Colleague's birthday gift: a small present from the team

Q: What should we give a colleague for their birthday?

A mug with the team photo and a card signed by everyone. Shipping is included, and split between ten people it comes to very little each.

Q: How much should each person chip in for a colleague's birthday?

That is up to each team. As a guide, divide the price of a mug, or of a mug and ten postcards, by the number of people: shipping is already included, so there is nothing to add.

Q: How can we stop forgetting birthdays at work?

An A4 team calendar with everyone's birthday on it, hung somewhere everyone walks past.

Q: How long does it take?

5 to 10 working days in the UK, Europe and the US including printing, up to 15 elsewhere: order two weeks ahead.

The mug with the team photo, the card everyone signs, without spending the whole week on it. Mug $23.00, shipping included.

The joint gift

The mug, $23.00: the team photo or an office in-joke. It stays on their desk all year.
Ten postcards, $26.00: a photo on the front, signatures on the back. The spare cards cover the next birthdays.
The hoodie, $50.00: for a milestone birthday, $5.00 each between ten.
The cap, or the tote bag, $35.00: if they have a nickname at work.

The mathsBetween ten colleagues, the mug comes to $2.30 each; the mug and ten postcards to $4.90; the hoodie to $5.00. Shipping included.

The photo

The team photo from the last away day or the last team lunch does the job perfectly. Ask the people in it first, and avoid any photo that makes someone uncomfortable: what gets a laugh by the coffee machine does not necessarily get one on a mug that is kept for years.

No good group photo? The studio has ready-made templates, such as Polaroid or Magazine: upload a photo of them and the template turns it into a design.

Never miss a birthday again

The real problem at work is the birthday you find out about that morning. The A4 calendar, , fixes that: twelve photos of the team, one per month, with everyone's birthday marked on it. Hung by the coffee machine, it comes to $0.00 each between ten.
