Farewell, Retirement & Thank-You Gifts

Farewell gifts and retirement presents are among the most emotionally charged categories in corporate gifting, and among the most commonly underinvested. The standard farewell: a card passed around for signatures, a cake in the break room, and a gift voucher chosen in haste. The recipient smiles. The moment passes. The gift is forgotten.

Warm Regards is Nishaw's collection for the departures that deserve better. Retirements after decades of service. Resignations from people who built something significant. Thank-yous to collaborators, advisors, and mentors whose contributions don't fit neatly on a job description. These are the goodbyes that deserve a gift equal to the relationship.

The centrepiece of the Warm Regards collection is the custom illustrated memory book: a handcrafted 40-page volume with illustrated scenes from the recipient's time at the company, team trips, significant projects, inside references, a letter from leadership, printed on 200gsm matte art paper and bound in cloth. We work with an illustrator who captures the warmth of these details without sentimentality. Recipients have been known to carry these for years.

Beyond the memory book, the collection includes engraved silver keepsakes, a paperweight, a letter opener, a bookend, personalised to the recipient's tenure. A premium relaxation hamper for the weeks after the final day. A slim personalised watch with the caseback engraved with dates and a phrase chosen by the team.

For companies with structured offboarding, we offer a tiered farewell gifting programme: standard thank-you gifts for all departures, and elevated gifts for senior or long-tenured colleagues. Budgets begin at ₹3,000 and scale to ₹20,000 for memory books and premium keepsakes. Lead times are 7–12 working days; memory books require a minimum of 10 working days.
