We have a manager at work who is baasically a saint. He's just so nice and supportive and one of those rare people who cares about you and how you are. Our team want to do something to show we appreciate him but we don't want it to be inapporpriate or too much. Any ideas? He doesn't drink so it can't be alcohol but we don't know much more about him or what he likes. help!

really sweet of your team! maybe something simple but thoughtful, like a group card with personal notes from everyone about what they appreciate most about them? could also pair it with a small gift maybe a plant for his desk, a nice notebook, or a coffee/tea hamper. If the team’s up for it, you could even organise a casual lucnh to celebrate him. sometimes it’s the genuine messages that mean the most!!

if they don't drink alcohol, is it because of their culture? if so, it'd be worth talking to other people who share the same culture as him to find if there are certain gifts that are more valued.
At my work when people leave, we usually use customized gifts eg: a mug with all their favorite slack emojis, a calendar with each month being a different team member saying how they enjoyed working with this person etc.

So lovely that you want to do something like that. Does he have a birthday coming up? You could bake a cake and have everyone write a nice message on the card. 🎂
