Aside from the typical flowers and lunch (clearly both of which were involved), I wanted to do something a bit more unique and on par with my colleague's personal taste and style. I arrived at this decision using the following formula:
HomeGoods + TJMaxx + flowers = lovely gift
Here is what we've got:
And of course, why wouldn't one want to join in on the camera fun and test out the new accent chair that was being occupied?
Really, who's cuter? The stationary or Lorelai? That's a toughie, but Lorelai, obv.
To build up the gift a bit I purchased some tea, a gift card to Panera, and a Bobble bottle (something she and I have joked about before).
For a close up, here is the pattern of the box. The pink and gold ties in nicely with the notepads and note cards. The Bobble and tea also tie in nicely with the floral pattern of the box. I used blue tissue paper to make everything inside pop and to coordinate with the blue flower in the pattern.
And because they are super pretty and make any gift better, I also purchased some lovely pink tulips with white rimmed petals and the vase which is beautiful on its own.
Oh to be good at floral arrangements. Add that to the bucket list.
Overnight the tulips really opened up (which was a huge relief, because sometimes flowers don't make it through the night in our office). They are gorgeous!
Special thanks to the recipient of this gift!
