Back to work presents

[Stillwishihadabs]

A Df has just accepted a job offer after SAH for 2 years. I wanted to send her a "Back to work surrival kit" So far I thought naice instant coffee, travel mug, maybe high quality tights ?.Any other ideas ?

Nice stationery?

A bodum coffee mug and a nice diary/notebook? Tkmaxx do both

How is she getting to work? Even if driving is parking nearby? Cos I'm thinking a good wind resistant umbrella.

What type of job? If office, nice pen (engraved so no cf can nick it!)

Great ideas yes driving. Also thinking maybe smart lunch box ?

I just went back to work after 18 months off following the birth of DD and an international move, no one got me a present!!! Would you like to be my friend please?!

But in all seriousness... I would have loved a Starbucks gift card, a mug, a nice a5 notebook (professional cover obviously) and some nice tights but you'd have to know her size and preferences.

(Small?) bottle of wine for the evening of the first day

Hair ties, deodorant wipes, lipsalve, emergency cover up stick, tissues (all things I’ve wished I had at work in my drawer at one time or another!)

Such good ideas, so far I have; coffee mug, costa gift card, note book, lip salve (?hand cream?) Pen(s) and tissues- any more ?

I've just gone back to work after (gulp) 14 years. My very lovely friend bought me a pen, a notebook and a pencil case. They were very much appreciated.

stillwish I read your “Pen(s)” as “penis” 😁

DH has suggested breath freshener spray or mints for after curry lunchtimes and headache tablets for when your friend turns up with a hangover 🙄😀

A more sensible suggestion was a shoeshine thingy, don’t k ow what they are called and a folding umbrella.
