A female colleague is leaving whom I get on with very well. She really spent a lot of time and money on my leaving party and I think its only fair I make some effort. Given that she got me a lot of kinky/raunchy joke stuff (I have absolutely no idea why) what can I get her that is funny and suitable (she has a boyfriend who's a mate of mine)? FYI, Im a bloke and not entirely well off. Thanks

Go to Ann Summers or river island and get her some chocolate willies or something. Explain to your mate that it's juat a joke!! If you feel silly doing this buy her a bottle of champagne or Asti if the cash is tight!!
Or get her both - so it's line drink and chocolates - but the chocolates are a bit special!!!!

Buy her a special card and tell her how you feel.
Organise a lovely leaving do for her - if short on funds then have a party in the office or at your home. Organise a collection in the office and get something nice to keep such as crystal glasses - Jasper Conran does some very stylish designer wine glasses, they're nice and weighty and a simple design. (This is why you need a collection - you'll be able to affford more!)
Personally, I'd leave funny - funny presents are good at birthdays and throughout the year - but leaving presents are something a little more sentimental I think.

You could either ask or ring her fella up and ask him what he thinks would make her chuckle cheeky present wise or you could get her some of those willy shaped chocolates and a copy of the Karma Sutra with a note saying if the book don't work then you always have the chocolates to fall back on.

Why not club together with your work colleagues to get her vouchers for a spa, so she can have a facial or a relaxing massage? It's something that I would appreciate, and if she's leaving to go to a new job, she may need to de-stress before she starts.

If you want to get kinda rude stuff, have a look in Ann Summers, they have cheapish joke stuff, for hen nights etc that would be cool.
Also have a look in your local 99p/£1 store, they often have nice stuff, like photo frames

try gifting her with some crystal ware.
or find out what she really likes and want to have.
attach the gift with a card with sweet writings (that will make her happy)
