What is a good gift for a male coworker...?

Question

Who just received his MBA, is leaving for a new job, and is in his late 30s. He is married with 2 kids, so he is a family man.

I want to get him something professional in nature, but not sure what.

Answer 4

I've experienced this many times with well liked and not so liked co-workers.Be certain about what he likes.Ask other co-workers if they would like to get involved.Don't go into your own pocket too deep.Let others pitch in.Sometimes going away is best remembered as a group.Take pictures,have a lunch party!If you want it one on one,then you may have to dig a little deeper.Include the wife.Best ideas of what he really likes or things to do.Overall,make it fun,take some pics,and have some memories.Good Luck.

Answer 5

I think a going away dinner would be in order, with maybe a small gift such as a nice desk clock or picture frame for his family.  If it's a group effort, maybe you could spring for a new brief case or a gift certificate to a restaurant you know he and his family like.

Answer 6

Something for his desk, like a nice business card holder or pen set.
