Recently, one of my coworkers left our team and while I was so sad to lose one of my coworkers to a new office I was also super excited for her new beginnings. This coworker is more than just a work friend, she is a true friend. One that I spent my entire 9 years with, just steps away from one another. We have been there for each other through divorce, babies, break-ups, deaths, surgeries, and sickness. We kept each other sane in the crazy work world we lived in. Through the crazy she found a new calling – so even though I was secretly cursing her (maybe not secretly) for leaving our office I was also so happy for the new job she got. I decided that since she was getting a shinny new office I had to help her design her office space – she even has a door!! So lucky! HA!
I wanted to make sure her desk and office was full of bright, happy things because she would be missing me now! Okay, that was a joke…sort of. I went with some of the typical office supply items like new pens but they were fancy and bright and colorful, some pretty post it notes, you know for when I come to her office and I need to remind her of how much I miss her and I found the best notebook for her. “I Feel Beautiful Today” notebook might not be the best for executive meetings but I hope that she looks at the notebook when she needs motivation and inspiration through out the work week. I also found some of her favorite butterscotch candies for when those afternoon slumps hit.
I also stumbled on some amazing KLEENEX® boxes that instantly became one of my favorite parts of my Gift Basket. These KLEENEX® Betsey Styled Single Packs (74ct.) by Betsey Johnson are so fun. They come in 3 different designs that will brighten up any room but especially give a work office a perfect kick to a fresh designer office space. I decided to give my coworker a single pack but also included the KLEENEX® Betsey Styled Wallet 3 Packs as well.
One item that I just love is the mini orchid for her desk. Orchids are really great desk plants because they are hearty and totally make you feel like you are living in a spring garden every day. A new coffee mug and some gum for those garlic lunch days make this gift basket a hit. I love finding ways to include some necessities when building a gift basket and then also including some fun extras as well. Gifts that will be used are always the best gifts.
Once those pretty KLEENEX® hit my cart at my Kroger I was pumped to get to work and give my coworker this amazing New Job Survival Kit Gift Basket. I knew that she would appreciate my thoughtfulness but mostly those KLEENEX® Betsey Styled Single Packs! We work in an agency that has a lot of blue and down moments and you better believe that these will help anyone on a bad day feel better and brighter! If you are wondering – yes, I bought myself a box as well. My office space has never looked better!
Pretty awesome gift basket right? So while I let her go to her new office with tears in my eyes (seriously) I knew that she would do amazing things in her new job and guess what? I was right! Maybe it is her or maybe it is the inspiration that her new KLEENEX® Betsey Styled Single Packs gives her every morning when she walks into her designer office space! I will let you decide.
