New job Hamper

Mrs_Moore_To_Be

Hi All,

My Husband has just got a new job in an office (was an engineer) and its a big promotion. Its his b'day too so Ive got him a present but wanted to do a 'new job' hamper. So far Ive got:

Shirt
Tie
Jumper
Razor Blades
Mug
Notebook
Socks
Book

What else could I put in there? Looking at another £30 -£40 max

Thanks In advance! x

How about:

A nice pen/set of pens
A photo for his desk of you/family etc
If he likes specific brands of tea/coffee/herbal tea etc (Alot of offices provide basic ultra cheap versions)
A packet of his favourite biscuits/snacks to stash in his desk.
Diary
If he uses the train to get to work you could get a Bite card for discounts at the station food outlets.

Hope this helps x

If his office is near a coffee shop you could get a gift card? Or a flask/travel mug for his hot drinks.
Will he get business cards? a business card holder might be nice if so.
A bit left field, but how about a hand cleaner gel? Some desks are a bit grubby.

Lovely idea, and huge congrats to your hubby

Costa nearby so great idea. And business card holder - hadnt even thought of that!

Think I was having a mental block. x

Will he need a new memory stick? Or what about a letter rack or penpot? You can get some quite nice matching sets of office desk furniture. If you order from Staples, they often have a free gift as well

How about some 'emergency' things to keep in his desk drawer? Like Paracetamol, Imodium etc. Hand gel is a good shout as someone said. Chewing gum.

You can get printed mouse mats or one with a still of his favourite film on it?! (I'm looking around my desk for ideas and mine has John Travolta on it!!!)

Also you can get desk calendars and things personalised at Vistaprint. But perhaps that's better saved for a Christmas pressie idea!!

Memory stick ordered

Was thinking of a mousemat, cant decide what to get on it from all his favourite things. Will have a think.

Will def go for the desk calendar from vistaprint at xmas as I got one before and love it!

Thanks for the ideas x

A desk organizer and you could have one of those personalized calendars with you pictures on the pages.
