One of my collegues is leaving to start her maternity leave tomorrow and since I'd missed her baby shower, and kind of wanted to go, I got her something anyway. I also made her a card which I forgot to scan before I gave it to her *slaps head* which she absolutely loved. I wasn't sure if she'd be into that kind of art so I tested her by asking her 2 weeks ago if she wanted one of the bookmarks that I'd made.
