Hi there. A work colleague is turning 30 very soon and our manager is organising a collection for her. There will be 7 people in our department contributing (she may ask some people in other departments as it’s quite a big company). She has also said if we have any ideas for a gift to please let her know.
Does anyone have any suggestions please, as I am rubbish at this type of thing?
TIA.

Unless somebody on the team knowd her really well then it should be flowers and a gift token otherwise a piece of jewellery she can keep if she is into it.1

I'd not buy flowers - a complete pain to transport home. I'd rather a bottle of bubbly (cava/prosecco/champagne)
My usual go to otherwise are John Lewis gift vouchers.0 -
The thing is unless someone knows her likes and dislikes (or asks the birthday girl) then one person's treasure is another one's poison
eg you buy chocolates but she's diabetic. You buy flowers - she has hay fever. You buy alcohol - she's tee-total.
You could get a gift card - but again no point buying for a store she dislikes or is miles away from where she lives eg my nearest JL is now 75 miles away. . We can buy whole shopping mall gift cards where I live if that's an idea.0
