My coworker is going through a bit of a rough time and I’m trying to think of something small I could bring her to make her day a bit better.
It cannot contain any alcohol. It cannot contain sugar or carbs (diabetes). She has several young children at home if it helps and is expecting another. I’m also not looking to overwhelm her, so I need it to not be overly obnoxious.
Normally I like to bring sweets to people in scenarios like this, but I can’t in this scenario and I’m at a loss.
Thanks all.
Maybe a new journal and pen? A coffee or tea? A gift card to treat herself?
I had been thinking the gift card route tbh. I’m also worried she wouldn’t accept it!
Some people don’t want gifts like that, and I’d say respect their wishes. It might make the situation worse otherwise.
Maybe just play it as “I’m running out for a coffee. Let me get you one too.”
Problem is our job doesn’t entirely allow for things like breaks for coffee runs.
