If you know someone who is leaving and you may not see them for ever again, it is better to present a going away gift. That may help cherish and remember the memories. Since it is a small world, there are still chances of seeing them in the circle of life.
Going away gifts or send off gifts vary from simple gift cards or personalized memorabilia. A picture of them with you can be a good gift or a personalized message on a cup is good too. You may give them a gift card to the store they like, but they may not have access to the store or online shopping. A simple greeting card would serve the purpose of getting your message across.
A wall painting with flowers or pets is a good choice if they are nature lovers. A craft kit or a do it yourself kit may engage them for a while at the new place. Be sure they have enough place for your gift in their luggage. Or you may overload them with the bulkier items.
Ready to eat food items, chocolates, pastries may be gifted to use instantly but cannot be stored long time. You can think about what they like most or what your vision for them would be and gift the items. Remember that they are overwhelmed by the leaving and may not process the emotion behind your gift right away. But, may be when they look it back it at later they may find it sweet.
A humorous quotation, art, story or, poem may also help you transfer your message. It will be a pleasant experience for you and the receiver if you do not make a lot of fuss about your gift. You can keep it simple and sweet and keep the encounter memorable.
