Last Day of Your Internship? These are Some Gift Ideas for Your Coworkers
The last day of an internship is usually quite a memorable moment. After spending time with your supervisor and coworkers, of course, you may feel like giving them something as a souvenir.
It’s not something you have to do. But giving a small gift can be a simple way to show your gratitude and appreciate the people who have accompanied, helped, and been part of your internship experience.
Especially if you’re doing an internship abroad, giving Indonesian gifts can also be a great way to introduce your coworkers to a little bit of Indonesian culture and some interesting things from Indonesia!
These are some gifts ideas you might want to consider:
- Polaroid Photos
If you have a Polaroid camera, you can bring it to the office and capture moments with your coworkers during the last days of your internship. You can also write a short message or the date at the bottom of the photo. Simple, but it can be memorable because they can keep the photo as a reminder of the time you worked together.
- Indonesian Local Snacks
If you’re doing an internship abroad, bringing snacks typical of Indonesia can be an interesting choice. Besides being a gift, you can also introduce your coworkers to some popular Indonesian food and drinks. Some options you can bring are Indomie, Kopiko, Teh Botol Sosro, chips, biscuits, candies, or other local Indonesian snacks.
- Batik-Inspired Gifts
Don’t forget batik too! You don’t have to give a large piece of batik cloth; you can choose smaller items with batik patterns that are more practical to give as gifts. For example, a mini pouch, coin purse, tote bag, notebook, or keychain with batik patterns. Besides being easy to carry, gifts like these can also be a simple way to introduce one of Indonesian unique cultures to your coworkers.
So, before your internship ends, don’t forget to capture moments with your coworkers, say thank you, and if you want, give them a little souvenir.
