A Leaving Gift For A Colleague
Leaving cards fail in a predictable way: thirty signatures, four legible messages, no actual account of the person. A document that formally records what they were like to work with is a much better artefact, and it is the one they will still have in a drawer years later.
Record the tenure properly
Dates, roles, notable incidents, running jokes. A service record is funnier the more it commits to the format.
Include the team's shared references
Collect two or three things everyone would recognise before you write it.
End sincerely
One straight sentence about what the team will actually miss.
What makes it personal
Specific projects, specific habits, specific dates. Generic praise is what makes leaving cards forgettable.
What we would make
Government-Issued Relationship Report Card — $4.99
An absurdly official two-page assessment of their merits, infractions and continued eligibility — affectionate, specific and very formally typeset.
- A formal service record grading attendance, kitchen conduct and meeting contributions.
- A card issued as an official notice of departure, sincere inside.
- A report noting their outstanding record of remembering everyone's coffee order.
Also worth considering: Digital Emergency Card & Envelope.
How it works
- Answer a short set of questions about the person — habits, history, the running jokes.
- We write the gift from your answers and show you the finished thing.
- Pay $4.99 once, then download the clean file or send the private link.
Questions
- Can it be printed for a group signing?
- Yes, print the PDF and pass it round.
- Is it suitable for a manager?
- Yes, if the material is professional and shared.
- How long does it take?
- A few minutes.
Ready when you are
About four minutes from here to a finished gift. You see the whole thing before you pay.
