Gifts for colleagues: a duck for every job (leaving, new job or just thank you)

Gifts for colleagues are tricky. Personal, but not too personal. Fun, but not a joke that falls flat. Usually under €20, and usually bought on short notice. A duck that matches their job ticks every box: it says "I know what you do", and it ends up on their desk for years.

When a duck is the right gift

• A colleague is leaving. Something for the new desk that reminds them of the old team.
• New job or promotion. Pair a job duck with Champagne.
• Thank you. For covering a shift, fixing your laptop, or answering your questions.
• Get well soon. A small cheer-up for someone at home, from the Get Well Soon collection.
• A team gift exchange. Everybody gets a duck that fits them. Guaranteed laughs.

Buying for the whole team?

Mix and match a different duck for everyone: 3 ducks −10%, 5 or more −15%. A duck per person costs less than a round of drinks, and unlike the drinks, they are still there next year.
