The short answerFor someone moving abroad, think light and unbreakable: a tote bag with the group photo ($35.00), ten postcards each signed by a friend ($26.00), a t-shirt ($23.00). All three come to $84.00, or $16.80 each between five. Give it before they leave: for a far-off address, check with us before counting on a delivery date. Shipping included.

What actually fits in the suitcase

Whoever is leaving has already packed down to the last kilo. The mug and the frame, however good, usually stay behind at their parents' house. What really travels is whatever folds, slides into a suitcase pocket and gets used over there from the very first week.

The cards as a leaving guestbook

The set of ten cards makes a very good leaving guestbook: the group photo on the front, and everyone writes their own card on the back. They take the bundle with them, open it on a homesick evening, and pin one or two on the wall of their new room.

To fit everyone onto one image, the ready-made Team or Polaroid template does the job, and the studio's text ideas give you a starting point if nobody feels inspired.

The mathsTote bag and cards: $61.00, or $15.25 each between four. Tote bag, t-shirt and cards: $84.00, or $16.80 each between five. One card works out at $2.60. Shipping included.

Give it before they go, or have it delivered later

The safest option: give it before they leave, at the leaving do or the last night out. Printing and delivery take 5 to 10 working days in Europe: order at least two weeks before the date, and have it delivered to one of you to keep the surprise.

You can also have it delivered later: for their birthday or for Christmas, we ship straight to the address you give, shipping included. Allow up to 15 working days outside the UK, Europe and the US, and for an address that is far from Europe, ask us first before ordering rather than counting on a date. Another simple option: send it to their parents, who can hand it over on the next visit home.

If the group is as scattered as they are, Christmas gifts from a distance explains how to organise a joint present without meeting up.

The group photo

Take a recent photo of all of you, from the last night out or the last weekend together. If the background is busy (a bar, a messy kitchen), the free AI background-removal button cuts the group out and sets it on a plain background. The preview appears straight away on the tote bag, no account needed, and your photo is not sent anywhere before you order.

If it is a colleague leaving rather than a friend, the angle changes: a leaving gift with the team photo.

Prices include shipping, no minimum order. Printed to order one at a time near the delivery address: 5 to 10 working days in the UK, Europe and the US, up to 15 elsewhere.
