What to give your colleague on parental leave

Parental leave dismissal at work is a phenomenon of its own. Everyone gathers, someone has bought a cake, a last-minute gift is given, and there is a little speech that is warmly meant but a little too short to say anything important.

It is a great moment. And the gift is forgotten quite quickly.

What your colleague actually takes home

Parental leave is one of the major shifts in life. It’s also a period with quite a bit of time for oneself and quite a bit of time for drinking coffee in short windows of calm while someone sleeps. It is a situation where the right mug, the right shirt or the right apron is actually used on a daily basis and serves a purpose.

A gift with a motif that says something about the person, not about the baby or parenting, is an unusual and appreciated gesture. It reminds the recipient that there is a job, a life and an identity beyond diapers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is humor appropriate as a gift in such a context? It depends on the relationship and on the colleague. If you know the person well enough to know that it lands right, the answer is yes.

Can we give a joint gift from the whole office? Yes, you simply place an order and share the cost internally. Choose a theme that the whole group can get behind.
