25 Farewell Gift Ideas for Colleagues
That They Will Actually Keep

As an individual, ₹200–500 is standard and entirely respectable. For a close teammate, ₹500–1,000. Pooled team gifts typically total ₹1,500–5,000 with contributions of ₹200–500 per person. Spending should reflect the relationship, not seniority - and nobody should feel pressured into a collection.

For a boss, keep it thoughtful but professional: a premium journal and pen set, a book with a handwritten inscription, or a pooled team gift like a framed caricature - avoid anything too personal or expensive from one individual, which can feel awkward. For a peer, inside jokes and personalisation are fair game: custom mugs, engraved keepsakes, or an experience voucher.

Same-day options that still land well: a premium chocolate box (₹300–500), a desk plant, a digital experience voucher, or a bookstore gift card - each paired with a handwritten card, which you can produce in ten minutes and matters most anyway. In Bangalore, curated gift boxes can be delivered same-day. For more ideas at this price point, see our corporate gifts under ₹500 guide.
