Buying bday gift for work colleague?

Hi

This isnt related to any work rightsor legal problems, but just need some general advice.

I started a job last month and have got to know this girl in my team really well and fallen in love with her lol (shes single) and have alot in common. Its her bday 2moro and im thinking of getting her a small present less than a fiver, but would this come across as weird/inappropiate given iv only known her for a short time?

Also iv been offered a new job so might be leaving soon

    Just ask her if she is having a birthday drink, say you have made me feel welcome and would love to help you celebrate.

    Avoids the awkward "here is a present for you".
