A skid-control or advanced driving course with an instructor. Around $120-350.

A farewell dinner
A table for the whole group before the move. Around $40-150.
A cars-and-coffee morning
A weekend meet with coffee and a drive afterwards. It costs little.
A stargazing night
A blanket, a flask and a dark spot away from the city lights. It costs little.
A phone-free day
A day with no screens, planned in advance. It costs nothing.
Buying for a car lover
If they spend weekends at meets or on the road, think of gifts that improve those hours: gloves, a good dash cam, a track session or a drive somewhere scenic.
Skip anything that has to fit a specific car unless you are sure of it.
Buying for a coworker
Work gifts should be modest and non-personal. Keep to the office budget and avoid anything intimate, like perfume or clothing.
A card with a specific thank-you matters more than the object.
If the goodbye is this week
Table bookings and a personalized game can be arranged online the same day. An oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment, and it travels as a link, which suits someone moving away.
A going-away gift should be light enough to pack. Think small, personal and easy to keep.
What should I get a coworker who loves cars as a goodbye?
An advanced driving lesson, a Lego Technic supercar or a car magazine subscription. For a personal touch, add a personalized pixel game with a quiz of your inside jokes.
What is a unique going-away gift for a coworker that is not just another object?
A playable gift: a small game where they are the hero, with a letter from you at the start and a closing one at the end, small enough to carry as a link. It gives them a memory instead of more luggage. A game with them behind the wheel of your story suits the mood.
Can I send a coworker a gift online at the last minute?
Yes. Table bookings and digital gifts arrive the same day. An oin game is generated automatically after payment and usually emailed within an hour.
