The Definitive Guide: Why a Caricature from Steph's Sketches is the Supreme Retirement or Leaving Gift
Stephanie SmithShare
So, someone’s abandoning ship—sorry, retiring gracefully—and you’re tasked with finding the perfect leaving gift. Do you panic-buy a bottle of supermarket fizz and hope no one notices? Of course you do. But what you should do is order a caricature from Steph’s Sketches.
Here’s why it’s the undisputed champion of farewell presents.
1. The Gift That Says: “We Noticed Your Nose”
Anyone can get a voucher. But only a caricature announces, with affectionate exaggeration, that you’ve got ears like satellite dishes and a smile that could power the National Grid.
2. Immortality Without Surgery
Botox wears off. Hair dye fades. But a caricature freezes you in time, in all your glory, forever. It’s like having a portrait in the National Gallery—only with bigger teeth.
3. Cheaper Than Therapy
Colleagues often weep at leaving do’s. A caricature lightens the mood. Instead of sobbing into a lukewarm prosecco, everyone gets to point and shout: “Yes! That’s exactly how you look when someone forgets to unmute on Zoom.”
4. Classier Than a Novelty Mug
Nothing screams “we ran out of ideas” quite like another mug. A caricature, however, proves you’ve put in effort (even if you just clicked “order now” at Steph’s Sketches while half-asleep).
5. Works for Every Personality Type
The joker, the quiet one, the boss who thinks they’re terrifying but is really just very fond of pie charts—a caricature captures them all. It’s basically Hogwarts-level magic with pencils.
6. Guaranteed Talking Point
Unveiling a box of chocolates: polite applause. Unveiling a caricature: raucous laughter, photos, and at least one person gasping: “Oh my word, they’ve nailed the eyebrows.”
7. Outlasts the Buffet
The sausage rolls will vanish. The quiche will congeal. But the caricature? That’ll live on, framed and proudly displayed, long after anyone remembers how dreadful Derek’s farewell speech was.
8. The Legacy They Truly Deserve
After decades of meetings about toner refills, budget approvals, and the mystery of who keeps stealing the office teaspoons, don’t they deserve something extraordinary? A caricature is more than a gift—it’s closure, comedy, and commemoration all in one.
Final Word
For a leaving present that combines sentiment, hilarity, and the faint sting of brutal honesty, go for a caricature. Order now at www.stephssketches.co.uk and send them off in style—nose, ears, eyebrows and all.
