Questions
Is this a spreadsheet file or a PDF?
It's a printable/digital pack you can print as sheets or copy the layouts straight into your own spreadsheet or notes app — whichever suits how your office organises things.
Will this work for a small team of 5 as well as a big office of 50?
Yes — the budget guidance and tracker scale either way, with specific suggestions for both small, close teams and larger offices in Section 3.
What if the collection is a surprise and the person might see this?
Keep it on your phone, email, or printed pages tucked away from shared desks — there's nothing in the pack that needs the leaver to see it in advance.
Does it tell me exactly what gift to buy?
It gives you a structured list of ideas by budget and occasion so you can decide quickly, rather than a single prescribed gift — every office and leaver is different.
Can I reuse this for future leaving dos and retirements?
Yes, it's designed to be used again and again — just start a fresh tracker each time.
