Gift Ideas for Colleagues in Singapore: Farewell, Secret Santa & Team Celebrations

Whether someone is leaving, it's Secret Santa season, or the team just hit a deadline, a small gift goes a long way at work. The trick with colleagues is to keep it thoughtful but not too personal. Here are ideas we stock, grouped by occasion.

Farewell gifts for a colleague

When a colleague moves on, a keepsake they'll actually use is better than another mug. A pocket watch or a hip flask works well for most people; an initial necklace or a photo locket is a lovely group gift for a close teammate – put a team photo inside.

Group gift idea: pool the team's budget for one nice keepsake, and pair it with a card everyone signs.

Secret Santa and gift exchange picks

Fun, small and safe for any colleague. A pack of stress balls is a desk classic, a squirting flower is a harmless prank gift that always gets a laugh, and glow-in-the-dark stars or a Chinese chess set suit almost anyone.

For the colleague who has everything

A light-up rose that never wilts, or a jar of 100 little message pills for the teammate who always cheers everyone up.

For the mahjong kaki

Every office has one. A mahjong headband is a guaranteed laugh at the next CNY gathering – and see our mahjong gift ideas for more.

Celebrating as a team

Birthdays, promotions and farewell lunches: a cake topper, a few balloons and disposable champagne glasses turn a pantry into a party.
