are all drinkers except one, but booze seems a bit of a rubbish present for them as they all just buy whatever I can afford to give in their weekly shop anyway.
I’ve worked with them for years and give two gifts usually - summer (school) and Christmas. So I’ve run out of ideas even more than ever. And have left it way to late to order personalised/ own design stuff as time crept up on me.
Any ideas please?
There are 10 of them - 7 women, 3 men.

I've found personalised notebooks from Getting Personal .com. Lots of designs to choose from, 10% off first order. They won't be too heavy to post, and I may be able to deliver two locally anyway.

Hope this helps someone!

Our work gift was a nice reusable travel coffee cup a bit like this one...

Scratchcards might work with a coffee voucher (for the poster above who said what would be good for posting)

Get the non drinker some seedlip, is expensive but lovely non-alcoholic maybe?

Catflapkitkat · 10/12/2020 06:29

For the non drinker Google best non alcoholic wines - tons of choice. Or the website dry drinker.

What is your budget? I gave my team flowers, and sent them to their homes.

£10 I'm going to look at monopig and the personalised notebook

@LifeOfBriony I have received moon pig gifts and chocolates as they are really not worth it.

Frexinet (sp?) do a lovely rose non alcoholic fizzy wine.

Just jumping back on as I've just used biscuiteers for all of my lovely clients and suppliers, they are running low on stock but are apparently lovely!

Fortnum and Masons do lovely small food gifts, e.g nice tin of biscuits. Just looks a bit nicer than average, but still a sensible price. Everyone will know it's a bit special - I hate wine gifts though!

You can buy bugger boxes of chocolates from the supermarket and wrap and post them yourself for less than the moonpig cost. Just did that this week for team presents.
Also done biscuiteers this week, I really like them and there's still a few things available.

I'm pregnant this year so got a festive plant when the others got booze which was nice to be acknowledged. That was in person though so did make it easier - no wonder royal mail is so overwhelmed this year!
Don't over think it OP, gestures are fine, just crack on as delivery is becoming an issue
