I gave my friend who moved to NZ a framed tile with a painting of the local market square, but there is a shop that sells that sort of thing for tourists.
Otherwise I’d be with the plant givers.

I gave a friend, moving from our town, a book of photographs of the town from the 1800s onwards produced by the local historical society. But if she has a garden, patio or balcony you can't go wrong with a plant. Or an indoor one.

Greyisnotmycolour - I was thinking the same.

Or, a silver bracelet with the name of your town engraved

Maybe a small print/painting of your current town as a reminder.

Will she have a garden ? If she will, I'd get a plant, maybe a flowering shrub that could go in a pot and won't need much maintenance.

I would send flowers about a week after she has moved.

A good friend of mine is moving to another area soon, and I’d like to get her a present but am not sure what to get.

We haven’t known one another long but have a lot in common. We share hobbies and interests so spend a fair bit of time together, and meet up outside of interest-related events and activities.

Anyway. She is downsizing so has got rid of a lot of things like books and personal possessions, so I don’t think getting that sort of thing would be appropriate. I’d like to get her something that would remind her of me, but I’m not sure what.

I think we’ll keep in touch and I know that I’ll miss her when she goes (she is moving to be near family, as she lives alone and is getting older).

I wondered about something to do with the town we both live in now. I have probably left it too late to commission something personalised though.

Does anyone have any ideas please?
