My dear friend and colleague, Taz, recently left and the 'usual' pool of money was collected for a great gift. I wanted to do something a bit more sentimental too.
Yes, it's that kind of team of people I work with ~ the ones that will gladly embarrass and encourage you to cry in front of a pub full of people at any opportunity.
That was the aim of the game.
I gathered together some random items.....
....and proceeded to write a poem (of sorts!)....
1. Wispa bar 2. Star fridge magnet 3. body lotion with 'smile' on it 4. Anti-bacterial gel 5. photo pen
6. anti-wrinkle cream 7. Haribo 8. Tissues 9. 'shine' body lotion 10. Me to You bear
I wrapped each item up and numbered them. A simple gift that really didn't cost much at all but it took lots of effort and some time.
beautiful , you are a wonderful friend
ReplyDeleteI like to make my friends know that I'm thinking of them :)
DeleteThat's a great present, might pinch that idea sometime.

ReplyDeleteEmily, I just live this idea, so creative and so personal. Great poem and live the little gifts :) thanks for linking up #GoldenOldies
ReplyDeleteAwwwwww ! That’s such a delightful and loving gesture especially the poem and the gift wrapping. You could have tried out giving a gift of Botox Sheffield treatment to your friend.
