Under ten euros is the standard for a draw or a small gesture. Nobody expects more, and more can even feel awkward.
All the usual amounts per occasion are in the gift etiquette. Chipping in without the hassle? Start a gift moment or use the Split tool.
Plenty: something tasty, a small plant, a funny desk item or a game for the break room. Original matters more than expensive.
For a draw or a spontaneous gesture, absolutely. For a farewell or retirement the team usually chips in for something larger.
Add a card with a personal line, and wrap it properly. Presentation does more for perceived value than another five euros.
