15 farewell gift ideas for your Hotel General Manager

When your General Manager is leaving, you want to thank for the guidance and the great opportunity to learn from his / her experience. You can show the appreciation by gifting a very expensive pen, or, equally impress him with your creativity on a lower budget.

Below is the list of the ideas for the farewell gifts.

• Video
• Include hotel surroundings, rooms, restaurants, video episodes from the past team events and wishes from the team. Sprinkle some humor and add romantic music. It will instantly become a Facebook hit for you and your GM.
• A framed image of the team.
• In front of the Hotel or in the lobby; on the stage or in the cafeteria; serious or wacky – it does not matter. What matters is the moment captured in history, an opportunity for your GM to look back and be proud of the team he / she managed.
• A t-shirt with an image of the team.
• The image will look sharper if it includes less than 10 faces. Select a t-shirt of a lighter shade (white, yellow, gray) and ask everyone in the image to sign the t-shirt with a permanent marker.
• A framed image of the Hotel

• Puzzle with the image of the Hotel

• A Hotel beach towel.
